The Dallas Cowboys will play more than their guaranteed 17 games this season. This much was known after the early window on Sunday afternoon, when the Carolina Panthers beat the Atlanta Falcons. While clinching a playoff spot for the third straight year under Mike McCarthy is nothing to scoff at, the way Dallas played in Buffalo on Sunday did nothing but reignite questions about how legitimate of a postseason contender this Cowboys team can be. Now with just three regular season games remaining, one at home where the Cowboys remain a different team entirely, and the other at a Commanders team that dropped to 4-10 and lost in Dallas 45-10 on Thanksgiving, the Cowboys are running out of time to change the narrative.
