The Dallas Cowboys still have an opportunity to beat NFC East by going into the final week of the regular season.

Coming from a 37-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott shared his thoughts with Sports Illustrated about the unusual 2020 NFL season.
“I mean, it’s a little bit weird – but this is a weird year,” Elliott told Sports Illustrated from the Cowboys locker room on Sunday night. “Like, if there was a year, this would be the year.
