If the Dallas Cowboys are for real Taco Charlton Jersey , they will win their sixth straight game and clinch the NFC East at Indianapolis on Sunday.If the Colts are for real, they will knock off the Cowboys and stamp themselves as true contenders for the AFC playoffs.With three games remaining, Dallas (8-5) is in control of its division, thanks to a staunch defense and a revived air game with the addition of Amari Cooper. Has any veteran been more worth a first-round draft pick in a midseason trade?“I didn’t know we were going to get all that, honestly,'” says NFL rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott about Cooper, acquired from Oakland. “But when I finally saw him in person, when I saw him catch the ball, I saw him run around and run after the catch, that’s when I really realized he’s truly special.”A Cowboys win does the trick in the NFC East, as would losses by Philadelphia and Washington. Dallas has almost no chance at a first-round playoff bye, though.So what? The Cowboys were 3-5 and sinking and now look where they are.Talking about sinking, Indianapolis was 1-5 two months ago. Then the Colts (7-6) won five straight before that string ended with an awful performance at Jacksonville. So they went to AFC South leader Houston, winner of nine in a row, and won.In his comeback from a 2017 season lost to a shoulder injury, Andrew Luck has been sensational, working behind an offensive line that has gone from sieve to sturdy. Luck has been sacked 16 times, second fewest in the league.Indy is in a four-way tie for the second AFC wild-card slot with Baltimore, Tennessee and Miami.“Most people call this the dash for cash,” Colts tight end Eric Ebron says. “So you just try to win.”Two road teams won Saturday, with Cleveland edging Denver 17-16, and Houston beating the New York Jets 29-22, and.Baker Mayfield’s 2-yard TD toss to Antonio Calloway with just under 12minutes left provided the winning margin for the Browns (6-7-1). They snapped an 11-game losing streak to the Broncos (6-8).Houston’s Deshaun Watson threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins with 2:15 left. The Texans are 10-4, and the Jets 4-10.The weekend began Thursday night with the Los Angeles Chargers‘ 29-28 comeback victory at Kansas City.Philip Rivers led the Chargers to a pair of touchdowns in the final minutes, then hit Mike Williams for the go-ahead 2-point conversion with 4 seconds remaining. The Chargers (11-3) trailed 28-14 before Justin Jackson scored with 3:49 to go.Not only did the Chargers clinch a playoff berth, they forged a first-place tie with the Chiefs (11-3) in the AFC West while ending a nine-game losing streak to their longtime division rivals.New England (9-4) at Pittsburgh (7-5-1)Tampa Bay (5-8) at Baltimore (7-6)The AFC North has become a jumble with Pittsburgh’s slump (three successive defeats) and Baltimore’s resurgence.These matchups don’t bode well for the Steelers, especially if Ben Roethlisberger’s rib and James Conner’s ankle are factors.The Patriots have won the past five meetings. Of course, the 2017 version is unforgettable: Roethlisberger threw an interception in the end zone with 5 seconds remaining after tight end Jesse James‘ apparent go-ahead touchdown with 29 seconds left was overturned on review. Officials ruled the catch did not “survive the ground;” James jostled it after stretching across the goal line.So the league amended the rule in the offseason to allow some movement by the ball if a receiver maintains possession.New England can clinch its 10th straight AFC East title with a win or tie and a Miami loss or tie.Baltimore, meanwhile, will sit the now-healthy Joe Flacco behind first-round pick Lamar Jackson, who has won three of his four starts with Flacco (hip) sidelined. The Ravens‘ ground game has been sensational with the rookie behind center:Jackson has 336 yards rushing over the past four games, the most by any NFL quarterback in his first four starts during the Super Bowl era. Baltimore also is allowing an NFL-low 18.5 points per game.Philadelphia (6-7) at Los Angeles Rams (11-2)New Orleans (11-2) at Carolina (6-7), MondayTop seed in the NFC is what it’s all about for the Saints and Rams, who lost to New Orleans this season.The Rams and Saints each clinch a first-round bye with a win and a Chicago loss or tie, or a tie and a Chicago loss.New Orleans has struggled offensively the past two weeks La'el Collins Color Rush Jersey , but this is a matchup Drew Brees enjoys. The Saints beat the Panthers three times last season, including the playoffs. Brees has completed 76.7 percent of his passes for 2,714 yards with 21 touchdowns and four interceptions in the past 10 NFC South games and has 46 TDs and 20 INTs vs. the Panthers, who have lost their past five overall. But Carolina is 5-1 at home.With the Rams coming off the lowest-scoring performance under Sean McVay, a 15-6 loss to the Bears, they try to avoid falling in consecutive games with McVay in charge. Indeed, he has won at least two straight after all seven of his career defeats.Eagles QB Carson Wentz is battling a back injury. He tore up his knee at LA last year and missed his team’s run to the championship.Tennessee (7-6) at New York Giants (5-8)The other weekend game at MetLife Stadium; notice the neutral end zones.New York once was 1-7, yet has a very long shot at making the playoffs. A retooled offensive line has provided time for Eli Manning to show he isn’t over the hill, and for rookie running back Saquon Barkley to go wild.Tennessee has had at least 400 yards in each of the past two games, and hasn’t managed three straight since Oct. 1-16, 2000. It has allowed the fewest touchdowns in the league this season, 27.Green Bay (5-7-1) at Chicago (9-4)Miami (7-6) at Minnesota (6-6-1)Chicago’s last-to-first climb in the NFC North could be finalized against its biggest rival. A win over Green Bay, which leads the NFL’s longest series 97-94-6, gets it done. So does a Minnesota loss or tie.The Bears lead the NFL in turnover differential (plus 13) and interceptions (25).Green Bay, under interim coach Joe Philbin, must win out for any chance to play in January. The Packers have won eight in a row at Soldier Field and nine of the past 10 meetings overall. But with a win, Chicago would finish 7-1 at home for the first time since 2005.Miami’s stunning “Drake Escape” victory against New England kept it viable in the AFC playoff chase. The Dolphins are second in the NFL with 19 interceptions and tied for third with 25 takeaways.Minnesota was overwhelmed last Monday night at Seattle, and fired offensive coordinator John DeFilippo. In their past three losses, all on the road, the Vikings have averaged just 274 yards and 12 points per game. But they’re at home and the Dolphins are 0-5 on the road since beating the Jets in Week 2.Seattle (8-5) at San Francisco (3-10)Surging Seattle has won four straight and its defeats are to opponents who are a combined 36-16, with two of losses to the 11-2 Rams. The Seahawks have the league’s top rushing team and have become as stingy as anybody on defense despite being in a rebuild.A win gets them into the postseason, and they have won 10 straight in this NFC West rivalry, starting with the conference title game in January 2014. Linebacker Bobby Wagner , making a hefty statement for NFL Defensive Player of the Year, seeks his eighth straight game with at least eight tackles. Wagner had 12 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, two passes defensed and a 98-yard interception return for a TD in the Week 13 win over San Francisco.Detroit (5-8) at Buffalo (4-9)Don’t look for much scoring here.With 3,187 yards passing, Detroit QB Matthew Stafford is in jeopardy of ending his seven-season streak of topping 4,000 yards. His counterpart, first-round pick Josh Allen, has a combined 335 yards rushing in the past three games. He’s the second NFL QB to top 90 yards rushing in three consecutive games, joining Green Bay’s Tobin Rote in 1951.Arizona (3-10) at Atlanta (4-9)Atlanta might do some scoring here, while Arizona ranks at the bottom in most offensive categories. Its pitiful 178 points are 23 lower than the next-worst team Robert Newhouse Jersey , Buffalo. The Cardinals started five rookies on offense last week.After being held without a TD catch in the first seven games, Atlanta WR Julio Jones has five in the past six games. Jones leads the NFL with 1,429 yards receiving and has topped 100 yards in nine games.Oakland (3-10) at Cincinnati (5-8)Banged-up Cincinnati has been in freefall, dropping five in a row and seven of eight. This is its final home game. The Bengals have averaged 51,673, the second-smallest attendance since Paul Brown Stadium opened in 2000. They’re 3-4 at home.The Raiders fired GM Reggie McKenzie on Monday, one day after a stunning upset of Pittsburgh.Washington (6-7) at Jacksonville (4-9)What does a team do when its top two QBs have broken legs and the third guy has a broken career? In Washington’s case, it turns to someone who hasn’t started since 2011, is 0-5 in the NFL and recently had a contract with the startup Alliance of American Football, Josh Johnson.Redskins RB Adrian Peterson needs 112 yards rushing to pass Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson (13,259) for eighth most in NFL history. The Dallas Cowboys are on a five-game winning streak, and have all but sewn up the NFC East crown (they just need one more win or a loss by both Philadelphia and Washington to clinch). They are the hottest team in the NFL, with a defense that has already taken down the vaunted New Orleans Saints, and an offense that exploded in the fourth quarter and overtime of the latest win over the Eagles. Things are great.Well, not everything, at least if you pay attention to social media and many who write about the Cowboys. There are still cries to replace offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, who many believe is holding the team back. One of the latest arguments comes from Patrik (No C) Walker of 247 Sports. He cites the change to Linehan’s call that Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper made on the 75 yard touchdown pass that was instrumental in the win.The complaint about Linehan has long been his conservative play calling and lack of innovation. One specific complaint is how he kept having all the receivers go to the sticks and basically stop their routes, rather than keep going for a bigger potential gain. Cooper and Prescott went against that, and it turned out to be the right move.So many feel that Linehan is still on the hot seat after this season, no matter how it turns out. They want a more innovative, daring play-caller. And now there is a favorite target on the market in John DeFilippo, whose name has often come up as a potential replacement for Linehan, or even head coach Jason Garrett.Garrett has quieted the calls for him to go as he has been credited by many for leading and inspiring the team to bring the season back from the brink of the 3-5 start. But the grumbling about Linehan continues unabated. However, there is one little flaw in looking at DeFilippo as a potential replacement. He is available because he was just fired by the Minnesota Vikings after they put themselves in a precarious position by losing to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night. They still cling to the sixth seed and a wild card spot by just a half a game as a result. There is an argument that the issue in Minnesota was really putting their faith in Kirk Cousins, plus some real issues protecting him when he dropped back to pass. Cousins is on a fully-guaranteed $84 million contract, so he could not take the hit. DeFilippo has apparently angered his head coach, Mike Zimmer, because he didn’t run the ball enough. If that is accurate, and a real part of his failure, then he would hardly seem a good fit for the Cowboys and their offense. Dallas is built around the running of Ezekiel Elliott.If you can throw out the emotions, there are some real reasons why keeping Linehan may not be such a bad idea after all, especially if the Cowboys can finally find some playoff success. He has been the OC for a team that has won the division in three of the past five seasons. If not for running into Aaron Rodgers in both 2014 and 2016, Dallas might have already quelled the discontent over quick exits from the postseason. Now, at least, they shouldn’t have to worry about Aaron freaking Rodgers as the Green Bay Packers are pretty much dead in the water for the playoffs.And Daryl Johnston Color Rush Jersey , as our own David Halprin has often pointed out, Linehan was the architect of the phenomenal rookie regular seasons of Dak and Zeke. He obviously knows something.But, those who decry him insist, it took a change at the line to get that beautiful 75-yard touchdown.However, there is something else that play illustrates. A couple of things, actually. First, it is just one more piece of evidence how important the Cooper trade was for Dallas. He is proving to be a legitimate WR1, with confidence, talent, and skill. And he has already developed superb chemistry with his quarterback that lets the latter have faith in making that kind of call. The second thing is the growth of Prescott. We too often forget that he is just in his third season playing the most difficult and crucial position for the most scrutinized and controversial franchise in the NFL. Even a few games earlier in the season, he would not likely have had the confidence in himself and his receiver to make that kind of decision. Now, he does. And he was definitely feeling it in the superb performance he put on after having made so many crucial mistakes earlier in the game.This all hearkens back to the arguments earlier this year about whether the offensive woes were more about coaching or execution. There is a theory that Linehan’s system really depends on having top-level talent to work. He has that in Elliott, and now he has a second crucial piece in Cooper. With those in place, things just work better. Prescott showed during the final quarter and overtime against the Eagles that he can also step up and deliver that kind of play.Simply put, Linehan may now have exactly what he needs to thrive, especially if Prescott continues to make the occasional on-field adjustment as the need arises. That, after all, was a strength of one Tony Romo. Now, it may be a shiny new tool in Dak’s kit. There is also the fact that Linehan knows his head coach (and owner), his players, and the system. One mistake many make in calling for change is to assume that new equals better. It doesn’t always. It may actually be worse more often than not. A real evaluation of whether Linehan is the right man for the job will not come until the last game for the Cowboys, hopefully late in January - or even later. And it will be made by Jerry and Stephen Jones, plus Jason Garrett, not Cowboys Twitter or the media that covers them. Things could still go off the rails, but at the moment, the signs are all pointing up. So if you are a staunch member of the “fire Linehan” club, you may want to brace yourself. Nothing cures ills like winning, and for five weeks now, that is all the Cowboys have done. The credit belongs to the team, but certainly has to include Linehan for his part. If this team does give us a happy new year, there may simply be no real justification for parting ways with the offensive coordinator that got us there.
