The Dallas Cowboys have a lot of work to do in order to secure their sixth Lombardi trophy. Winners of five in a row as they enter their Week 15 contest withthe Buffalo Bills, the team is looking to prove their worth with a road win over another championship contender. It would be great if they could somehow hold onto the NFC East No. 1 spot over the next month, and even better if they could somehow take over the pole position in the conference.
But the first step in all of that is making the playoffs, and now they’ve officially done that. Thanks to the results from the games before their kickoff, Dallas has done so. The combination of the Atlanta Falcons losing to the Carolina Panthers, the Green Bay Packers losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit’s Saturday night win over Denver brings Dallas their third consecutive playoff berth.
