Don’t look now but the Dallas Cowboys are just two games out from the last NFC wild card spot. With five games left on their schedule, and some winnable ones on the horizon, the needle is starting to move back toward the dreamers and the possibility, albeit faint, of the team still qualifying for the postseason.
On top of Dallas’ win over the Giants, the Bears’ loss to Detroit was another potential positive toward the playoff dream. Chicago would’ve moved to 5-7 with the victory, just like the Cowboys are now, and would’ve had a ton of confidence after putting down the Lions.
