Prior to a couple weeks ago, Sunday’s showdown between the Washington Football Team and Dallas Cowboys seemed meaningless. Apart from the juiciness of an age-old rivalry, the two NFC East foes seemed to be going in different directions.

However, both Washington and the Cowboys have gone in different directions over the last month. Now, just two games separate the teams in the standings. Adding to the drama, both squads face-off against each-other twice in December.

As you can tell, the NFC East could begin to be decided on Sunday. A Cowboys victory would give them a huge leg up over Washington, while a victory for the Football Team would bring Dallas within striking distance.

Washington is on a tremendous winning streak at the moment. After shocking Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ron Rivera’s squad has defeated the Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders.

On the other hand, the Cowboys have been stuck in their own inconsistencies. After dismantling the Atlanta Falcons, they were handled soundly by the Kansas City Chiefs. Afterwards, the Las Vegas Raiders ruined Thanksgiving — spoiling Jerry Jones’ Turkey Day. However, they may have turned a corner — taking care of business against the New Orleans Saints.

Two defensive stars could return for the Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy had good news to deliver on injured defensive linemen Randy Gregory and Neville Gallimore. McCarthy revealed that both banged up Cowboys will practice on Wednesday, in hopes that they might be available on Sunday.

“Would be great if both of those guys could go Sunday,” McCarthy added.

Randy Gregory had COVID-19 earlier in the year and he’s missed the last four games on injured reserve due to a calf injury. Gregory has five sacks on the year despite appearing in just as many games this year.

Neville Gallimore has been dealing with an elbow injury all season long but could make his debut this weekend versus the WFT. Last year, he posted 28 tackles, a half-sack and four tackles for loss. The former Oklahoma Sooner is in his second season with the Cowboys.
