The Dallas Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs during the early window when the Washington Commanders knocked off the Philadelphia Eagles.

They still have their own game to play with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the schedule for Sunday Night Football. Dallas is just 1-6 at home, so it will be interesting to see if they can come out with some motivation in this one despite being eliminated.
