Jimmy Johnson was dropping wisdom on Cowboys Nation over the holiday weekend. In the pregame leading up to the Cowboys’ 27-20 win over the Giants, Johnson dropped this after picking the Cowboys to win. “They won last week, they’re gonna win today,” Johnson said. “Then they’re going to win the next two games.” After a pause, …
In case you hadn’t heard, the Dallas Cowboys have won two straight games. They are now at 5-7 for the season after their 27-20 victory over the Giants on Thanksgiving Day. They are also facing a nightmare scenario. Dallas’ next two games are winnable, even for a team that has struggled as the Cowboys have. They …
Last week, it was the special teams unit that saved the Cowboys. This week it was a stellar defensive effort that carried the day. Dallas kept its slim playoff hopes alive on Thanksgiving Day with a 27-20 victory over the New York Giants. The win was the first for the Cowboys at home this season after …
For the 57th time in 65 seasons, the Dallas Cowboys will host a football game on Thanksgiving Day. Dallas is hoping to carve up the lowly Giants before heading home to carve up some turkey. Given the opponent, it seems like a likely outcome. But the Cowboys have yet to win a game at home this …
A 10-7 record is not going to be good enough to win the NFC East in 2024. Since that is the absolute best record the Dallas Cowboys can end the year with, that rules them out of defending their title. Barring, of course, the Eagles and Commanders both collapsing in record fashion. So, the Cowboys now …
For 51 minutes on Sunday afternoon, it looked like the tank was in and then the final nine minutes played out. You are not alone this morning if you’re still trying to process the final 540 seconds of the Dallas Cowboys 34-26 win. Just imagine what the Washington Commanders are going through right now. With the …
Last year, the Washington Commanders arrived in Texas to face the Dallas Cowboys in a Week 12 contest. Washington was 4-7 and playing out the string. The Cowboys were 7-3 and trailing the Eagles by two games for the NFC East title. Fast-forward one year to Week 12 of the 2024 season. The Cowboys are 3-7 …
Ten games into what has become a nightmare season for the Dallas Cowboys, there are some absolute certainties: The season is a total loss There are players currently on the roster who should not be back in 2025 The players from the last two drafts need to start the rest of the way At 3-7, and …
Last year, through 11 weeks of the NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles looked poised to cruise to the NFC East title. They were 9-1 and would win in Week 12 to go to 10-1. In short, the Eagles looked unstoppable. Then they lost five of their next six games to finish 11-6 and a game behind …
The Dallas Cowboys suffered their fifth straight loss of the season on Monday night. And that might be as good as the news gets. Several offensive linemen failed to finish the 34-10 loss to the Texans. Including their two starting guards, Zach Martin and Tyler Smith. Already limited in practice last week, Martin suffered an ankle …
Two teams riding losing streaks will enter. Only one, probably, will exit with a one-game winning streak and bragging rights for Texas. Barring, of course, a tie. The way the Dallas Cowboys season has been going, nothing can be ruled out. The Cowboys, with a four-game losing streak in tow, will host the Houston Texans in …
After last Sunday’s blowout loss to the Eagles, barring a miraculous turnaround, the 2024 season is a lost cause for the Dallas Cowboys. Monday night’s game against the Texans is shaping up to be Dallas’ fifth home loss. At 3-7, the Cowboys would seemingly be all but officially eliminated from the playoffs. Prior to today’s games, …
It may seem like a minor issue, especially in light of a 3-6 season in a death spiral, but what is becoming “Curtain-gate” is a symptom of the larger issue. The Dallas Cowboys are an un-serious organization from top to bottom. The recent reemergence of why having a wall of glass at the western end of …
Very few of the veteran players had much to point at on the stat sheet after Sunday’s blowout loss to Philadelphia. The 2024 draft class had even less to brag about. But there was a bright spot or two among the rookies. Linebacker Marist Liufau collected one of the Eagles’ two turnovers, recovering a Jalen Hurts’ …
The NFC East has devolved into a pair of two-team races after 10 weeks of the NFL season. The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders are poised for an eight-week sprint for the division title. The two teams meet for the first time this year on Thursday night. The winner of that game will have a nice …
For the last three seasons, the Dallas Cowboys had two impressive streaks. They won 12 games in each of those three seasons. Dallas also made the playoffs in the last three seasons. One streak is officially dead. The other is on life support. With the Cowboys’ 34-6 loss to the Eagles on Sunday, they fell to …
Let’s face it, things aren’t looking particularly good for the Dallas Cowboys right now. Dallas sits at 3-5 after the first half of the season. They’ve already had their bye week. Nine weeks ahead without a break, and the Cowboys sit 3.5 games behind the Commanders for first place in the NFC East. If the playoffs …
With Dak Prescott expected to miss several weeks, and possibly land on IR, due to a hamstring injury, recovery time is usually 4-6 weeks. There is one player on the Dallas Cowboys who benefits greatly from this situation. Trey Lance, the Cowboys’ third string quarterback. Inside The Star Staff Writer, Mario Herrera Jr., laid out a …
He’d been sidelined for four weeks, recovering from a shoulder injury, but when rookie cornerback Caelen Carson returned to the starting lineup, he showed up. Carson had seven tackles, six solo. Those six solo tackles led the Cowboys in that category. He was certainly one of the bright spots on defense and the brightest of the …
The Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles continue to slug it out for the NFC East. The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants keep falling further behind the pace. The chances of either winning the division as we hit the halfway point of the year are low. The chances of either making the playoffs aren’t that much …
Just minutes after watching his team fall to 3-5 after another poor effort, Jerry Jones declared his Dallas Cowboys would like be buyers as tomorrow’s trade deadline nears. As usual, Jones is dead wrong. The Cowboys should be sellers. The only thing they should be buying is cap space and draft picks. The 2024 season is …
