In Week 15, the Dallas Cowboys will attempt to make the playoffs for the second consecutive season. There are several possibilities for the Cowboys to punch their ticket. You're in if you win. First, they can clinch a spot by defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 15. The Jaguars come into the game with a 5 - 8 record and are looking to keep their AFC playoff hopes alive. Even if the Cowboys and Jaguars tie, they will still be in the playoffs.
Next, Dallas will need help from their NFC East rivals, the New York Giants and Washington Commanders. The Giants and Commanders will face off in primetime on Sunday Night Football in Week 15. The Cowboys would need the matchup to not end in a tie, as was the case in Week 13. More specifically, a loss by the Commanders would help Dallas punch their ticket into the postseason.
With Zach Wilson promoted to Quarterback(QB1), the Lions are favored to beat the Jets this week:
Another game of importance for the Cowboys is the game between the Detroit Lions and New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. The Lions are seeking to find their way into the playoffs this season, currently sitting with a 6 - 7 record.
If they fall short against the Jets, the Cowboys will be in the postseason. Also, Dallas is still in play to win the NFC East should they win in Week 15.
How the Dallas Cowboys could still win the NFC East with a victory in Week 15
A win in Week 15 for the Dallas Cowboys would secure them a playoff spot and keep them in the hunt for a division title. Currently, the Philadelphia Eagles have a two-game lead in the NFC East over the Cowboys. Defeating the Jaguars would help them as they face the Eagles on Christmas Eve at AT&T Stadium. A loss in Week 15 would weaken their chances of a division crown.
The Cowboys won the division last season with a 12 - 5 record and have a 10 - 3 record at the moment. With the Eagles currently sitting with a 12 - 1 record, the Cowboys will likely have to win at least 13 or 14 games to repeat as NFC East champions. We'll see if the Dallas Cowboys can do their part and win and get into the playoffs.
