Dolphins vs. Cowboys inactives: Who is out for the Week 16 showdown?

The Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins are set to face off in a battle of two storied NFL franchises. Both teams have identical 10-4 records and will be fine-tuning their rosters for potential deep playoff runs in separate conferences.

Dallas comes into this game after their first loss in six games. That loss came against the Buffalo Bills, who inflicted a 31-10 defeat on America's team.

The game was never close, and Josh Allen had a field day against a Dallas defense that never got out of the mark. The loss showcased potential pitfalls in the Cowboys' impressive system, and they'll need to figure it out before a grueling playoff schedule in the stacked NFC Conference.

As for the Miami Dolphins, they are currently having a great run of form. They enjoyed a comprehensive 30-0 victory over the New York Jets in Week 15 and didn't need MVP candidate Tyreek Hill for the contest.

Of course, it won't be as easy against the Dallas Cowboys, but Tua Tagovailoa and Co will fancy their chances against Jerry Jones' side in Week 16.
