A week ago, the Dallas Cowboys looked like the team of destiny in the NFC. But the Buffalo Bills humbled them with a 31-10 win in Week 15.
Things don’t get much easier in Week 16. Dallas will take on another strong AFC East foe in the Miami Dolphins. Miami didn’t miss a beat without Tyreek Hill in Week 15, dropping 30 points on the New York Jets in a shutout. Hill was listed as questionable all week with an ankle injury, but is officially active for the matchup.
Both teams have a lot to play for in Week 16. Dallas is still in a fight for the NFC East and owns the same record as the Philadelphia Eagles (10-4). The Dolphins hold the No. 2 seed in the AFC, but could still surpass the Baltimore Ravens for the top seed and wild-card round bye.
In the other afternoon games of the week, the Chicago Bears will host the Arizona Cardinals and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Bears have won three of their last five games, though they fell by three points last weekend to the Cleveland Browns. The Cardinals lost by 16 points last week to the San Francisco 49ers while Kyler Murray threw a pair of interceptions. That loss dropped them to just 3-11 on the season. The Jaguars have lost three straight, though are still in the running in the AFC South. The Bucs, on the other hand, have won three in a row.
