Cowboys may have an easier task vs. Commanders than previously thought
It’s simple for the Dallas Cowboys when it comes to locking up the No.2 seed in the NFC playoffs. A win against the Washington Commanders, and they accomplish that and win the NFC East, and the Cowboys will have two potential home games in the postseason as long as they advance.
That task may have gotten a little easier for Dallas. According to Commanders insider JP Finlay of NBC Sports, the feeling is that a lot of the veterans on the team won’t play against the Cowboys.
I get the vibe a lot of Commanders veterans wont play this weekend

With a 4-12 record and nothing to play for except draft position, it makes sense for the Commanders to sit their better players, especially since a loss will put them in a better draft position. The Cowboys will need to make sure they handle business, though, because laying an egg here could open the door for the Philadelphia Eagles to win the division for a second straight year by defeating the New York Giants and steal the No.2 seed. If that happens, it would make Dallas the No.5 seed and force them to travel on the road for the entirety of the playoffs unless there happens to be some major upsets.
This should serve as more motivation for the Cowboys to go out and put this contest away early and get their veterans off the field as they prepare for a playoff run next week.

A US Air Force helicopter made a precautionary landing in northwest Washington, DC late Monday, local media reported.
The incident occurred at approximately 9.25 p.m. (0125GMT Tuesday) when a UH-1N Huey helicopter assigned to the 1st Helicopter Squadron at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland landed along Foxhall Road near Whitehaven Parkway NW, close to the Georgetown Reservoir.
All four crew members who were on board are safe, according to media reports.
Maintenance personnel and law enforcement officials remained at the scene into the early hours of Tuesday as authorities assessed the aircraft and investigated the circumstances surrounding the landing.
See what a ‘super’ El Niño could bring
USA TODAY Network reporter Brandi D. Addison breaks down what a strong El Niño could mean for weather patterns across the country.
It may be the middle of July, but the Old Farmer’s Almanac is already looking ahead to the fall with cooler temperatures ahead.
The Almanac, which has been one of the most trusted weather prediction sources for more than two centuries, recently released its fall forecast, showing a wide range of weather throughout the United States.
But what about in the Washington DC region? Here’s what the Almanac says.
What is the fall weather forecast in the Washington DC area?
DC sits along the Almanac’s Atlantic Corridor, and that region should expect a “cool, dry” fall, according to the forecast.
“Expect cooler and wetter conditions than usual this fall,” the Old Farmer’s Almanac says. “Below average temperatures are forecast, along with an uptick in precipitation over traditional averages.”
Last year, DC received 6.53 inches of rain during September, October and November — significantly lower than the city’s 30-year average of 10.50 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
September’s average temperature was 72.2 degrees, with October at 60.3 and November at 49.9 degrees. The season had an average temperature of 60.8 degrees, slightly below the 30-year average of 61.0 degrees.
What does the Farmer’s Almanac say about winter in Washington DC?
In its long-range forecast, the Almanac forecasts above average temperatures this winter in DC with snowfall below normal.
“The coldest periods will occur in mid- to late-December and early and late January,” it says. “The snowiest periods will be in late December, early January, and late February.”
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says it is 80% accurate, but a 2017 University of Illinois study found it to be just 52% accurate.
