The Cowboys are set for a prime-time home matchup Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings with Dallas still clinching to playoff hopes.

Despite missing the playoffs for a second straight year, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is maintaining his confidence in the team's chances to bounce back quickly.

The NFL season continues Week 17 when the Washington Commanders host the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Day. Start time, how to watch, stream and TV schedule.

The Cowboys visit the Commanders on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, for a Week 17 football game that streams on Netflix. For the second year in a row, Netflix is the home to the NFL on Christmas Day, broadcasting the Cowboys vs. Commanders at 1 p.m. ET and the Lions vs. Vikings at 4:30 p.m. ET.

The Dallas Cowboys need to improve their defense next season, which is the focus of a new 2026 NFL mock draft.

In a recent article published by ESPN, Vikings safety Paul Krause, 83, noted divine intervention had nothing to do with the Hail Mary, saying, “They just pushed off and they won the game.” He added that it still makes his blood boil 50 years later, even if some of his former teammates have decided to let bygones be bygones.

The Cowboys made the key plays to beat the Washington Commanders in Week 17, going 6-of-6 on fourth down tries.

Diggs logged one solo tackle in the game to help his team to victory. However, it was Dak Prescott who led the way for the Cowboys with 19-of-37 completed passes for 307 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
