A week ago we were debating the merits of Philadelphia versus Washington on Monday Night Football because the results would have a big impact on the Dallas Cowboys playoff picture.
Personally I was rooting for a Redskins win to give the Cowboys more room for error. Washington let the New York Giants drop a 40-burger on them on Sunday, evidence that they weren’t necessarily a team to be feared. Meanwhile, the Eagles took Dallas to overtime which was proof that they were the better team.
As fate would have it the Eagles won which set the Cowboys up with the ability to all but end the NFC East discussion in Week 14.
