The fact that the Dallas Cowboys are even in contention for a playoff berth in Week 17 of the 2020 season is kind of a miracle. At one point this team was 2-7, and then 3-9, those are records that usually say “mathematically eliminated.” But given the state of the NFC East, the Cowboys recent three-game winning streak has thrust them right back into the race.
The scenario is known: win on Sunday versus the New York Giants, and then have the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Football Team, and the Cowboys are NFC East champs.
