The Dallas Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Kansas City Chiefs has sent some fans into a frenzy with the playoffs still on the agenda for 2025.
While the Cowboys face a significant challenge to secure a wildcard berth, their recent victories over the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chiefs, bringing their record to 6-5-1, suggest a positive momentum is developing.
It's undeniable that external optimism is rising regarding securing a playoff spot following a rough start to the season, but is head coach Brian Schottenheimer contemplating postseason play after defeating Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid?
"I'm not going to get into all that stuff," Schottenheimer said. "We're just going to keep playing football. We're playing good football. We're riding a three-game winning streak. We need to get to four. I think if you look at things that way, and it makes the process easier, and if we keep winning football games, we'll see what happens at the end."

Cowboys building playoff steam
With three consecutive victories, confidence and belief are growing, and the Cowboys, now holding a 6-5-1 record, are set to visit the Detroit Lions for Their Week 14 matchup.
Win that, and now you have some serious playoff juice.
It's true, that won't be simple, considering the Lions will be battling for a playoff spot following their defeat to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day, but they might have to do so without Amon Ra-St. Brown, who sustained an injury during that game.
The Cowboys have ample cause to consider playoff football at this moment, though not concerning their head coach. They're taking it one week at a time, observing their eventual standing.
