If they lose 3 and we win 3 do we get the 1? Or are their some tiebreaker scenarios?
No, the Vikings or San Fran most likely take the 1 in that scenario.

Thanks to Green Bay and Jax, it doesn't matter. The Eagles aren't losing three. They probably win today with Minshew.

Can we get the 2 if we win 3 and they lose 3?

Makes sense. They have to lose out and everyone chasing them has to take care of business for their spot to be at risk. I wouldn't play him until the final game to shake rust off and then most likely you are kicking back on a bye

The Cowboys largest concern right now is health. A key player is now getting hurt almost weekly it seems. If the division doesn't look likely-rest. Benefit of locking up postseason early

I think there are still some options since they technically haven’t wrapped it up but it’s a very long shot

I don't know about the 1 seed. But I'm pretty sure Dallas wins the division.

Unless the Eagles win today, Hurts will not be out until the playoffs. They can afford to lose 2 more games and still be the #1 seed. But you can be sure Hurts will be playing against the Giants if they do.

Beags have to win just one more game. It's no big deal. They can let hurts sit.

Don't wish injuries on any player. But, selfishly, I would be content with the Vikes getting the number 1 seed. Dallas going thru Minnesota and the Eagles and 9ers having to beat each other up would be a better path IMO.

It's easy to see which teams have ascended heading into January. Cowboys ain't one of them.

Could be one of those injuries, it did not seem or feel bad as it was. Until after the game, or later on that night. As it stiffened up. He played on adrenaline and while the shoulder was loose to finish the game.
Also how many pass attempts did he have after that, as well, how many times did he run.
I didn't play that much attention. I know he threw a bunch of deep deep passes after he was driven to the turf. He struggled in the first quarter, but looked normal the rest of the game after the injury. I've seen a lot of QB's get their collarbone broke getting driven to the turf like he did. He was very lucky.

He was hurt in the 3rd quarter so it wasn’t the entire game.

He likely was running on adrenaline and didn’t realize he was that hurt because it was not broken.

Shannon Sharpe said Brian Greise had the same injury in a game, took a shot and finished the game.

He likely would tough it out if this game mattered to them. One big shot and he could miss the playoffs and that isn’t worth it.
There's so many degrees of bruises. Hurts took a lot of shots after that particular one, and he kept running, and kept getting hit. It didn't faze him. I'm guessing he was sore when he woke up. I did not see him favor the shoulder at all. I thought that injury took place late in the 2nd quarter but it could have been early in the 3rd. You would've thought he would have been medicated at halftime like he would have been if he played today.
