1) All teams have "control of their destiny" at the start of the season. And yet, only a few make the playoffs... And each of those playoff and non-playoff teams have lost at least a couple of games they should not have, judging by the rest of their record. Some of the only exceptions are the Steelers with their 15-1 team, and us with our 16-0.

I think we can see that just because there's a way for a team to "guarantee" playoffs if they win every game, doesn't mean there's a way for them to "guarantee" actually winning each of those games.

All the Cowboys have to do is win. If they win the next three games, they are GUARANTEED a spot in the playoffs. It doesn't matter what any other team does. The Cowboys hold the key to their future in their own hands. They control their destiny. Win and they're in. They don't need help, they can do it themselves.
