A victory for the Commanders could position them as strong contenders for the division title, especially if the Eagles continue to falter. For the Cowboys, a win is crucial to maintain competitiveness in the division and to boost team morale. The game also highlights the ongoing struggles of the Cowboys' defense, which currently allows the most yards per game in the NFL. The outcome could influence future strategic decisions for both teams, including potential roster changes or coaching adjustments.
What's Next?
