Cowboys' path to playoffs becomes clearer after stunning upset of Saints

ARLINGTON, Texas – In 2009, the Dallas Cowboys went to the Superdome with their season on the line against the undefeated New Orleans Saints and left with a win that propelled them to an 11-5 finish and a wild-card playoff win.

On Thursday, the 2018 Cowboys faced a Saints team that came to AT&T Stadium with a 10-game winning streak and was considered perhaps the best team in the NFL, but the Cowboys had some momentum of their own and pulled off a signature 13-10 win that gives them an 80.2 percent chance of making the playoffs.
