Having pulled out a hard-fought victory on Thursday night against a tough Minnesota Vikings team at home, the Dallas Cowboys were able to sit back, relax and watch their NFC East foes play on Sunday. Fortunately for Dallas, all three of their divisional rivals were defeated. That not only means the Cowboys have now increased their lead within the division, but they have also clinched a spot in the playoffs.
The 11-1 Cowboys are the first team to earn a place in the postseason this year and should now be considered the odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl.
