For the second time this year, the Dallas Cowboys will be playing on a holiday as they visit the Washington Commanders on Christmas Day. The NFC East showdown is the start of a double-header on Netflix, and while both teams are out of the playoff race, their heated rivalry offers more than enough excitement.

Dallas comes into this one looking to end a three-game losing streak, aiming for some momentum to close out the season. Washington ended an eight-game winning streak in Week 15 by knocking off the New York Giants, but suffered a defeat in Week 16 at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles.

This week will be another tough test for the 4-11 Commanders, who are turning to journeyman veteran Josh Johnson under center with Marcus Mariota dealing with a hand and quad injury.
