Cowboys must watch as others decide their playoff fate " Inside The Star
"For the Cowboys, Saturday's Eagles-Commanders showdown is the one they will be glued to their television screens watching. Dallas has to hope for an upset as Philadelphia is favored by 6.5 points over a Washington team missing its starting quarterback, Jayden Daniels. To remain alive for the NFC East title, the only path remaining to the postseason for the Cowboys, Marcus Mariota must lead the Commanders to a win. That can't be a good feeling down at The Star."
"In addition to the Eagles clinching the NFC East on Saturday, the other three NFC divisions will see head-to-head matchups between teams either in first or second place in their respective divisions. In fact, each of the winners of those three games will walk off the field in first place in their division. No matter who wins the games. The man in charge of scheduling the season at the NFL deserves a raise. He couldn't have done a better job of it in the NFC."
"Tonight's game between the Rams at the Seahawks features two teams deadlocked at 11-3. The Rams won the first meeting in Los Angeles, giving the tie-breaker. A Rams' win and the Seahawks would need to win out. They'd also need to have the Rams lose both of their remaining games to take the NFC West. A Seattle win puts them in the driver's seat."
Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season begins tonight in Seattle with the Rams-Seahawks game. The Dallas Cowboys' playoff fate hinges on Saturday's Eagles-Commanders matchup; Dallas needs Washington to upset Philadelphia to remain alive for the NFC East title. Philadelphia is favored by 6.5 points over a Washington team missing starting quarterback Jayden Daniels. If Marcus Mariota leads the Commanders to a win, Dallas keeps hope; otherwise their postseason chances will likely be eliminated before their Sunday game. Several NFC division races feature head-to-head matchups that will produce new division leaders regardless of outcomes. The Rams-Seahawks result will determine control of the NFC West.
