The divisional race is very much alive. Dallas needs to win on Sunday to keep it that way.
Philadelphia’s loss to San Francisco early Sunday evening stoked the embers of that Cowboys-Eagles rivalry even more. If Dallas is able to extend its league-best home winning streak next week at AT&T Stadium, the Cowboys would go into the final four weeks of the regular season ahead of the Eagles.
Dallas would take the lead on the fact they’ve played — and won — one more NFC East game than Philadelphia. They would also own a half-game lead based on the second tie-breaker, which is common opponents.
