With under 50 days to Selection Sunday, we break down 20 teams with work to do to get into the Big Dance.

It was an ugly sequence after an ugly loss by the Cowboys.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy lost his composure after his team’s playoff loss to the 49ers in the divisional round Sunday night when he was seen stiff-arming a cameraman. In a photo caught by Josie Lepe of the Associated Press, McCarthy can be plainly seen putting his hand on the camera’s lens and pushing it away from him. 
It wasn’t a good look for the Dallas coach after his team’s 19–12 loss to San Francisco—the same team that eliminated them in the same round last season.

The Dallas quarterback addressed his play and the pressure that he’s facing following his team’s season-ending loss to the 49ers.
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott already was looking to the future after his team was eliminated from the playoffs by the 49ers Sunday night, and he made a solemn vow regarding the 2023 season. It all started when he was asked why Dallas can’t get over the proverbial hump that is the NFC divisional round.
