Summary

A fourth and 8. A season on the line. A star wide receiver sitting on the bench. Assuming the Eagles beat the Giants next week, that's where the 2019 Dallas Cowboys season ended and as all signs seem to indicate, the Jason Garrett era in Big D as well. Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson open their Week 16 recap with the headline coming out of the NFC "least": the Cowboys all but kissing their playoff hopes goodbye with a loss in Philly. There was plenty of finger pointing after the show, but as our experts indicate, getting rid of Jason Garrett won't be the end to the Cowboys' woes. Terez & Charles recap all of the Week 16 games including Michael Thomas' brilliant and record-breaking performance in Tennessee (10:20), the Seahawks' surprising loss at home to the Cardinals (13:55), why the Cleveland Browns aren't ruling out a coaching change (22:00) and the surprisingly high-octane performances from the Bengals, Dolphins, Giants and Washington.

0:15.9	night freestyle and I am Senior NFL writer Torez Paler, here my main man, a fellow
0:21.1	senior NFL writer Charles Robinson and Charles. One of the chances the real
0:25.9	Philly special is that you go to Philly, you lose heart-breaking fashion, season basically comes to an end and then you get stuck at the airport just to stewing it
0:38.8	It's pretty special for Philly fans. I could tell you that
0:42.4	I don't think they're feeling pretty special right now. I would not doubt if on the way out the Cowboys,
0:47.6	there's a Philly Eagles mechanic on the team plane who says, eh, wrench in an engine.
0:54.6	Yeah, beat it.
0:56.6	Yeah, look at these guys stuck here for a while.
0:58.6	That is, by the way, it's funny because Jane Slater actually tweeted, oh, update, the plane is fixed.
1:06.0	And I'm like, yeah, this is not really good.
1:09.0	That's not my favorite thing to hear, like, hey, get ready for your flight, the plane is fixed.
1:13.3	Like great.
1:14.8	Yeah.
1:15.8	Dude, I get a little shaky when I hear the plane is being deiced.
1:18.7	I'm like, yeah, not a big fan of that.
1:21.7	By the way, there's a history of teams playing the Eagles in Philly and then being left to Stuart the airport.
1:28.0	The 2002 bucks winning a Philly shut down the vet in the NFC championship game and then on their flight back home
1:35.8	Yeah got stuck at the airport waiting for them to do something that's the first thing that came to my mind and
1:45.9	Actually it was to say in similar fashion unlike those bucks the Cowboys came away losers and basically a winner-take-all game in the
