The Dallas Cowboys have only played three games scheduled for the 18th week of a season. They won their first two Week 18 games – 28 years apart.

What a difference a year makes. In January 2023, the Dallas Cowboys kicking game was on red alert. Brett Maher imploded in a wild card playoff game win over Tampa Bay. Maher missed four of his five extra-point attempts in the 31-14 victory. The misfires prompted a pre-game pep talk from Jerry Jones the next week …
The Dallas Cowboys didn’t play a 15th game in a regular season schedule until 1978, when the NFL expanded to 16 games. In the 45 years of Week 15 games that the Cowboys have played, they hold a 25-20 record overall. Dallas is 12-9 at home and 13-11 on the road in Week 15 contests. The …

The game we have all been waiting for since the release of the 2023 NFL schedule is finally here. You won’t hear me call it “Eagles week” because until the rivalry isn’t as lopsided with Dak Prescott as the Cowboys’ quarterback, Philadelphia hasn’t earned that moniker. Instead, I’ll just call it the week the Cowboys play …

The Cowboys will face the 49ers tonight in the fifth week of the NFL season. Dallas’ history on this week in the schedule is not great. Overall, Dallas is 33-25-2 in Week 5 contests. They’ve had two bye weeks fall on Week 5 (2011 and 2012) and had one game scratched due to the 1982 strike. …
Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys host Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots this Sunday.
