The Cowboys’ 29-23 home win over the Philadelphia Eagles in overtime gives Dallas three consecutive wins over its division rivals and more importantly, the 2018 regular-season sweep.

Just 10 days ago, Dallas (8-5) snapped the 10-game winning streak of the New Orleans Saints (11-2). Last Sunday, Chicago (9-4) saw its five-game winning streak snapped at the hands of the Giants (5-8) and before Dallas kicked off on Sunday, it saw the Houston Texan’s nine-game streak fall to division rival Indianapolis.

Dallas had taken the Texans to overtime in Week 5, made a bad coaching decision and lost by three. Houston had rolled ever since.

Now, the Cowboys find themselves with the league’s longest winning streak of five games, putting them in a perfect scenario.

Right now, Dallas has better than a 99 percent chance of making the playoffs, according to prediction website Five Thirty Eight. It uses current records and expected future results based on its ELO ratings, measuring team quality.

With three weeks left to go in the season, Dallas finally has playoff-clinching scenarios within its grasp for Week 15.

Scenario No. 1

Win and in

If the Cowboys travel to Indianapolis (7-6) next Sunday and win, they will lock up the NFC East. Plain and simple, that’s the easiest path to the division crown and a home playoff game in January.

Scenario No. 2

Both Philadelphia and Washington lose

The Eagles and Redskins are both 6-7 on the season, but they have not been eliminated. Philadelphia is traveling to Los Angeles to take on the 11-2 Rams, while the Redskins head to Jacksonville to try and end their own four-game losing streak against the Jags (4-9), who are playing like, well, JAGs.

That’s it. Those are the only two ways Dallas clinches a playoff spot in Week 15. If only one NFC East rival loses, Dallas still isn’t locked in.

There’s no scenario that can happen over the next week where Dallas clinches even a wild-card berth, regardless of the outcome of Monday Night Football with the two teams currently in the wild-card slots – Minnesota (6-5-1) taking on Seattle (7-5).

If it doesn’t happen this coming weekend, Dallas will have two more weekends where it can clinch a playoff berth, with other possibilities opening up.
