TIDBIT: IRVING, Texas -- Before kickoff against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday night, the Dallas Cowboys will know whether they are playing for a playoff spot or merely the pride of finishing 10-6 a year after going 6-10.

The Cowboys insist they'll give their best effort regardless of what's at stake.The bigger challenge? Enduring the hours leading up to it, when other games will determine Dallas' playoff chances.

Carolina or Washington must lose to keep open one of the wild cards. The Panthers play an early afternoon game against Atlanta, then the Redskins play Philadelphia in a 4:15 p.m. EST start.
