playoffs. it can be washington with something on the line. >> you can think that the dallas cowboys will play it out. the final week, i don't know. but you don't want to go three weeks before you play a football game, especially with a young team like they have. i would think they're going to play very hard on that game on saturday. >> play detroit coming up here. and they'll wrap up by playing the
