The divisional title gave the feeling of being assured. However, the Cowboys’ two consecutive knockdowns opened the doors for the other franchises to get pretty close. Dallas for now leads with a 7-4 record, but their rivals have improved considerably in their performances. That is why getting a win tonight is an obligation for the team.
Washington Football Team (5-6)
One team that benefited from bye week was the Football Team. Just as the Cowboys lost a certain rhythm after the break, in this case the opposite happened. At that time their mark was a regrettable 2-6, although they left that situation behind with three victories one behind the other. This time they took advantage of some Seahawks in clear decline on Monday Night Football.
The interesting thing about that game was that the Washington kicker got injured early, so the offense was forced to risk several times on the fourth down. Taylor Heinicke’s performance was pretty solid. Despite not completing large numbers in the statistics, he managed his unit soberly. Although they were quite superior in their production, the outcome was full of suspense.
The absence of a kicker made WFT unable to kick a field goal that would have been decisive. A mistake by Antonio Gibson allowed the clock to stop. That help is almost too costly because Russell Wilson received the ball with more than two minutes trailing 17-9. Wilson would lead Seattle to a touchdown, though they would miss the two-point conversion. The visit recovered the kickoff kick, but the referees canceled it for an infraction.
In week 13 he must visit Las Vegas (6-5).

Philadelphia Eagles (5-7)
The big loser of the week was undoubtedly the Eagles. Their resurgence had given them hope to stalk Dallas. Especially since they had to face a franchise in free fall like the Giants. However, they found a way to squander the chance of hitting the .500 mark at locations.
From the visual point of view it was an unattractive duel. The stagnant offensives made the score very low. A rather poor performance from Jalen Hurts throwing the ball contributed greatly to the 13-7 decline. The quarterback completed 14/29 passes for just 129 yards through the air and three interceptions.
One pick even avoided what would have been an easy field goal to go into halftime 3-3. Although the most worrying thing for Philadelphia is the physical state of Hurts. Beyond the end of the game, an ankle injury could limit the QB. Although head coach Nick Sirianni believes he will participate this Sunday.
The Eagles will return to New York to face the Jets (3-8).

New York Giants (4-7)
The loss to Tampa Bay had made the news about the firing of Jason Garrett. His production as the offensive coordinator in New York was not good at all. But it was only to be expected that the attack didn’t make such a drastic change just yet. What is seen on that side of the ball continues to be inconsistent despite the return of the injured.
Beating a division rival was surely very celebrated. However, all the attention goes to Daniel Jones. In that victory over Philadelphia Jones, he suffered a neck injury that may compromise his season. For now the only thing close to being confirmed is that Mike Glennon would be the starter at least in the next game.
His next challenge will be a trip to Miami to compete with the Dolphins (5-7).
