The Dallas Cowboys managed to keep their faint hopes alive in Week 9 by barely beating a bad Indianapolis Colts squad, 27-23. For a minute it looked like an Arizona game redux, but Dak Prescott managed to get the team in position to win it. Then Caleb Downs sealed the deal with an interception.
At 4-5, Dallas is still technically in the playoff chase, but the way the team is playing it doesn’t feel like a lot of hope. Still, any time an NFL team has the playoffs as a possibility, they should chase it within reason.
The Cowboys are in the middle of a soft portion of their schedule, except for the game coming up. They will host the 7-1 San Francisco 49ers next Sunday. The 49ers dispatched the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday by a score of 38-17.
Even playing at home, you might have guessed that the Cowboys won’t be favorites.
