"Due to the tie versus Green Bay, the Cowboys cannot finish with more than nine losses on the season, so matching losses with another team still leaves Dallas with a higher winning percentage. The magic number is nine. Cowboys fans should want as many other teams as possible to stay at or below nine losses before the season is over."
"Obviously, fans would like a higher draft pick, but after the Cowboys were officially eliminated after the loss to the Chargers at home, HC Brian Schottenheimer vowed that the objective is still to win. There will be no tanking in Dallas. As long as Dak Prescott is standing at the line of scrimmage barking orders, the goal is to win the game."
