Eberflus has been on the hot seat for what feels like the entire year, but fortunately for Cowboys fans, one major potential candidate for defensive coordinator is being connected to Dallas before the regular season concludes.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is preparing to play in his team's final game of the 2025 season on Sunday, Jan. 4 at the New York Giants even though Dallas has been eliminated from playoff contention.

Yes, Giants fans, there remains a chance you can land the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, even after Sunday's 34-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders cost Big Blue a chance to remove any doubt.

The Cowboys have nothing to play for, and aren't on the field on Sunday, but the results do matter. Here's how.

The Giants would have had a 99.7% chance at the No. 1 pick if they lost to the Raiders on Sunday. It's now at 20%, according to ESPN Analytics.

The No. 1 pick now belongs to the 2-14 Raiders, with the Giants holding the No. 2 overall pick. The Giants can still get the No. 1 pick if they lose to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18 and the Raiders defeat the Kansas City Chiefs.

The New York Giants steamrolled the Las Vegas Raiders, 34-10, in the "Tank Bowl" to snap multiple losing skids.
