For the final game of Week 14, two of the NFL’s most disappointing teams will square off as the Dallas Cowboys host the Cincinnati Bengals on “Monday Night Football.”
The Cowboys have won back-to-back games, but even those wins have only brought the to 5-7 after they had lost each of their previous five. They have not played well on either side of the ball all season, and it would be obvious that they were playing out the string on the Mike McCarthy era if only Jerry Jones (and many of the players on the team) would stop insisting otherwise.
The Bengals are somehow in even worse shape at just 4-8, having lost three consecutive one-score games to playoff contenders. Just one of their eight losses was by more than seven points, but they are now in a position where they likely have to win out and get a ton of help if they want to make a last-ditch run at a postseason berth.
Which of these two teams will emerge with a win? We’ll find out soon enough. Before we break down the matchup, here’s a look at how you can watch the game.

When the Bengals have the ball
It’s really unfortunate that Cincinnati’s defense is so bad, because the offense really has played exceptional football, for the most part.

Ja’Marr Chase is absolutely dunking on the entire league, ripping off a career-best 72.5% catch rate and career-best 95.2…
