Jerry Jones has watched his Dallas Cowboys lose their playoff opener twice as the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

The toughest decisions in Week 18 for San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan will come well before the game when he decides whether any of his star players will get the week off to rest up for the postseason.
