Both the Colts and the Cowboys have been playing good football lately. The Colts have won 6 of their last 7, while the Cowboys have won their last 5. They clash on Sunday in Indianapolis in a game that both teams need to win desperately.
For Dallas, they are trying to keep their lead in the NFC East. The rest of their division has played terribly recently, so they are trying to make sure no one can come back and take their crown from them. They want to make sure they win the division.
For Indy, they need to win to stay in the hunt for the second wild-card spot.
