A week ago, the Dallas Cowboys looked like the team of destiny in the NFC. But the Buffalo Bills humbled them with a 31-10 win in Week 15.

Things don't get much easier in week 16. Dallas faces another strong AFC East opponent, the Miami Dolphins. Miami didn't let up without Tyreek Hill in Week 15, dropping 30 points to the New York Jets in a shutout. Hill was listed as questionable all week with an ankle injury but is officially active for the match.

Both teams have a lot ahead of them in Week 16. Dallas is still fighting for the NFC East and has the same record as the Philadelphia Eagles (10-4). The Dolphins are seeded No. 2 in the AFC but could still overtake the Baltimore Ravens for first place and the wild card round.

In the week's other afternoon games, the Chicago Bears host the Arizona Cardinals and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Bears have won three of their last five games, although they lost by three points to the Cleveland Browns last weekend. The Cardinals lost to the San Francisco 49ers by 16 points last week while Kyler Murray threw two interceptions. The loss left them at just 3-11 on the season. The Jaguars have lost three straight but are still in contention in the AFC South. The Bucs, on the other hand, have won three times in a row.
