The Dallas Cowboys have reeled off three wins in a row, including back-to-back short week victories over the defending conference champions. What has it got them? The need to keep winning, that’s what. Next up on the schedule, a Thursday tilt with the Detroit Lions. The Cowboys are a half game behind the Lions in the playoff race, as both squads are on the outside looking in, currently.
In essence, with the way the teams ahead of them are playing, this is a de facto elimination game.
Both teams began their preparation on Sunday, so it’s a perfect time to reflect on the Cowboys’ 53-man roster, as well as the players who are on the practice squad and the injured lists.
