The time until the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles are set to take the field is best counted in minutes. With both teams fighting for their playoff lives, the Cowboys have announced the captains for the Week 16 divisional game.

First up is Tyrone Crawford, who may be playing his final home game in a Cowboys uniform. There’s little other reason in terms of ability in between the lines, but he’s always been the consummate professional for a team that’s often sorely needed it.
Wide receiver Amari Cooper will be holding it down on the offensive side of the ball. He may be having his best season in an already strong career in 2020, as he is set to hit 1,000 yards on the day despite playing with four different quarterbacks on the year, only one of which was any good.
Cornerback Chidobe Awuzie is the third captain. He missed the majority of the season with a hamstring injury but has resumed his starting duties since his return in Week 11.
