As of now, the Dallas Cowboys have been officially eliminated from playoff contention in the 2024 NFL season. This was confirmed following their performance in Week 16. Despite having a slim chance going into the week, their loss effectively ended their playoff hopes.
Preview
The playoff picture for the 2024 season involves 14 teams, with seven from each conference (AFC and NFC). The four teams that win their respective divisions in each conference earn automatic spots, and the remaining three spots are filled by wild card teams. The Cowboys were unable to secure a division title or a wild card spot, thus missing out on the postseason.
