Cowboys edge Saints as they chase playoff return at Cowboys Stadium
Irving reports Cowboys two wins from hosting a playoff game at the new 12 billion stadium while two losses could prolong a playoff drought. Wade Phillips praised improvements but noted work remains after a 24 17 win over New Orleans. Roy Williams dropped a key pass, Nick Folk missed a late field goal, and DeMarcus Ware’s health is reassessed. The team, 9 5, eyes a Sunday visit to Washington and a likely NFC East decider with Philadelphia.
