On Thursday afternoon, Dalvin Cook cleared waivers and, following rumors circulated among rival bidders, the four-time Pro Bowl running back inked a contract with the Baltimore Ravens, the clear favorite to win the Super Bowl.
Tony Pollard will lead the Dallas Cowboys’ running back room going into the NFL playoffs, despite the team having previously shown some interest in this endeavor.
Next Sunday’s game between the Commanders and the Cowboys is now set to begin at 3:25 CT. Dallas is starting as a 13.5-point favorite against a lackluster Washington club; in fact, there are advantages to Washington folding their tents at this stage, considering the NFL Draft order.
Meanwhile, the Eagles’ Sunday meltdown will help the Cowboys win the NFC East, and they will do so with a victory over Washington.
The full explanation of why Dallas, an 11-5 team that has won 16 straight games at AT&T Stadium, is now scheduled to host at least two playoff games can be seen below.
December 30 OUT-SMARTED The Dallas defense bailed out to help the home side hold onto its first-half advantage despite the Dallas Cowboys being outplayed twice in a brief second-quarter span by the Detroit Lions.
Clever play number one: Just short of the goal line, CeeDee Lamb was reaching in for a second touchdown throw from Dak Prescott when a Detroit defender batted the ball free, causing Lamb to fumble through the end zone and give up a touchback.
During the next Detroit drive, Dallas’ defense held. However, the Lions executed a brilliant fake out of fourth-down punt posture, and their drive was maintained with a long completion on the play.
However, once more, Dallas’ defense held, forcing an incomplete on fourth down and preserving the Cowboys’ 7-3 lead with Detroit in the red zone.
DEC 28 TYRON GOOD There’s excellent news at left tackle according to the Dallas vs. Lions FINAL Practice and Game Status Report.
Tyron Smith is next, moving up to “questionable” (back). On Saturday night against the visiting Lions, he is anticipated to play. In the interim. Rico Dowdle and Jonathan Hankins are out.
