The Dallas Cowboys have a slim chance of making the 2025 NFL playoffs, standing at 6-7-1 and just 0.8% viable for postseason advancement according to CBS SportsLine’s model.
To maintain any hope, the Cowboys must win their last three games while the Philadelphia Eagles must lose theirs. Given the Eagles will be facing struggling teams like the Washington Commanders, Dallas’s playoff ambition appears precarious. Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer remains focused on winning rather than looking ahead to future seasons.
Quotes:
“I want to win,” Schottenheimer stated, emphasizing the decision to continue starting Dak Prescott.
Prospects for the Cowboys are bleak, and yet Prescott echoes a commitment to success, stating:
“You play every game with a chance to go to the playoffs and play in the Super Bowl. Fortunately, that’s not always the case.”
With potential records on the line, including the possibility of leading the NFL in passing yards, pride is a motivator for Prescott as he aims to secure a winning season. Remaining Schedule:
| Game | Cowboys | Eagles |
|---|---|---|
| Week 16 | vs. Chargers (10-4) | at Commanders (4-10) |
| Week 17 | at Commanders (4-10) | at Bills (10-4) |
| Week 18 | at Giants (2-12) | vs. Commanders (4-10) |
Despite the uphill battle, Prescott affirms:
“Yeah, there’s a lot to play for. Obviously pride is number one.”
