"While nothing can be gained in that sense, the Cowboys can absolutely benefit from certain things in this contest, namely playing time for players down the roster who offer hope for the future. As an example consider that Jerry Jones noted on Tuesday that Jaydon Blue could see some time in this game. The Cowboys would be very well-served to figure out what someone like Blue can give them in 2026 and beyond."
"The Dallas Cowboys are set to play in their season finale on Sunday and it is unfortunately a meaningless game for them as far as playoff implications go. This has been the case for a few weeks now."
"With all of that being said, what do you hope to gain out of the season finale? Perhaps your answer is something entirely different and in no way related to players down the roster getting some snaps with the starters. Maybe you want to see the team win. Who knows."
The Dallas Cowboys enter their season finale with no playoff implications, making the game effectively meaningless for postseason positioning. The contest still provides value by allowing evaluative playing time for players deeper on the roster who could shape the team's future. Owner Jerry Jones indicated that Jaydon Blue could see snaps, offering a specific example of a depth player to assess. The team can use the game to determine how such players might contribute in 2026 and beyond. Fans may prioritize different outcomes, including development of prospects or simply a season-ending win.
