"You may have felt that this was the case for some time already in a matter of fact sense, but it became official on Saturday night when the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders. Thanks to losses over the last two weeks to the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings the Cowboys left themselves with only one path into the postseason and that was as the hypothetical winner of the NFC East. That will not come to pass as the Eagles have now won it."
"Dallas missed the playoffs last year, they were eliminated around the same time as it happened on December 22nd, which means they have missed the postseason for two years in a row for the first time since 2019 and 2020. Then, like now, the Cowboys were in the final year of one head coach (Jason Garrett) and the first of another (Mike McCarthy). It is almost like that is not necessarily a recipe for success."
The Dallas Cowboys were eliminated from playoff contention after the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders, ending Dallas's only remaining path to the postseason as NFC East champions. Losses to the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings in the previous two weeks left the Cowboys dependent on an Eagles collapse. Dallas missed the playoffs for a second consecutive year, the first back-to-back absence since 2019–2020, coinciding with a head coaching transition from Jason Garrett to Mike McCarthy. The team faces organizational introspection, has three regular-season games remaining, and will see its Super Bowl/NFC Championship drought extend to 30 years.
