Dallas Cowboys officially eliminated from playoff contention after Eagles’ victory
The Eagles secured their second consecutive NFC East title with a 29-18 win, ending the Cowboys' playoff hopes and marking Dallas's first back-to-back playoff miss since 2020.
- On Dec. 20, the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders 29-18, clinching the NFC East and a playoff berth while eliminating the Dallas Cowboys from contention.
- Entering the week, the Dallas Cowboys sat at 6-7-1 with one mathematical path remaining requiring wins in their remaining three games and losses for the Philadelphia Eagles in theirs.
- On the field, the Eagles separated in the second half as Jalen Hurts threw two touchdown passes with no turnovers, Saquon Barkley surpassed 1,000 rushing yards, a late interception set up his 12-yard touchdown, and Jake Elliott missed two field goals.
- The result leaves the Eagles well positioned for playoff seeding as Philadelphia clinched the NFC East repeat title, likely finishing No. 2 or No. 3, while Dallas misses the playoffs again.
- Looking forward, critics point to Dallas' offseason moves and roster questions as the defense ranks 29th without Micah Parsons, while insiders stress finishing Brian Schottenheimer's first season strong.
