It has been a long six weeks for the Dallas Cowboys as they waited out the suspension of running back and offensive centerpiece Ezekiel Elliott. Now it is done, and Zeke is set to take the field this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.
The problem is that it may be too late to salvage the season and get the Cowboys into the playoffs. In order for them to do so, they have to not only win their last two games, but need some help in the form of the Detroit Lions losing one game and one of the New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, or Atlanta Falcons losing both their remaining games.
