Once again the NFL has done it.  Or should I say, the Dallas Cowboys have done it.  With the New York Giants loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Sunday Night Football game for week 17 will be the Dallas Cowboys at the Washington Redskins for the NFC East crown. This will be the second year in a row in which the Dallas Cowboys will be playing for their playoff lives in prime time.  Last year’s week 17 finale against the New York Giants was one of the most watched regular season games in NFL history.
