Cowboys vs Bills preview

The Cowboys are capable of winning big games! They've taken the lead in the NFC East and are the No.2 seed in the conference, but can't afford to get too carried away yet. Their run-in is one of the toughest in the NFL. It begins with a clash at Highmark Stadium today, against a Bills team coming off a statement victory of their own.

The Buffalo defense came up with some big stops last weekend and the team clung on for a precious victory over the Chiefs that keeps their slim postseason hopes just about alive. But Sean McDermott's men know that they still might have to win out to stand a chance of hauling themselves into the playoff picture.

They're at the bottom of a six-way tie with the Steelers, Colts, Texans, Broncos and Bengals for the last two spots in the AFC, and both Denver and Cincinnati hold the head-to-head tiebreakers over them.

The Cowboys are on a superb run of seven victories from eight, the latest a brutal beatdown of the previously high-flying Eagles that's done wonders for both Dak Prescott's MVP and Dallas' Super Bowl credentials. However, only two of those games were on the road, and Mike McCarthy's men are 3-3 away from the AT&T this season.

On their day the Bills can beat anyone, but there's no telling which version will show up on any given Sunday. Follow our guide on how to watch Cowboys vs Bills wherever you are and live stream NFL games all season.
