With the Cowboys eliminated from playoff contention, the Cowboys have decided to start Kellen Moore this Sunday against the Bills.

The Dallas Cowboys were officially eliminated after their 19-16 loss to the New York Jets on Saturday.

The 26-year-old Moore completed 15 of his 25 passes against the Jets, and threw for one touchdown. He also threw three interceptions.

Tony Romo, who was 3-1 as starter this year, broke his collarbone twice. Without Romo, the Cowboys’ combination of Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassell were 1-9.

Nonetheless, Moore now has the opportunity to prove that he can be a viable option to back up Romo in 2016.
