The Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Commanders face off Sunday, Jan. 7. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off the first two months).

The task in front of the Cowboys is simple: win and clinch the NFC East. Their opponent is the last-place Commanders, who have lost seven in a row under a lame-duck coach.

The Cowboys could be celebrating their division title in the same visiting locker room the San Francisco 49ers did when they wrapped up the conference’s top seed. But Dallas — though not in the same circumstances — got whacked 26-6 by Washington at FedEx Field a year ago in the regular-season finale, and the memory of that game and what’s at stake now is plenty of fuel not to trip up this time.

The Cowboys (11-5) have proved to be among the NFL’s elite even after some recent struggles. They beat Detroit and got a surprise loss by Philadelphia to Arizona last weekend to put them in line for the division crown and potentially two playoff games at home, where they’ve got a 16-game winning streak and are 8-0 this season.

There’s no place like home, but the road has not been so kind: The Cowboys are 3-5, though four of the losses have come to teams either in the playoffs or close to clinching. One more road victory clinches a third consecutive 12-5 record.

When is Cowboys-Commanders?

Dallas and Washington play at 3:25 p.m. (4:25 p.m. ET) on Sunday, Jan. 7.
