The entire season has boiled down to this singular moment. Through what can only be described as sheer mercy from the football gods, the Cowboys have been handed control of their destiny within the NFC East heading into the final game of the regular season.
The objective is simple: beat the Commanders in the nation’s capitol. Do that, and you’ve locked up the division and the second seed in the NFC. That guarantees a home game in the Wild Card round, a place that the Cowboys are undefeated on the season. And should they win that first playoff game, it guarantees at least one more home playoff game, too.
