The Dallas Cowboys suffered a tough road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and the loss could have significant implications for their playoff chances. The Cowboys are now in a precarious position, as they are likely to face away games in the playoffs if they make it that far.
The Cowboys had a chance to clinch a playoff spot with a win over the Eagles, but their offense was unable to get anything going. The Cowboys were held to just three points in the first half, and their defense was unable to stop the Eagles’ offense. The Eagles scored 24 points in the second half to seal the victory.
The loss puts the Cowboys in a difficult position. They are now tied with the Washington Redskins for the NFC East lead, and the Redskins hold the tiebreaker due to their head-to-head win earlier this season. This means that the Cowboys will likely have to win out in order to make the playoffs.
If the Cowboys do make the playoffs, they will likely have to play away games. The NFC East is one of the toughest divisions in the NFL, and the Cowboys would likely have to face one of the other division leaders in the wild card round. This means that they would have to travel to either Seattle, San Francisco, or Green Bay for their first playoff game.
The Cowboys have been one of the most consistent teams in the NFL this season, but their road loss to the Eagles could prove costly. If they do make the playoffs, they will likely have to play away games, which could make it difficult for them to advance. It will be interesting to see how they respond in the coming weeks as they try to secure a playoff spot.
