ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.: The Dallas Cowboys clinched a playoff berth — their third straight — earlier than they even kicked off in opposition to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

The Cowboys’ clinching state of affairs got here right down to Green Bay and Atlanta shedding earlier within the day, coupled with the Detroit Lions’ 42-17 win over Denver on Saturday.

The Cowboys (10-3) are actually taking part in for seeding place, with an opportunity win the NFC East and first place general within the NFC.

Dallas entered the weekend tied with NFC East rival Philadelphia in addition to the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners have the tiebreakers in having overwhelmed each Dallas and Philadelphia already this season. The tiebreaker between Dallas and Philadelphia may come right down to the groups’ general division or convention information.

The Cowboys’ three-season playoff run is their longest since a six-yr run spanning the 1991-96 seasons.
