After their latest disaster against the Cardinals, the Dallas Cowboys feel more like a charity case than a contender. But as fitting as a classic Jim Mora “Playoffs?!” meme feels at this point, Dallas is still mathematically alive in both…
Jess Haynie of Blogging The Boys outlines the ideal Week 9 NFL outcomes for the Dallas Cowboys to remain in playoff contention. Entering the week with a 3-5 record following a loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Dallas sits in the lower tier of NFC wild card contenders.

Haynie also highlights the importance of AFC teams beating NFC wild card contenders, specifically favoring the New England Patriots over the Green Bay Packers to improve the potential draft position of Green Bay's 2027 first-round pick.
