Browsing through YouTube like a tend to do, I came across a video that is both mildly entertaining and disturbing at the same time — no, it does not star Rex Ryan’s wife. It is a video featuring members of the Pittsburgh Steelers attempting to sing Christmas carols. The defensive line is incredibly energetic and actually steal the show. The Steelers appear to be just as good at singing as they are at following the NFL guidelines on hitting. WARNING: ear plugs may be necessary to make it through the video. Have a listen.

Backup quarterback Jon Kitna has shown a lot this season. He stepped up for the injured starting quarterback Tony Romo and has had a solid season under center for the Cowboys.

ESPN Dallas takes a look back at the Dallas Cowboys milestone victory against the Washington Redskins. With the victory, the Cowboys tied Manny Pacquiao in wins at Cowboys Stadium in 2010.

The Washington Redskins have seemingly made the conscious decision to tank the remainder of the season sending to the bench their best offensive weapon and their most dominant defensive player.  Seemingly they are doing this in order to improve their draft position and will undoubtedly draft a quarterback. The Dallas Cowboys, on the other hand, are playing to win these final three games against the aforementioned Redskins, the Arizona Cardinals, and the Philadelphia Eagles.  At 4-9, the Cowboys have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.  The question is, whether it would be better go finish strong or go out with a whimper.
