The final week of the 2019 regular season is upon us. While the season hasn’t turned out the way most had hoped for, the Cowboys still have an outside chance to make the playoffs. First and foremost, they must emerge victorious in a rematch against the Washington Redskins.
The Cowboys last played the Redskins way back in Week 2, a 31-21 Cowboys victory. Dak Prescott had 269 yards passing to go along with three touchdowns. Ezekiel Elliott had a touchdown to go along with 111 yards rushing.
A victory alone Sunday won’t clinch a playoff spot for the Cowboys, however. In addition to defeating the Redskins, the Giants must defeat the Eagles for the Cowboys to play January football.
Fortunately, things may be a bit easier as the Redskins are missing rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins and star rookie receiver, Terry McLaurin. Given recent history, however, injuries of opposing teams haven’t made things easier for the Cowboys, and Dallas may be without Tyron Smith and Byron Jones.
A loss Sunday would almost assure the Cowboys a top-15 pick in the 2019 draft with a 7-9 record. A win would secure an 8-8 record for the fourth time under Jason Garrett, and there might not be a more symbolic exit if Garrett is indeed let go.
One thing is certain, there will be a lot of scoreboard watching as both NFC East games kickoff at the same time. It’s too bad the Cowboys didn’t take care of business to render that irrelevant.
