Cowboys Face Wild Card Reality in NFL Playoff Chase
Dallas coach Tom Landry says the Cowboys compete in the wild card division as St. Louis leads the East. With St. Louis 7-2, Minnesota 8-1, and San Francisco 7-1-1, Dallas 5-4 must rely on others for a path to the playoffs and a shot at the Super Bowl. Landry cites offense confidence and a potential spark from a single player as critical. He plans no QB change. Craig Morton starts vs Washington, with Duane Thomas manning the backfield for an injured Calvin Hill.
