"Cue the clowning on social media. The Dallas Cowboys' playoff hopes went from slim to near impossible in the span of one week. Week 15 was not kind to the Cowboys with the cards not falling their way in several matchups that would have helped them inch towards the playoffs. Despite the help needed from others, Dallas could not take care of things in their own backyard,"
"allowing J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings to steal a win under the Sunday Night Football lights at AT&T Stadium. The loss dropped the Cowboys to 6-7-1 on the season, and sent most of the fanbase into 2026 NFL Draft mode. They might be drowning, but they are not dead in the water just yet. There is only one path left for the Cowboys to capitalize on their 1% chance for the playoffs, and you're not going to like what it is."
The Dallas Cowboys fell to 6-7-1 after a Week 15 home loss to the Vikings, drastically shrinking playoff prospects. The loss pushed much of the fanbase toward 2026 NFL Draft mode while leaving a 1% mathematical chance alive. Dallas must win its final three games — a home matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers followed by road games at Washington and New York — to keep any hope. Defensive failures and earlier upset losses to the Panthers and Cardinals contributed to the current hole. Cornerback DaRon Bland is out for the season and Trevon Diggs remains sidelined by coaching decisions, raising concern about stopping high-powered offenses.
