For the first time since 1995-1996, the Dallas Cowboys have won double-digit games in back-to-back years. They had to struggle to do it, needing a goal-line stand and a 98-yard game-winning drive against a one-win team to accomplish this, but accomplish it they did.
In most seasons, winning 10 games is a ticket to the playoffs, and 2022 is no different. Sitting at 10-3, Dallas still has a relatively realistic shot at earning the No. 1 overall seed. To do this, they’ll likely need to be perfect down the rest of the season and win all four remaining games. In addition, they’ll need the 12-1 Philadelphia Eagles to lose one of their three non-Cowboys games. The Eagles clinched a playoff spot in Week 14, and now the Cowboys have a similar opportunity. There are five different ways that Dallas can punch their ticket this weekend.
