The Cowboys have already clinched a spot in the playoffs, but need to beat Washington on Sunday to win the NFC East.

The Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, to move Philadelphia and Dallas into a tie for first place in the NFC East.

The Cowboys face a tough road test for the second straight week, traveling to Miami to face the Dolphins on Sunday. Miami has the league's top-rated offense, and a defense that leads the NFL in sacks. Dallas tight end Jake Ferguson says the Cowboys just have to trust their scheme.

The Cowboys found out they'd made the playoffs before their game Sunday against the Bills, special teams star C.J. Goodwin says. He added that Buffalo knew it was likely fighting for its playoff life.

Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn addressed the team's tackling in Sunday's loss to the Bills.

The Cowboys are back in the driver's seat in the NFC East race, at least temporarily, after Phildelphia's 20-17 loss to Seattle on Monday night.

The Cowboys' five-game winning streak came to an end on Sunday in a 31-10 loss to the Bills. Dallas yielded 266 rushing yards in the defeat.

The Dallas Cowboys have won five straight games but face their toughest test in nearly two months when they take on the Bills on the road Sunday afternoon.

The forecast doesn't call for snow on Sunday when the Cowboys visit the Bills, but it could be windy. When conditions make it more difficult to run the ball, the focus shifts to the ground game, and running backs Rico Dowdle and Tony Pollard worked in tandem more on Sunday night than they did in any previous game this season.

Brandon Aubrey, the Cowboys' 28-year-old rookie kicker, connected from 59 and 60 yards on Sunday to extend his record of made field goals to start a career to 30.
