The Dallas Cowboys are still fighting for pride despite being eliminated from the playoffs during the early window on Sunday.

It was a long shot for months they would even make the postseason, but there was still an outside shot until Week 16. That's a testament to the team's character since their season seemed lost when Dak Prescott suffered a torn hamstring in a loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

During their Sunday Night Football game, they continued to show their character by taking an early lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even more encouraging was seeing Prescott walk without crutches for the first time. According to Melissa Stark of NBC, this is a new development with Prescott shedding them just last week.
