Match Prediction:
When the Cowboys (10-4) host the Washington Football Team (6-8) on “Sunday Night Football” (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC) in the penultimate game of NFL Week 16, they will be looking to wrap up their first NFC East title in three seasons.
Dallas clinched a return to the playoffs in Week 16 and made sure Washington can no longer win the division, as the lead increased to four games with only three games left.
Although the Cowboys aren’t lighting it up on offense, they keep rolling with defense and special teams. Washington has faded hard from potential wild-card team to also-ran with no repeat in the East.
Box Score:
The Cowboys (11-4) tied the franchise record for points in a first half while taking a 42-7 lead and frustrating Washington to the point that defensive tackles Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne scuffled on the sideline.
Dallas didn’t need to win to add the division title to the playoff berth that was sealed with San Francisco’s loss to Tennessee three nights earlier. Las Vegas’ 17-13 victory over Denver took care of that about an hour before kickoff, giving the Cowboys a tiebreaker over Philadelphia.
Record:
Washington (6-9) allowed its most points since 2010 in the most-lopsided loss for either team in a storied rivalry played 124 times.
Washington’s playoff hopes are faint, but not gone.
“I told them you play this game long enough, you’re going to get beat like this,” coach Ron Rivera said. “How you respond to it, how you bounce back, how you play, that tells more about you than anything else.”
