The Dallas Cowboys might need a miracle.<\/p>\n

\"Dallas<\/p>\n

But as they enter Sunday in Week 15, they’ve still got a chance to make the playoffs. The Cowboys don’t play until Sunday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings, a game they’ll have to win.<\/p>\n

That leaves most of Sunday to track the action around the rest of the NFL and see what might help the Cowboys out.<\/p>\n

Here’s what you should be keeping an eye on.<\/p>\n

What Cowboys need to happen in Week 15<\/h2>\n

The Cowboys could still technically track down the Eagles in the NFC East.<\/p>\n

\"Lions<\/p>\n

For that to happen, it’d have to start with an upset: Dallas would need the\u00a0Raiders to beat the Eagles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frankly, the division is basically the Cowboys’ only chance. Philadelphia enters Week 15 at 8-5, while the Cowboys are 6-6-1.<\/p>\n

To get in via the wild card, they’d need to win out and have the Bears and Lions and 49ers lose the rest of their games. And given that Chicago and Detroit still play again, that makes that extra difficult.<\/p>\n

Cowboys fans might as well say a prayer, too. They need everything they can get.<\/p>\n
