With a little help, a win could put Dallas Cowboys in playoffs

Yes they can!

Dallas can clinch a playoff berth this weekend.

The Cowboys (9-5) are in a battle with several teams, mainly Atlanta (9-5), Tampa Bay (9-5) and Philadelphia (8-5-1) for two wild-card spots with two weeks left in the season.

According to the NFL’s math, the Cowboys can clinch a playoff spot this weekend. Here’s how:

A Dallas win over Baltimore, plus a Philadelphia loss or tie at Washington, plus a Chicago loss or tie against Green Bay on Monday night, plus an Atlanta loss at Minnesota.

A Dallas win plus a Philadelphia loss or tie, plus a Chicago loss or tie, plus a Tampa Bay loss against San Diego.

A Dallas win, plus a Chicago loss or tie, plus a Tampa Bay loss, plus an Atlanta loss.

A Dallas win, plus a Philadelphia loss or tie plus an Atlanta loss plus Dallas strength of victory (winning percentage of teams they’ve beaten) tiebreaker over Chicago.

After party plans

The Cowboys will have a postgame ceremony Saturday to commemorate the final NFL regular-season game at Texas Stadium.

Nearly 100 former players and coaches (minimum of five years of service to the Cowboys at Texas Stadium) will be introduced and make a final walk across the midfield star.

Hall of Famer and former Dallas Cowboys great Michael Irvin will host a Toys for Tots Christmas Concert on Monday at the House of Blues in Dallas.
