FILE - In this Dec. 18, 2016, file photo, Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten (82) gets past a tackle attempt by Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Javien Elliott (35) after catching a pass during an NFL football game in Arlington, Texas. The last time Dallas had the top seed secured before the end of the regular season, Witten was a fifth-year tight end in 2007. The Cowboys promptly lost their first playoff game to the New York Giants and watched their division rival upset undefeated New England in the Super Bowl. So now the question is how the Cowboys (12-2) keep their edge with two games that won’t change their spot in the playoff bracket--starting Monday night at home against Detroit (9-5)--along with a bye before their postseason opener.
