Dallas Cowboys Clinch Playoff Berth for First Time Since 2018

But it won’t have to wait to make the playoffs.

That invitation was extended Thursday evening when Tennessee beat San Francisco 20-17. The loss by the 49ers ensures that the Cowboys will return to the post-season after a two-year absence.
