NFL Week 15: 5 Teams That Must Win Keep Playoff Hopes Alive
By Ryan Ratty
Dallas Cowboys
After getting beaten by the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13, the Dallas Cowboys needed to get some help to win the NFC East. After beating the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football, the Cowboys got that help from the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14. The Seahawks went on the road and beat the Eagles. Because of that loss, the Cowboys will now have an opportunity to take over first place in the NFC East with a win against the Eagles in Week 15.
Obviously, winning on the road in Philadelphia will be easier said than done, but the good news for the Cowboys is that they’re the NFL’s best away team at 6-0. After that game, the Cowboys will have a tough schedule at home against the Colts and on the road against the Washington Redskins. If the Cowboys hand the ball off to DeMarco Murray and find success in the rushing attack, things will be much easier for Tony Romo in this game. This game could ultimately defend Romo’s legacy. If Dallas wins this game, they will be in prime position to make the postseason.
