Dallas Cowboys
Compared to the NFC, the AFC’s final eight games in Week 18 seems out of control.
The only seed out of the seven for the playoffs that is anywhere close to being set is the 4th seed, which awaits the AFC North winner.
Whether that is the Baltimore Ravens or the Pittsburgh Steelers remains to be seen. The two teams kick off at 7:20 on Sunday night.
The winner is in the playoffs while the loser goes home.
If the Ravens prevail, D.K. Metcalf will have thrown the most expensive single punch in the history of sports.
The Steelers clearly...

The year is officially over, and so is the 2025 fantasy season, as things wrapped up this past weekend. The Dallas Cowboys had several key players who made a big impact this year. In fact, most of them outperformed their fantasy projections. Oddly enough, the one who didn’t had been a fantasy mainstay for the last few years. With the fantasy season in the books, we thought we’d look back and see how the key Cowboys’ players performed.
Projection: QB13 4,255 yards, 28 TDs, 12 INTs, 291.3 fantasy points,
Actual: QB5 4,482 yards, 30 TDs, 10 INTs,...

George Pickens will have all eyes and ears on him once contract talk begins with Jerry Jones.
With Mulugheta well aware of how Jones operates, Pickens feels “super prepared” for contract talks with Jones.
“Super prepared,” Pickens said Thursday. “I definitely leave that type of stuff to my agent because I let them [Mulugheta and Jones] talk the deals, and all that stuff but definitely super prepared.”
Part of that preparation is also advice from...

Welp, here it is, the last injury report for the 2025 Dallas Cowboys season.
With only one game left in the season, the Dallas Cowboys have ruled out a handful of players, including four starters for the season finale tomorrow against the New York Giants.
Take a look below at the final injury report of the season and I will tell you my thoughts on the decisions that are being made.

The Dallas Cowboys are the exception. Unfortunately for all of us in this context being the exception is not good. The Cowboys, who were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs several days before Christmas for the second year in a row, have had moments of extreme success this season, but they have also had some that made us want to bury our heads in the sand.
The latter is more relevant with these two data points. Week 17 saw most of its action unfold on Sunday, and as it did, the Arizona Cardinals lost to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Detroit Lions...

A season that had so much promise for the Dallas Cowboys has come to its final week. They are hoping to at least say they didn’t have a losing season by playing for an 8-8-1 record against the lowly New York Giants. Injuries have taken their toll all season, and heading into the finale, it’s more of the same. Some key players will be ruled out, and others are genuinely questionable to play in Week 18. Here’s the final injury report of the 2025 season.
The Cowboys have ruled out a handful players for the season finale. DeMarvion Overshown (concussion)...

Every week, we’re digging into the trenches, offense and defense, because that’s where the real action happens. In this installment, we’re shining a spotlight on the offensive line, who’s holding it down, who’s opening holes for the running backs, and who’s keeping Dak Prescott clean. Let’s get to it.
(2025 Stats: 1,056 Total snaps, 673 Pass Blocks, 26 Pressures, 0 QB Hits, 3 Sacks, 11 Penalties)
Smith’s 2025 has basically been elite in the run game, but still working on pass pro. PFF has him at a 71.6 overall grade with a monster 79.8...

The Dallas Cowboys may not be in the playoffs this season, but QB Dak Prescott is having an MVP-type year.
Too bad yet another incredible season by the play caller of America’s Team will be wasted by poor roster choices and an offseason of turmoil with since-traded EDGE Micah Parsons.
All-Pro CB Trevon Diggs is gone now, too.
He was waived after not following direct orders from HC Brian Schottenheimer after the Christmas Day game in Washington, and deemed expendable.
Oddly enough, Diggs has since reunited with his best friend, Micah Parsons, after the Green Bay Packers submitted a successful...

The Dallas Cowboys’ offseason needs are already a hot topic, and this team has plenty of them. However, in addition to adding more talent, key personnel changes are also needed to remove certain players and coaches from their current roles. If this team wants to improve next season, here are five individuals who should no longer be part of it.
That Dallas got six seasons and 91 starts (assuming he starts Sunday) out of an undrafted player is a success story, but it’s time to get real about our right tackle. Steele has never really reached...

The Dallas Cowboys are readying to play their final game of the season on Sunday, on some level it is hard to believe that the entire 2025 campaign has come and gone.
Predicting what happens in finales where both teams are mathematically eliminated can be tricky business. Sometimes teams rest important players, but it seems the Cowboys will not be doing that. In other instances some teams try to get young players opportunities for playing time to build on for the next season. We may see Dallas do that as the game goes along.
Our question for you all today...

When you fire your defensive coordinator (or let him walk, or let him go on a sabbatical, or whatever the Cowboys decide to do with Matt Eberflus), it’s often because the entire organization failed, and not just the guy nominally responsible for the defense. It follows that when you’re looking to fix that defense, you’re going to have to look at more than just the coaching. Because if you don’t, you’ll quickly find yourself back in the position you wanted to get out of in the first place.
While saying goodbye to Eberflus is the right decision, the danger is...

Jim Leonhard’s NFL-modeled 3-4 philosophy could give the Cowboys a needed defensive shift by maximizing DeMarvion Overshown’s range, disguising pressure, and redefining the front.
When I look at the direction of the Dallas Cowboys defense, the conversation keeps circling back to one truth: the next coordinator must bring clarity, flexibility, and real instruction.
If the Dallas Cowboys front office moves on from Matt Eberflus, Jim Leonhard is one defensive mind I would put in the mix without thinking twice about it.
