Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury, though head coach Mike McCarthy has not confirmed the duration. Prescott will miss the upcoming game against the Eagles, with Cooper Rush starting in his place. Further evaluations will determine if Prescott will be placed on injured reserve, which would sideline him for at least four games.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has reportedly issued an ultimatum to head coach Mike McCarthy, emphasizing the importance of not repeating the New England Patriots' 2019 mistake of losing a crucial game that cost them a higher playoff seed. The Cowboys, favored to win against the Washington Commanders in Week 18, are reminded of the Patriots' loss to the Miami Dolphins that year, which led to an early playoff exit and marked Tom Brady's last game with the team. McCarthy's job security may hinge on the team's ability to secure the NFC East title and the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs.
The Dallas Cowboys, under head coach Mike McCarthy, have a chance to secure a favorable playoff seeding in the NFC, with the most likely outcome being the second seed, which they can clinch with a win against Washington or a combination of losses by Philadelphia and Detroit. Despite a mid-season slump, the Cowboys have capitalized on the Philadelphia Eagles' recent losses to vie for the NFC East title. The least likely scenario is falling to the fifth seed, which would happen if Dallas loses to Washington and Philadelphia wins against the New York Giants.
The Dallas Cowboys, led by coach Mike McCarthy, have had a mixed performance in their recent "playoff-type" games, finishing with a 2-2 record. Despite the inconsistency, they stand at 11-5 and have a chance to win the NFC East if they beat the Washington Commanders in Week 18. The team has shown resilience, especially in their recent 20-19 victory over the Detroit Lions, but there are concerns about their offense and late-game defense as they head into the playoffs. The Cowboys aim to improve and capitalize on their home-field advantage, where they've been undefeated, to make a deep playoff run.
