The Dallas Cowboys are trying to get it together. Their potential spot in the playoffs may depend on it.
On Thanksgiving, the Cowboys lost for the sixth time in nine games, falling to the Buffalo Bills at home 26-15. After starting the season with three straight wins, Dallas is now 6-6, the worst record of any division leader in the NFL.
The Cowboys remain in first in the NFC East because of the rest of the division's struggles. However, they have only a one-game lead over the Philadelphia Eagles, so they need to have a strong final month of the season to hold them off.
