Dallas Cowboys Playoff Berth Rooting Guide

First off, we need Dallas to win over the Giants for any of these scenarios to be plausible. So, the first part of the equation is a Cowboys win on the road.

Screenshot, bookmark, or feel free to do whatever you want to do with the bullets below to follow along Sunday as we hope to get our first goal (making the playoffs) crossed off the list.

  • NFC East Clinching Scenario:
    • Cowboys win over Giants at 1pm ET + Eagles win (or tie) over WFT at 1pm ET
  • Playoff Berth Clinching Scenarios:
    • Cowboys win over Giants at 1pm ET + Falcons win over 49ers at 4:05pm ET
      • OR
    • Cowboys win over Giants at 1pm ET + Buccaneers win over Saints at 8:20pm ET

No matter what happens, the Cowboys are very likely to make the playoffs and at this point are just looking to improve their seeding and clinch the division. Can’t wait for Sunday!
