Well, here we are again, only three days until game day and honestly, if you did not know by now, the Dallas Cowboys are going to have to win every single game with their offense.
The Dallas defense is so bad, I will touch on that in a moment, but I am trying all I can to try and build myself up for this game on Sunday because, honestly, it means a lot more than you think.
After the Bears beat the Commanders on Monday night, the winner of this Cowboys/Washington matchup on Sunday is the sole leader of second place in the NFC East.

Defensive Records
As I said above, the Cowboys are going to have to win every single game with their offense, because this Dallas defense is on pace to set two NFL records this season.
Through the first six games of this season, the Cowboys have allowed 2,470 total yards against them. They are one of just three teams to eclipse 2,400.
They are ranked 32nd in the league, allowed 30 points for the fourth time in 2025, struggling particularly against the run and pass. In the Panthers game, they permitted 216 rushing yards.
Matt Eberflus, and the defense remains a work in progress, running man coverage on only 6.2% of plays, the lowest rate in the league.

The New Orleans Saints gave up a NFL record 7,042 yards in 2012. The Cowboys are on pace to give up 7,402 yards, they are allowing over 400 a game.
Not only that, they are on pace to give up an NFL RECORD 116.9 passer rating. They have made every single QB look good.
The Commanders did indeed lose to the Bears on Monday, but do we really think they will lose to the Cowboys? The question we should be asking is can the Cowboys score 35 or 40 and have the ball last?
That is what I think decides the game. I hope Dallas throws it 45 times. CeeDee Lamb is on track to be back and George Pickens and Dak Prescott have a fantastic connection right now.
The offense is on fire and that is who has to win this game. I don’t think even at home they can, but if they can find a way, this win would be them in sole possession of second place in the NFC East.
Commanders 37, Cowboys 31.
I think this game will see the Cowboy offense falter badly against the Redskins intense pressure defense. Dorrance Armstrong – the former Cowboy backup DE – especially will be extremely motivated in getting in the Cowboy backfield. Redskins 38 Cowboys 14.
No way you think the best offense in football will score 14 points LMAO
Shane, if your score prediction of a loss happens, they most likely don’t make the playoffs.
BTW, that narcissistic Rex Ryan guy hates the Cowboys like his father Buddy Ryan, who put a cash bounty on Aikman and Cowboy kicker Zendejas back in the day when Jimmy Johnson was Dallas HC.
I get soooooo aggravated at JJ and even BS when it comes to our defense!! I like BS as the head coach, but if he can’t see that we need a change at this coordinator position then I question his ability to be a head coach in this league ! It’s obvious that there must be something done, and it needs to be corrected soon or this season will be over!
I agree with you, but you’ve got to give more time to Eberflus to correct the defense. Number one, the best defensive guy got traded one week before the start of the season. Changing the defensive coach once again will not solve their problems. As always, blame Jerry on this one.
