13. Dallas Cowboys (13)

Too bad the Dallas Cowboys couldn’t display this kind of performance on offense one week ago when it mattered the most against the Philadelphia Eagles since Jason Garrett‘s squad will officially be watching the playoffs from home.

With the way Dallas looked at times during their 47-16 win over Washington to conclude the regular season that consisted of Dak Prescott tossed four touchdown passes, one would think the Cowboys would be one of the participants in the playoffs.

Instead, Dallas enters their offseason dealing with plenty of frustration, highlighted by trying to figure out what to do with Garrett at head coach.

For months, there’s been plenty of speculation that Garrett would be out of a job if the Cowboys failed to earn a trip to the Super Bowl after allowing another talented team go to complete waste.

Now that Dallas couldn’t even manage to take advantage of a Philadelphia team dealing with all sorts of injuries to win the NFC East, no one would be surprised if Garrett ended up being let go in the next couple of days.

Otherwise, the Cowboys are only going to continue holding themselves back from being a top contender within the NFC, especially after coming up short of the playoffs this year.
