Whew, glad they didn't get those extra 2 points

I dont get that. 35-27 - You could have kicked the 1, and been a TD and 1 to tie or TD and 2 to go ahead. Why go for the 2 now? Now you have no options but to go for 2 if you can score a TD

That's Detroit. They aren't going to win.

Analytics apparently say if you go for 2 there and get it a TD wins and if you dont get it you get another chance to tie with a TD. Not saying I buy it but that is the logic.

Ok well I may have to revise my last statement

I would have to see the data. But you also pysch out your own players with the failure to convert. One of the things numbers dont tell you

Yes that's me I'm afraid. Lol

So true. The pressure. It won't matter now unless perhaps we turn the ball over.

That was good Jarwin

Eagles going to lose today! Lolol

I would guess that was a Kellen Moore call on the pass to Jarwin. They could have run the clock down, punted and given the ball to Lions with 15 seconds left. An incomplete would have stopped the clock with quite a bit more time left

Nope, all riverboat gambling Garrett

Kellen Moore doesn't think like you Assassin.

Cowboy locker room access next!

Ok that was not as inspiring as I thought it might be. Garrett is so blah. Not exciting.

Eagles are up on NE. Crap

On that monster 41 yd catch #Cowboys WR Michael Gallup had 3rd and 9 to set up the Zeke TD...Gallup tells me "Honestly, I ran the wrong route." Goes on to say "I made a great effort to catch the ball because I ran the wrong route and I wasn't about to hear it on the sidelines. "

2 pt tries are something like 48.5% successful, or an expected score of .97 points.

Since they've moved the XP back, tries are somewhere near 94.5% successful. So the math says you will end up .025 points better over time by going for the 2.

So basically its just shy of a wash. 2 points just under half the time or 1 point nearly all the time

What does Mathematics say about a team going for 2 without its starting QB and a RB who was just picked up off waivers? Is it still better?

Editor's note: This story will be updated each week throughout the regular season. Last update: Monday, Nov. 18.

At 6-4, the Cowboys' path to the postseason appears to be winning the NFC East, which has become a two-team race between Dallas and Philadelphia. As of Monday morning, after the Cowboys' win over the Lions and the Eagles loss to the Patriots, the The New York Times' NFL playoff prediction model gives Dallas a 65% chance of winning the division and Philadelphia a 35% chance. Here's a breakdown of the division race:

NFC playoff picture
The NYT playoff model gives the Cowboys a 66% overall chance of making the postseason. A look at the current projected NFC playoff seeding:
First-round bye
1. San Francisco (9-1, NFC West champion)
2. Green Bay (8-2, NFC North champion)
Wild-card round
6. Minnesota (8-3, wild card) at 3. New Orleans (8-2, NFC South champion)
5. Seattle (8-2, wild card) at 4. Dallas (6-4, NFC East champion)
In the hunt
7. LA Rams (6-4)
8. Philadelphia (5-5)
9. Carolina (5-5)

In 3 games with the Cowboys, Michael Bennett has 3 sacks, 7 QB hits and 12 QB pressures. Robert Quinn on Bennett: "They brought him in here to be an effective player and he's been dominant since he's been here. He just makes plays when it matters."

The New England Patriots have activated left tackle Isaiah Wynn to their 53-man roster, a source told ESPN's Field Yates.

Wynn is set to return for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, adds Yates. He was placed on the injured reserve after suffering a foot injury during Week 2.

The Patriots have played Marshall Newhouse at left tackle during Wynn's absence. The veteran has struggled to protect Tom Brady, giving up six sacks and 15 pressures in nine games, according to PFF.

Wynn is New England's second and final player to be activated off IR following the return of rookie wide receiver N'Keal Harry.

A first-round pick in 2018, Wynn also missed all of his rookie campaign after suffering a torn Achilles in the preseason.

Cowboys worked out a pair of free-agent offensive linemen today: C Marcus Henry and OT Storm Norton. Henry is expected to join practice squad, source said. Not official yet, but signing should be finalized before Wednesday's practice. Another Boise State product in Dallas.

Most wins by a starting QB since 2016:

1.) Tom Brady: 44
2.) Dak Prescott: 38
2.) Russell Wilson: 38

Really Jerry! Omg!

In his defense, ol bellicheat didn't accomplish much in Cleveland. Didn't have enough cameras yet.

I had forgotten that he wasn't a hit in Cleveland.
