"After having a week off to a bye week in Week 10, the Dallas Cowboys get back in the saddle tonight against the Raiders in Las Vegas. For Dallas, the situation is as crystal clear as it is dire. They can only afford two more losses over the final eight games to have any hope for the playoffs. Losing to beatable teams is not within the Cowboys margin of error right now. They hit the field tonight basically already in playoff mode."
"The last thing that Dallas can afford to do tonight is start looking ahead to next week. The Cowboys have six days off before starting a brutal three-game stretch. It begins on the 23 rd at home against the Eagles. Four days later they host the Kansas City Chiefs. Seven days later, Dallas hits the road to play the Lions in Detroit."
The Dallas Cowboys return from a Week 10 bye to play the Las Vegas Raiders in a must-win environment. The Cowboys can only absorb two more losses across eight remaining games to keep playoff hopes alive, so losses to beatable teams are unacceptable. Dallas faces a brutal upcoming stretch: at home vs. the Eagles (Nov. 23), then hosting the Chiefs four days later, then at Detroit seven days after that. If Dallas drops all three, the season will be over regardless of the result in Las Vegas. This is the first meeting with the Raiders in Las Vegas, and the clubs have a close series history.
