The Dallas Cowboys clinched a playoff berth Sunday following Washington's loss, news that brought all the excitement of a digital clock turning midnight. The Cowboys can get used to the lack of drama. The NFC East is also all but won following the Giants' loss in Pittsburgh, forcing us to start looking ahead to the Cowboys' playoff run.
Dallas has aced every possible regular-season test. They've won shootouts against high-flying offenses like the Steelers and Commanders. They've completed comebacks against strong defenses like the Eagles and Ravens. The Cowboys even showed Thursday night they could win a defensive battle on the road in Minnesota, a rare game where their power-packed offense lacked electricity.
Securing the No. 1 seed in the NFC is a matter of when, not if. A chance to avenge the team's only loss thus far next week at MetLife Stadium could be the last truly meaningful game the Cowboys play until mid-January. In the meantime, the Fighting Daks will adjust to their new role. With December here, they have transformed from the season's best story to favorites for the Super Bowl. Now comes the hard part.
