Ten things to know about the Dallas Cowboys (4-9), who host the New York Jets on Saturday night:
1. Because of the overall badness of the NFC East, the Cowboys remain alive (barely) in the division, which means they should be motivated for the game in theory. They've clinched their first losing season since 2010 and they could end up with a top-5 draft choice. Dark days in Dallas.
2. The Jets' last meeting against the Cowboys was a classic -- Sept. 11, 2011, the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. On an emotional night at MetLife Stadium, the Jets won a thrilling season opener, 27-24, on Nick Folk's field goal with 27 seconds left.
