What Happened to the Cowboys Dallas? In a surprising turn of events, the Dallas Cowboys received good news on Sunday when they clinched an NFC playoff spot, despite a dismal performance in their late afternoon game against the Buffalo Bills. The news came as a silver lining amidst a horror show where the Bills dominated the Cowboys in every aspect of the game.
As reported by Blogging the Boys, the 31-10 loss to the Bills not only dealt a severe blow to the Cowboys’ record, dropping them to 10-4, but also raised concerns about their playoff positioning.
What Happened to the Cowboys Dallas?
The Cowboys were hoping for a victory to maintain pressure on the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East standings. Unfortunately, the defeat allowed the Eagles to reclaim the top spot in the division temporarily. With the upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins, who have been performing well, the Cowboys find themselves labeled as underdogs.
“Things don’t get any easier as next week Dallas hits the road again for a game against the Miami Dolphins, and they are already underdogs in that game,” reports indicate, highlighting the challenging road ahead for the Cowboys.
Focused on the Present, Not the Playoffs
Despite clinching a playoff spot, the Cowboys seem unfazed and are more concerned about their current form and performance. Quarterback Dak Prescott expressed his indifference towards the playoff qualification, stating, “Didn’t pay attention to that. Don’t care, to be honest.” Prescott emphasized the team’s focus on putting forth their best performances each week, a sentiment echoed throughout the season.
“So [we] can check it off, but we’ve got other things to focus on. I’ve continued to tell you all in different times this is about us putting our best performances out each and every week, and today we simply didn’t do that. So that’s where the concern and that’s where the focus is right now, much more than us getting to the playoffs,” Prescott explained.

While the Cowboys have secured a playoff spot, their current seeding as the fifth-seed wild card spot is not set in stone. The outcome of the Eagles’ game on Monday night will determine the Cowboys’ position. If the Eagles lose two of their final four games, and the Cowboys maintain their performance, there’s still a chance for them to reclaim the top spot in the NFC East.
In light of recent events, it appears the Cowboys are facing a tough road ahead, with the possibility of having to win three playoff games on the road to secure a spot in Super Bowl LVIII. The team’s fate hangs in the balance, dependent on both their performance and the outcomes of crucial games in the coming weeks.
As the regular season winds down, all eyes are on the Cowboys and their quest for redemption, hoping they can overcome the recent setbacks and make a strong playoff push. Stay tuned for more updates on the Cowboys’ journey as they navigate the unpredictable twists and turns of the NFL season.
