Cowboys' Playoff Chances 2017: Ezekiel Elliot's Return, Schedule Could Get Dallas In
When the Dallas Cowboys fell below .500 in Week 12, a return to the playoffs seemed like a long shot. Last year’s NFC East champions lost the first three games of Ezekiel Elliott’s suspension, quickly falling further out of both the division and wild-card races.
A lot has changed since “America’s Team” was embarrassed in front of the entire country on Thanksgiving. Three straight wins have greatly increased the Cowboys’ playoff chances, and the return of their star running back gives the team a real chance to make a postseason run.
