🏈Cowboys: The Cowboys kept their playoff hopes alive until the final moments, but sadly, a new year did not give us a new Andy Dalton. With just over a minute remaining in the game, Dalton threw his seventh interception of the season. The pass was picked off in the endzone, securing a 23–19 win for the New York Giants. Womp womp.

The good news is that Pro Bowl QB Dak Prescott reportedly intends to stick with the team heading into next season. Prescott suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 5, but will be ready to go for 2021.

And the ’Boys already locked in a key member of the offense prior to the end of the regular season, signing a multi-year contract extension with offensive coordinator Kellen Moore on Saturday. Here’s how we’re feeling about next year, Cowboys Nation.

🏀Mavericks: The Mavs couldn’t lift our spirits on the hardwood, suffering a 118–108 loss to the Chicago Bulls last night. They’ll look to right the ship against a potentially James Harden-less Houston Rockets squad tonight at 8 p.m. ET.
