A Dallas Cowboys football blog

Football player wearing a Dallas Cowboys uniform with number 58 runs onto the field.

Even the Cowboys’ rookies had an abysmal Sunday

The bottom line: No one wearing the Blue Star walked off the field Sunday feeling good about themselves. Of the 11 rookies on the Cowboys’ 53-man roster only two had anything positive to point to in the box score. That’s not saying much. The Cowboys’ third round pick — linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (Texas) — is out …

Will the NFC East go Beast, or Least next season?

Eagles perched atop the NFC East after Week 3

And then there was one. Coming into the third week of the NFL season, three NFC East teams were undefeated. Now only one remains. The Redskins got stampeded by Buffalo at home Sunday morning. The Cowboys simply didn’t show up to play in Arizona. The Eagles took full advantage by going on the road and beating …

Monday morning quarterback: Cowboys wilt in the desert

Okay, Cowboys fandom, all together now: What the heck was that? The Dallas Cowboys traveled to the desert and wilted. The two-game win streak to start the season is gone. So too is Dallas’ two-game win streak in Week 3 games. And wave goodbye to the Cowboys’ four-game win streak over the Cardinals in Week 3 …

Cardinals upset mistake-prone Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys were expected to roll into Arizona and roll over the Cardinals on Sunday. The host team had other ideas and made the Cowboys pay for every mistake they made on both sides of the ball. And Dallas made way too many errors in a 28-16 loss to drop Dallas to 2-1 on the …

Cowboys Players That Stood Out Against The Cardinals

Cowboys’ bring Week 3 win streak into Arizona today

The Cowboys are 35-23 (.603) in Week 3 games played during their previous 63 seasons. Do not adjust your screens, you’re not seeing things. Their won-loss record only adds up to 58 games played. Dallas has had two Week 3 games scrubbed by labor disputes in the 1980s. They’ve also had three bye weeks hit during …

Former Third Round Pick Fails To Make Cowboys' 53-Man Roster 1

Cowboys’ defense a fantasy football powerhouse after Week 2

When you’re holding a 70-10 scoring advantage through the first two weeks you’re likely putting up big fantasy points. The Dallas Cowboys are doing just that in 2023. The defense is the scoring leader so far and they are showing no signs of slowing down. Only a grazed knee prevented Micah Parsons from scoring a touchdown, …

Monday Morning Quarterback: Cowboys jet past New York again  

Another week, another New York football team stomped upon. Yawn. The Dallas Cowboys are 2-0 to start a season for the 26th time in their 64-year history. Only once in the Cowboys’ eight Super Bowl seasons has Dallas not started the season at 2-0. That one year was 1993 when Emmitt Smith held out. As dominating …

Jerrys’ great, not so good, very bad week

You would think that a 40-0 blowout road win over a divisional rival on national television would ensure a great week ahead, right? Not unless your name is Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys. In a week where he should be walking on Cloud Nine after the Cowboys dismantled the Giants, it took Jones all …

Mixed results for Cowboys in fantasy football

Sunday night’s “Massacre In The Meadowlands” was outstanding for the Dallas Cowboys overall. A dominating win in the season-opener over a division rival. No serious injuries. No question marks raised. Couldn’t ask for anything more. But for fantasy football owners with Cowboys on the roster it was a mixed bag. Pollard Leads The Offense The way …

Monday Morning Quarterback: Cowboys Have Perfect Opener

Week 1 NFC East recap: A logjam at the top

Before the Cowboys and Giants kicked off on Sunday night one thing was certain. Barring a tie, the winner would be in three-way tie for first. The loser would be all alone in the cellar of the NFC East. New York’s G-Men didn’t so much tumble to the bottom as they were hurled down there by …

Monday Morning Quarterback: Cowboys Have Perfect Opener

NFL teams rarely have a season-opening game go as perfectly for them as the Cowboys did last night. A 15-yard personal foul on a late hit let the Giants move steadily downfield. After a bad snap stalled the drive, the Cowboys special teams stepped up. Juanyeh Thomas blocked Graham Gano’s 46-yard field goal attempt and Noah …

Should Jerry Jones Break his Silence About the Black Lives Matter Movement?

Jerry Jones hologram will haunt AT&T Stadium

Its been nearly 35 years since Jerry Jones purchased the Dallas Cowboys. It has been 27 seasons since the Cowboys last won a Super Bowl. Or made it to an NFC Championship game for that matter. Jones will turn 81 next month. Not to be morbid, but his time running the Cowboys is coming to a …

2022 campaign was a season of chaos in Dallas

Chaos and the Dallas Cowboys are old companions, especially in the Jerry Jones era. But the 2022 season was possibly more chaotic than any other. Despite questions lingering over the injury suffered by Michael Gallup the year before – and having signed him to a five-year deal in 2019 – the Cowboys traded Amari Cooper to …
