Who will Cowboys host in the wild card playoff next week, and when?
The Dallas Cowboys will host the Seattle Seahawks in a wild card game at AT&T Stadium at 7:15 p.m. Saturday.
The game will air on KDFW/Ch. 4.
The Cowboys (10-6) won their regular-season finale, 36-35, over the New York Giants (5-11) at MetLife Stadium Sunday afternoon in dramatic fashion. The win, though, had no bearing on Dallas’ playoff status.
The Seahawks (10-6) beat the Cardinals on Sunday and have the best record of the two wild card teams. The Philadelphia Eagles (9-7) beat the Redskins to claim the last NFC playoff spot. The NFC Central champion Bears (12-4) will host the Eagles on Sunday.
The Cowboys lost to the Seahawks 24-13 in Week 3. Dak Prescott was sacked five times and threw two interceptions in the game. Seattle also beat the Cowboys 21-12 on Christmas Eve in 2017 and at AT&T Stadium 13-12 in 2015. The Cowboys last beat the Seahawks 30-23 in Seattle in 2014, the season they went 12-4 and lost to the Packers in the divisional playoff round.
Dallas clinched the NFC East with its win last week against Tampa Bay. The New Orleans Saints (13-3) are the No. 1 seed in the NFC and will have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
The Los Angeles Rams (13-3) are the No. 2 seed and the Bears are the No. 3 seed. Chicago will host the Eagles (9-7) at 3:40 p.m. Sunday.
