Cowboys owner Jerry Jones believes the team needs to win the NFC East division in order to qualify for the playoffs. "It's very early and I wouldn't dare to venture what can happen," Jones said. "I will say this. We're going to need to win the division, I think, to get in the playoffs." Dallas is 5-4 and one game behind the Giants for first place in the NFC East. In terms of the Wild Card, they are also one game behind the Lions and Bears.
