Cowboys Plan to Keep on Driving Even If Home Field Clinched

Scenario 1: Play Romo because he needs live reps: The Dallas Cowboys have the best record in football but are not unbeatable.

Now, that’s progress toward where the Cowboys hope to be. They can also clinch a first-round bye in the NFC playoffs with a win combined with either a Lions loss or tie or a Seahawks loss. This success thing is kind of tricky. And by the time he gets to “it makes for better football”, you either are getting agitated or you are from Texas. Even if the Cowboys finish 11-5, there is no scenario where Dallas doesn’t at least get the 2nd Wild Card.

Look at the Cowboys’ 17-15 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, as gritty at it comes considering Dallas’ offense had season lows in yards (264), passing yards (124), first downs (13), third-down conversions (1-for-9) and points.

Not for Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins. “But we still have a lot more to play for moving forward”. But the spot was overturned on review.

Sure, you might be sick of seeing the Cowboys by the end of this season.

“But I don’t know that you gain anything at all with, you just use good sense”.

According to a Monday afternoon report from Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, Cowboys’ running back Ezekiel Elliott and quarterback Dak Prescott are the two leading fan vote-getters for the upcoming Pro Bowl.

Elliott has certainly gotten things right and is a MVP candidate with 1,285 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns.

And now he is preparing for a rematch with the only team that contained him the entire game.

Elliott rushed for 51 yards on 20 carries, averaging just 2.55 yards a carry.

“Just didn’t do my job well enough”, Thielen said. With a Washington Redskins loss on Sunday in Week 13, they became the first team to lock up a playoff berth. The Vikings were a desperate team playing at home with one of the league’s top defenses and they were able to slow the Dallas offense, yet the Cowboys found a way to win due to their defensive toughness throughout the game.

Jerry Jones doesn’t sound interested in resting starters. I mean, when do we ever hear Kyle Wilber’s name mentioned? We’re always pushing each other at practice, trying to get the best out of each other. (Maybe they’re truly likable or maybe, like the Golden State Warriors of 2014, they’re likable only because they’re unknown and soon their true, insufferable colors will emerge.) Now, with Prescott bestowing greatness upon a team in Week 14 – a team that needed overtime to beat the Eagles – we have it. Philadelphia played us to the wire.

They will be focused on the task at hand; working hard on improving as individuals and as a team with each day of practice and preparation up until the Giants game- which will be the team’s primary focus.
