The Cowboys would be the seventh team to make the playoffs with two losing streaks of at least three games should they qualify. The 2016 Lions are the most recent and they lost in the wild-card round. The 2011 Broncos and 2009 Jets are the only teams to have won a playoff game with two three-game losing streaks.
Dak Prescott described the mood in the Cowboys locker room after Thursday's loss that leaves them at 6-7: "Frustrating, I think that's the best word for it. It's a blessing, fortunate enough, I don't know how it is, we're still in the lead for our division. You have to be thankful for that. But we can't hang our hat on that. We have got to figure out our issues right now, fix them, and get better."
A displeased Jerry Jones addressed the media after Thursday's 31-24 loss to Chicago and he made it clear he doesn't care if the Cowboys finish 7-9 or 8-8 and make the postseason. “Are you asking me if I would take the division and go to the playoffs, if we got in on any basis? The answer is yes. Absolutely yes,” Jones said. “Acceptable? I don't know. Not if we're not playing good but if we're playing a lot better than we played tonight, I'll take getting in.”
Jason Garrett said he can't speak to whether the constant questioning of his job security is weighing on the players, but he believes they are still buying in. “I just see how they come to work every day,” Garrett said. “I see how they practice and unfortunately we didn't carry the practice work to the game.” Nor did Garrett see any players quit. “I don't believe that,” he said.
