Playoff Hopes Crushed: Cowboys Lose to Vikings — Now What?

THE CRU reacts LIVE to a crushing 34-26 defeat at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings that has all but ended the Dallas Cowboys’ chances of making the playoffs this season. After back-to-back losses and a slippery playoff picture, the season hangs on a thread — if it’s even alive at all. We break down: • Where things went wrong on both sides of the ball • What this loss means for Dak Prescott, the offense, and the defense • How special teams miscues and red-zone struggles cost the Cowboys late chances • The bleak playoff math and why Dallas might be watching from home • Why this season still matters and what Dallas MUST fix Plus we give emotional fan reactions, playoff scenarios (if any remain), and a brutal look ahead into the final games. THIS ISN’T OVER UNTIL IT’S OVER — but it’s definitely on life support.
