Cowboys news: Doom, gloom - and a couple of rays of hope

Nothing sums up just how badly Dallas has squandered their opportunities better that the first sentence of this article.

For the first time this year – in the last week of the regular season – the Cowboys no longer control their playoff destiny.

Last Sunday’s 17-9 loss at Philadelphia put the Eagles (8-7) in control of the NFC East in Week 17. To clinch the division and make the postseason for the second straight year, the Cowboys (7-8) need a win Sunday at home against Washington (3-12) and an Eagles loss on the road against the New York Giants (4-11).
