The Dallas Cowboys are officially eliminated from playoff contention.
For the last 25 years, Cowboys fans have had every season end before the ultimate goal as the mountain of heartbreak and disappointment continues. It’s the first time since 2013 that this Cowboys team has missed the playoffs in two consecutive seasons. And in both cases, they entered the regular-season finale with a shot to get in only to not have things go favorably in Week 17. While the actual winner of the division is still up for grabs, we now know it will not be the Cowboys.
