Cowboys playoff chances could come down to an old friend in Dan Quinn

"The Cowboys still have plenty of work to do, needing to sweep the rest of their schedule that includes the Los Angeles Chargers, Minnesota Vikings, Washington Commanders, and New York Giants, but trailing the Philadelphia Eagles by a game-and-a-half, the Cowboys playoff hopes could very well lay in the hands of old friend Dan Quinn. Over the next four weeks, the Eagles will see the Las Vegas Raiders, Washington Commanders twice, and the Buffalo Bills."

"It's quite simple, the Cowboys finish the season 4-0 and the Philadelphia Eagles lose two more games and the Cowboys are NFC East Champions. The Cowboys could afford to drop one more game, but then the Eagles would need to lose three of their remaining four. With four games left, the Philadelphia Eagles will play the Washington Commanders twice. Despite the Commanders 3-9 record, Washington has played the Eagles tough in recent years."

The Cowboys must sweep their remaining games against the Chargers, Vikings, Commanders, and Giants to overtake the Eagles, who lead by 1.5 games. If the Cowboys finish 4-0 and the Eagles lose two of four, Dallas wins the NFC East; if the Cowboys drop one, Philadelphia must lose three of four. The Eagles' remaining opponents are the Raiders, Commanders twice, and the Bills. Washington has been competitive vs. Philadelphia despite a 3-9 record, and quarterback availability (Jayden Daniels' arm injury or Marcus Mariota starting) could influence outcomes. A Commanders win and an Eagles road trip to Buffalo are particularly consequential.
