There are just three weeks left in the 2025 NFL season, and the Dallas Cowboys have nothing outside of pride to play for. With the Philadelphia Eagles defeating the Washington Commanders on Sunday, Dallas is officially out of the NFC playoff race.

They knew entering the week their chances were slim, so this news isn't exactly unexpected. It's also not going to change their approach, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer and Dak Prescott.
