The Dallas Cowboys loss on Sunday to the Miami Dolphins was unfortunate. While what happened at Hard Rock Stadium will take a couple of days to fully get over, the reality is that as frustrating of a loss as it was for the Cowboys, their hopes of winning the NFC East were not significantly dampened.
Entering Week 16 the Cowboys knew that they had to win at least two of their final three games, with one of them having to be the regular-season finale on the road against the Washington Commanders, and pick up a loss - any loss - from the Philadelphia Eagles in order to win the division.
