With a 4-9 record, Dallas remains in the fight for NFC East after the loss of the New York Giants, which in combination with two divisional games to play, keeps them with a chance of having a playoff game at home to even though they will end the season with a losing record.
Prior to the game, the Cowboys were in a situation in which a loss would place them within the top-3 in the order of the 2021 NFL Draft, however the victory now not only takes them out of the top-5 but is waiting for the results of this After the Philadelphia and Washington games, the Cowboys could even finish the day first in the division.
Dallas can still win the NFC East by doing nothing more than winning today and beating other NFC East teams.

It will be interesting to see what this team achieves in their last three meetings when they face the 49ers, then the Eagles (both at home) and finally close out the road season against the Giants.
This victory makes the team improve not only in their record but also mentally and emotionally, since their defense looked much better than in any other game of the season by allowing only 7 points in the entire game and barely exceeding 300 total yards allowed.
The problem is that this can be misleading, as we can’t forget that they faced an opponent like the Bengals with their backup QB – Brandon Allen – and a flawed offensive line. In addition, their own players insisted on making things more difficult for them by recording three fumbles in the first three possessions of the game. Which resulted in 17 points against.
With this victory, Andy Dalton was successful in his return to Paul Brown Stadium by achieving victory and a personal stat line that looks low-key but efficient with 16 of 23 completions for 185 yards and two touchdowns.
