They have to win and Carolina or Washington has to lose (I think)

OK, from CBS Sportsline...

DALLAS can clinch a playoff berth with:

EITHER a win and
EITHER a Washington loss or tie
OR a Carolina loss
OR a Tampa Bay loss and a N.Y. Giants loss
and the N.Y. Giants and Dallas clinch a strength of victory tiebreaker over Tampa Bay
OR a tie and Washington loss

____________________________________

Now, the Giants won, so that eliminates everything below "Tampa Bay loss..." (Tampa is in with Giants winning)

SO

Dallas has to win and Washington has to lose or tie, or Carolina has to lose.

Not the best odds, but you got a shot!

Also, a Dallas win and a Washington tie gets Dallas in the playoffs...
