The expectations were high for the Dallas Cowboys heading into the 2019 season. Instead, they ended up posting a disappointing 8-8 record and narrowly lost the NFC East crown to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Despite all their issues, there was an opportunity for the Cowboys to win the NFC East title when they faced off with the Eagles in late December. They fell short in this matchup losing with 17-9 being the final score, causing them to lose the ability to control their own destiny for a playoff spot.
