About a week ago, I was confident Dallas could take care of Tennessee and enable us to catch the Tacks by week 18.

But given that we beat Dallas, the dynamic may have changed considerably.

Having lost to us, thereby losing a game to the Eagles, there is almost no chance for them to catch the Eagles and win their division, even if they beat Philly this weekend.  Furthermore, they are far enough ahead of the bottom two wild card teams they likely can't/won't be caught.  Being pretty much locked into the 5th seed, there arguably isn't much outward incentive for which to play.  They could end up using those last two weeks to get healthy for the playoffs.  If so, Tennessee's chances of winning that game improves.

To avoid all of that, we've got to win on Thursday.
