In a stunning turn of events during Week 16 of the NFL season, both the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers have been officially eliminated from playoff contention. The Cowboys fell to the Arizona Cardinals with a disappointing 28-17 loss at AT&T Stadium, marking the first time since 2018 that they will miss out on the postseason. Following closely, the 49ers were defeated by the Los Angeles Rams in a 23-20 nail-biter, sealing their fate along with the Cowboys. The Cowboys ended their season with a 5-11 record, while the 49ers finished at 6-10. Cowboy’s head coach Mike McCarthy stated, ‘We fought hard this year but the results just didn’t come our way. It’s painful for the players who worked so hard.’ Meanwhile, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan commented, ‘The team showed tremendous resilience this season but unfortunately fell short of our goals.’ With this news, eyes now turn to the 2021 draft order, where both teams will have early picks in a crucial offseason for rebuilding.
