"The Cowboys' loss to Detroit coupled with the little bit of help ( being generous) they received across the rest of Week 14 made their hopes of a Wild Card spot seem all the more improbable. There is a strong argument to be made that the most probable path left for Dallas is as the NFC East winner and that potential reality became more possible thanks to the Chargers beating Philly."
"In order for the Cowboys to win the NFC East at this point they have to win out and pick up two more Eagles losses. Had the Eagles won then Dallas would have needed another loss from this group which would have been hard to imagine. This is why Monday night's result is so big. While the Cowboys did lose last week the idea of them holding up their end of this bargain carries legitimate possibility."
The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Detroit Lions on Thursday night, but the Los Angeles Chargers beat the Philadelphia Eagles in overtime on Monday, providing crucial help to Dallas. The Cowboys' loss and the Chargers' victory made a Wild Card berth less likely and strengthened the case that the most probable path to the postseason for Dallas is winning the NFC East. To win the division, Dallas must win all remaining games while the Eagles must lose two more times. If the Eagles had beaten the Chargers, Dallas would have needed an additional loss elsewhere. The Cowboys face the Chargers next Sunday.
