The San Francisco 49ers lost to the TennesseeTitans on Thursday night and the Dallas Cowboys secured a playoff spot for the first time in three years.
The Dallas Cowboys can focus on winning the division in Week 16 if they beat the Washington Football Team or if the Philadelphia Eagles lose to the Giants.
This is the first time that Mike McCarthy has been the Cowboys' coach. Dallas was overrun by injuries in 2020 but has been much healthier this season.
That's not to say that the team that will be in the playoffs is a perfect picture of health.
Running back Tony Pollard and tackle Tyron Smith sat out Week 15 with injuries. Three times this season, the Cowboys have put together a lineup with three receivers.
The Cowboys can now focus on seeding. They are in the running for the second seed in the playoffs. They are jockeying with the Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Raiders, and Arizona Cardinals, who are all sitting at 10-4 entering Week 16.
