The NFL playoff picture tightens as the Cowboys and 49ers are eliminated from contention after disappointing seasons
Dallas: The NFL playoff race is heating up, and it’s not looking good for the Cowboys and 49ers. Both teams were officially knocked out of playoff contention this past Sunday.
It’s a tough break for the Cowboys, who were hoping for a miracle after a rough start. They went into their game against the Buccaneers with a 6-8 record. Even though they had a little momentum, winning three of their last four, it just wasn’t enough.
As for the 49ers, they had a rough season too. After making it to the Super Bowl last year, injuries really hit them hard. Star running back Christian McCaffrey only played in four games due to injuries. They ended up losing four of their last five games, which put them at the bottom of the NFC West.
Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens secured their playoff spot with a win over the Steelers, which also kept Pittsburgh from clinching the AFC North. It’s a wild time in the NFL as we head into the final weeks of the season.
So, as we look at the playoff picture, it’s clear that some teams are already making plans for next season while others are still fighting for a chance at the title.
