The Dallas Cowboys (7-6) will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6) as both teams look to stay in the playoff hunt. However, the Cowboys may have to do so without the services of their top offensive threat, wide receiver Dez Bryant.

Dallas suffered a huge setback when Bryant broke his left index finger against the Cincinnati Bengals last week. However, he still had a fourth quarter touchdown reception after the injury and may still play on Sunday regardless.

"One of the things we know about Dez is he's a tough guy and he loves playing football. He's going to give himself and our team every chance possible to play in this ballgame and continue to play this season," coach Jason Garrett told ESPN.

In his last five games, Bryant has compiled 33 receptions for 525 yards and seven TDs and is ranked tenth in the NFL with 1,028 yards this season.

The receiver's performance have certainly aided QB Tony Romo, who has a 66.3 percent completion percentage, passing for an average of 306.8 yards in his last five games after throwing 13 picks in his first seven.

After defeating the Bengals by a score of 20-19 last week, the Cowboys have now strung together four out of five wins and now sit just one game behind the New York Giants in the NFC East. Dallas is also a game back of the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks for a wild-card spot.

For the Steelers, QB Ben Rothlisberger will be back on the field for the matchup and will undoubtedly play a crucial factor in the game's outcome.
