Fantasy time.
Here's what has to happen for Cowboys to make postseason:
1) Cowboys have to win out and go 10-6
2) Seattle needs to lose minimum of twice (which would include our game). They are currently losing at Jacksonville and play at home vs LA Rams next week, before playing us.
3) Need Atlanta (8-5) to lose twice (remaining schedule, at Tampa, at New Orleans, Carolina)
4) Need Green Bay (7-6) to lose once. (remaining schedule is at Carolina, Minnesota, at Detroit)
5) Need Detroit (7-6) to lose once. (remaining schedule Chicago, at Cinci, Green Bay)
It doesn't really matter about New Orleans and Carolina.
There are apparently some scenarios where we would win a 3 or 4 way tie, but the above are the easiest paths.
