"Both teams started scratching starters that seemed otherwise healthy enough to play. Maxx Crosby clearly had enough and stormed out of the Las Vegas team facilities. It seems Crosby wanted nothing to do with what was becoming the "Tank Bowl" as the teams with the two worst records met for the No. 1 draft pick in April. Meanwhile, the Eagles are looking at either the second or third seed in the NFC playoffs depending on how next week's games play out."
"As far as the Christmas Day showdown, aside from Netflix's hideous production, the Cowboys had a good day. Dak Prescott and KaVontae Turpin set an NFL record. Their 86-yard touchdown was the longest touchdown pass on Christmas Day in NFL history. Prescott also passed Troy Aikman for most passing attempts in team history with 4,748. Prescott has 4,482 passing yards this year."
Christmas Day NFL matchups produced mixed results, with only the Cowboys game providing notable on-field milestones. The Giants–Raiders contest generated most of its drama before kickoff as teams scratched otherwise healthy starters and Maxx Crosby left the Las Vegas facilities in protest. Crosby clearly rejected association with the so-called "Tank Bowl" as both clubs vied for the No. 1 draft pick. The Eagles face a potential second- or third-seed finish in the NFC depending on remaining results. Dallas is mathematically locked into second in the NFC East and could draft between 13th and 18th overall.
