The Washington Commanders (7-4) host the Dallas Cowboys (3-7) in a battle of NFC East rivals heading in opposite directions. The game features a reunion of sorts for several Commanders going up against their former team.

If this is the end and you’re Mike McCarthy, what do you want it to look like? I think those grim thoughts explain why he became more impassioned late Monday after another disheartening one-sided loss at home as he spoke about winning,

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is focused on his own team, despite the recent release of New York Giants' quarterback Daniel Jones, which has attracted significant attention around the league.

They also brought in veteran Will Grier to be their third, emergency quarterback, but Dallas, along with the NFL's 31 other teams, has a shot to add a six-year NFL veteran with plenty of starting experience in quarterback Daniel Jones.

Dan Quinn spent three years as the defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys. He rejuvenated his career with America’s Team before leaving to coach the Washington Commanders. In Week 12, they play one another for the first time with Quinn in his new role.

The Cowboys are now 3-7 following the Monday night blowout loss at the hands of the Houston Texans. They are tied for 14th in the 16-team NFC, with only the 2-8 New York Giants below them. A seven-game winning streak to close out the 2024 season could, technically, rescue their playoff hopes, but that is a pretty big pipe dream.
