Week 16 of the NFL football schedule is underway, with every NFL team taking the field this weekend. Sunday and Monday are going to have a decidely NFC feel, however, as three games are already in the books and they were all AFC matchups.
The early and late windows are highlighted by NFC on NFC violence and both night games feature two NFC teams as well. Will the Dallas Cowboys be in one of those matchups today?
The Cowboys’ last-ditch effort to turn around is still on life support after a win over the Carolina Panthers, 30-14. The team’s negative magic number is now one, a loss or a victory by Washington officially ends Dallas’ campaign. And they will find out early on Sunday as the Philadelphia Eagles will look to clinch the division with a win over Washington. If they can’t, and the Commanders win, Dallas will be officially eliminated before they take the field for Sunday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Here’s a look at Dallas’ schedule so far this year.
