We discussed the state of the division in great detail on the latest episode of the NFC East Mixtape on the Blogging The Boys podcast network. It is interesting to consider what things would be like for Philly if they lost to say both Dallas and New Orleans and created a world where they need the Week 18 win against the New York Giants who will also be jockeying for playoff position. It goes without saying that the Jalen Hurts injury is a factor here since we don’t really know how good the Eagles, a great overall team, will be with Gardner Minshew under center. The Eagles would have to lose out (at DAL, NO, NYG).The Cowboys would have to win out (PHI, at TEN, at WAS).In order for the Cowboys to win the NFC East things have to essentially go 100% their way. Once again, we are not suggesting that this is particularly likely, but it is a fact. That likelihood took a big hit last week when the Cowboys lost pace with the Eagles by losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars (Philly beat the Chicago Bears to stretch their lead) but there is life left in the idea, however faint it is. The first step in the Cowboys hypothetically earning the one seed in the NFC obviously requires them winning their own division. Here is how the Dallas Cowboys can win the NFC East While things certainly feel a lot more likely in one direction than others, there are technically a number of possibilities for America’s Team depending on the results of their own games and a few others.įor the purposes of staying organized we have assembled Dallas’ path to various outcomes as we approach Saturday’s Christmas Eve matchup against the likely Jalen Hurts-less Philadelphia Eagles. Regardless of what happens over the course of the final three weeks of the regular season, the Cowboys have a seat at this season’s proverbial playoff table.
