A late-season push may not be enough to secure the team a playoff spot this season, but it’s not all doom and gloom in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has sent plenty of messages to his team and otherwise over the last week, with the playoffs essentially out of reach. Burrow did so again before his team takes on the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night in Week 14.

The Cowboys played the only game they could to give themselves a chance at victory. Dallas avoided the shootout it had no chance of winning. The defense came up with a big play here and there to keep the score tied and appeared to give their offense the ball back in the final two minutes of a tie game.
