Think finale is meaningless? Why Cowboys have a lot to gain by playing to win vs. Eagles

FRISCO -- Irrational concern rages as the Cowboys prepare for their regular-season finale against Philadelphia.

One question: Compiling the best record in franchise history, which the Cowboys can do with a win, is meaningless? You consider that insignificant given this organization's rich tradition?
