Thursday Night Football will feature the Dallas Cowboys against the Chicago Bears tonight, and with their postseason on the line, the Cowboys will see this as a must-win road game.

Tonight's big Thursday Night Football game will take place at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois and will start at 8.25 p.m. EDT. The game will be broadcast on the NFL Network, but can also be watched online through live stream via the link provided below.

The Dallas Cowboys come into tonight's game on 8-4 and now a game behind the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles top the NFC East on 9-3, and with just a month of regular season action to go the Cowboys may have to win all their remaining games to leapfrog Philadelphia to the division title.

It will be no easy task for the Cowboys as three of their final four games take place on the road. If they can win tonight, they will travel to Philadelphia on Dec. 14 to take on the Eagles, hoping to reverse the result in Dallas where the Eagles triumphed over the Cowboys 10-33 just last week.

In Week 16 the Cowboys will return for their final home game against the Indianapolis Colts, which will be an extremely tough game, but no doubt will be one that Dallas cannot lose if they are to maintain their push for the top spot.

Their season will end on Dec. 28 with a road game against the lowly Washington Redskins, who would like nothing better than to spoil the party for the Cowboys and block their route to the division title and postseason.

But all that may be insignificant if the Cowboys cannot win tonight against the Bears. Chicago are 5-7 and tied for bottom place in the NFC North. Their hopes of reaching the postseason have long since died, but they will be playing for pride, and a number of people there will also be playing for their futures given the poor season Chicago has had.
