Cowboys stay alive in wide-open NFC East race with win over Eagles

The Dallas Cowboys aren’t done yet.

Once written off in the lowly NFC East, the Cowboys scored a critical 37-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday afternoon. After Washington’s loss to the Carolina Panthers minutes earlier, Dallas now enters the final Week of the NFL season at 6-9 with its playoff hopes very much alive.

Washington had a chance to lock up the division title and the NFC East’s only playoff berth, but left the door open for the Cowboys and the New York Giants in Week 17. The Eagles, thanks to Sunday’s loss, are the only team eliminated from the race at 4-10-1.
