At the Lions is going to be the toughest game left. They can run the table.\u201d<br>That includes remaining games against the Lions, the Minnesota Vikings, Los Angeles Chargers, Washington Commanders, and the New York Giants. Romo\u2019s confidence isn\u2019t idle \u2014 in the past two weeks, Dallas has knocked off both last season\u2019s Super Bowl champ and runner-up. That alone would be a remarkable feat. Now, with momentum building and a surging defense, some believe this Cowboys team is playing its best football at exactly the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why It Matters \u2014 and What\u2019s Next<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Momentum &amp; Confidence:<\/strong> After starting the season slowly, Dallas now has belief. Winning three straight games, especially over strong teams like the Eagles and the Chiefs, can greatly improve the confidence of the locker room.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balanced Team:<\/strong> The offense is producing well. Prescott, Lamb, Pickens and the running backs are all contributing. The defense also played strongly when it mattered. Players like Quinnen Williams helped the team stay in control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Playoff Implications:<\/strong> With six games left, going 5\u20131 or even 6\u20130 can push Dallas into serious postseason contention. This could also give them a chance at winning the division, depending on how the other NFC East teams perform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, nothing is guaranteed. Their next test is on the road against Detroit, and it is a very important game. The Lions remain dangerous when they are healthy, and even the best teams can stumble under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wisdomimbibe.com\/nfl\/lamar-jackson-shines-in-comeback-win-vs-dolphins\/\">Lamar Jackson Shines in Comeback Win vs. Dolphins<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wisdomimbibe.com\/nfl\/nfl-announces-major-news-on-giants-qb-jaxson-dart\/\">NFL Announces Major News on Giants QB Jaxson Dart<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wisdomimbibe.com\/nfl\/a-major-twist-in-the-pittsburgh-steelers-quarterback-future-staying-the-course-with-aaron-rodgers\/\">A Major Twist in the Pittsburgh Steelers\u2019 Quarterback Future: Staying the Course with Aaron\u202fRodgers?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wisdomimbibe.com\/nfl\/why-is-the-nfl-punishing-chiefs-qb-patrick-mahomes-and-what-final-decision-nfl-makes-on-him\/\">Why is the NFL punishing Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and What final decision NFL Makes on him?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wisdomimbibe.com\/nfl\/jason-kelce-sets-the-record-straight-amid-fake-quote-storm\/\">Jason Kelce Sets the Record Straight Amid Fake Quote Storm<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wisdomimbibe.com\/nfl\/a-major-twist-in-the-pittsburgh-steelers-quarterback-future-staying-the-course-with-aaron-rodgers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dak Prescott-led Dallas Cowboys stunned the NFL world on Thanksgiving Day, edging out the Kansas City Chiefs 31\u201328 in a drama-filled showdown at AT&amp;T Stadium.
