The first day of the 2019 NFL Playoffs is now in the books and we have at least an idea of who’ll be playing in the divisional round. After the wild-card action got underway with two games, one from each conference, the playoff picture became more clear. We have the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys to thank for this, as both picked up wins to survive and advance.
While the Colts pulled off a somewhat surprising win over the Houston Texans, the Cowboys earned a hard-fought victory against a strong Seattle Seahawks team. Russell Wilson and company certainly didn’t make it easy, but Dallas has managed to get the job done and picked up a 24-22 win to advance to the divisional round.
Let’s take a look at the latest on the playoff schedule moving forward for the Cowboys, as well as when their next game could be.
Cowboys Will Face Rams Next
UPDATE: Due to the Philadelphia Eagles defeating the Chicago Bears, the Cowboys will face the No. 2 seed Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round. The game information listed below for date and time remains accurate.
With the Cowboys entering the postseason as the No. 4 seed in the NFC, it leaves them in wait-and-see mode entering Sunday’s action. Due to the NFL playoffs having a reseeding structure to their playoff format, the lowest remaining seed would immediately face the No. 1 seed in the conference.
In turn, this means that if the No. 3 seed Chicago Bears knock off the No. 6 Philadelphia Eagles, then Dallas would head to New Orleans to face the Saints, who own the top seed. This would set up a rematch of the Week 10 game between the Cowboys and Saints which Dallas won 13-10 on Thursday Night Football at home.
On the other hand, if the Eagles upset the Bears, then the Cowboys would be headed to California to take on the No. 2 Los Angeles Rams.
Cowboys Divisional Round Potential Dates & Times
Since we now know who the Cowboys play in the divisional round, the date and time of their next matchup are set. As NFL.com shows, with Dallas drawing the Rams, the game will be on Saturday, January 12 at 8:15 p.m. EST.
The Bears were big favorites over the Eagles, so it was expected that the Cowboys would wind up with a rematch against the Saints, making this a surprising outcome. The Rams’ 13-3 record tied for the second best in the NFL this season, and if not for losing a tiebreaker to New Orleans, they would have been the No. 1 overall seed.
