NFL playoffs: What happens if the Cowboysbeat the Buccaneersin the Wild Card round?
If the Cowboysbeat the Buccaneersin the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs, Tampa Bayand Tom Brady will be officially eliminated. Then, as the No.5seed in the NFC, Dallaswould advance to the Divisional round and their next game will be also on the road.
If Dallas indeed get a win over Tampa, the Cowboys would face the 49ers at San Francisco. There’s no other scenario for Dallas in the Divisional round and it would be another chapter in one of the greatest rivalries in the NFL.
It’s important to remember that there’s no scenario in which the Cowboys could host a game in the Divisional round. Nevertheless, after the Giants beat the Vikings, if the Eagles and 49ers are eliminated next week, Dallas could host the NFC Championship Game. New York are the only chance for that to happen for the Cowboys.
