Dallas won their final two games of the regular season to win the NFC East title with a 12-5 record.
The Cowboys underwhelmed through the first several weeks, but a five-game win streak between mid-November and early December kick-started their season.
They beat the New York Giants 49-17 at home, and then followed up a 33-10 victory in Carolina with home wins over Washington, 45-10, Seattle, 41-35, and Philadelphia, 33-13.
Dallas failed to keep that run going on the road though, as they were beaten 31-10 in Buffalo and 22-20 at Miami.
The Cowboys bounced back over the final two weeks though, clinching the NFC East with a 20-19 victory over Detroit and a 38-10 success at Washington.
