NFC East update: Cowboys, Commanders in second-place race

NFC East update: Cowboys, Commanders in second-place race

While it’s still quite early in this 2025 season, the current NFC East standings feel like they may hold through Week 18. The Eagles are on top, the Giants are on the bottom, and the Cowboys and Commanders are tied for second place. Things could certainly change over time, but this feels like an good representation of these teams’ prospects for the season as a whole.

After barely fighting off Dallas in Week 1, Philadelphia went into their Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs and handled their business. The Eagles have a simple, but highly effective, formula for winning, and...

Cowboys have QB advantage vs. Bears, but Matt Eberflus needs a plan in Chicago return

Cowboys have QB advantage vs. Bears, but Matt Eberflus needs a plan in Chicago return

For two of the most recognizable brands in the NFL, it may come as a surprise that Sunday’s meeting between the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears at Solider Field will be just the 29th meeting in this series’ history. The Cowboys have the edge with 16 wins to 12 losses, making their first visit to the Windy City since a December 2019 loss. Amazingly, when it comes to meetings between these teams in Chicago, the Cowboys and Bears have alternated wins and losses for nine games in a row. The last Cowboys win at the Bears came in 2014 with...

Cowboys injuries: Diggs practices, Guyton & Turpin upgraded to full participation

Cowboys injuries: Diggs practices, Guyton & Turpin upgraded to full participation

This week, the Dallas Cowboys face the Chicago Bears. The Cowboys are pretty healthy so far for this week, but the Bears are battling injuries.

We’ll start with the Cowboys side of things.

After missing practice yesterday due to an illness, Trevon Diggs returned to practice at a full capacity. DaRon Bland (foot) was listed as a DNP. However, Tyler Guyton (shoulder) and KaVontae Turpin (neck) were upgraded to full participation after being limited yesterday.

As of the second practice of the week, the Bears aren’t looking very good, particularly on the defensive side. Linebacker T.J. Edwards and cornerback Kyler...

Grading Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer after his first career win

Grading Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer after his first career win

In week two, the Dallas Cowboys had many firsts. Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer got his first win as an NFL head coach, and the Cowboys were able to notch their first win of the 2025 season.

After an impressive start to his head coaching career in the Cowboys week one loss, Schottenheimer had another impressive outing as a head coach and play-caller in the team’s week two victory against the New York Giants. Let’s dive into it.

Play-Calling

There were quite a few complaints about the Cowboys play-calling after the game. One of the major complaints were a...

Cowboys Hot Topic: Jadeveon Clowney is already showing leadership

Cowboys Hot Topic: Jadeveon Clowney is already showing leadership

When the Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons, edge rusher immediately became a concern. It showed in their Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but last week versus the New York Giants that blinking light became too much to ignore. Team owner Jerry Jones announced that the Cowboys were signing veteran Jadeveon Clowney right after their first victory.

The deal was agreed upon before the Cowboys’ thrilling overtime win. Once Clowney signed it on Monday, he spoke about why he wanted to come to Dallas, and another defensive lineman that was recently added to the roster had a lot to...

Cowboys vs. Bears: Week 3 matchups to watch

Cowboys vs. Bears: Week 3 matchups to watch

Through two weeks of the 2025 NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys remain a bit of an enigma. They lost a close game to the defending Super Bowl champions in the season opener only to follow it up with a worse performance against an inferior opponent that resulted in an overtime victory. What kind of performance they will have in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears is anyone’s guess right now.

To put another “W” in the win column though there are a few matchups that could help sway the game in their favor. Today, we share the ones we will...

Cowboys at Bears: 2 players Dallas should use more in Week 3

Cowboys at Bears: 2 players Dallas should use more in Week 3

While the Dallas Cowboys did escape last week’s matchup against the New York Giants with a win, their performance left plenty to be desired on both sides of the ball. If the Cowboys want to earn a victory on the road in Chicago this Sunday, they’ll need to clean up some things.

With that in mind, today, we look at two players the Cowboys should use more this week if they want to play a better game than they did last week.

1) OT Nathan Thomas

It’s no secret that Dallas’ offensive line got their butt kicked last week. As...

BTB Thursday Discussion: What is your biggest Cowboys worry at the moment?

BTB Thursday Discussion: What is your biggest Cowboys worry at the moment?

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off of a win, but that game is well in the rearview mirror now. If Dallas wants to put together their first winning streak of the season then they are going to have to get through the Chicago Bears, and it would help their cause if the defense was not as porous as they were against the New York Giants. That goes without saying.

If we were to power rank all of the worries that we have with the Cowboys at the moment then it stands to reason that the secondary might be chief among...

After further review: Cowboys pass defense was embarrassingly bad against the Giants

After further review: Cowboys pass defense was embarrassingly bad against the Giants

The Dallas Cowboys came away with the victory on Sunday against their divisional foe, the New York Giants, but in doing so left a bad taste in our mouths. That’s because the defense was terrible. The Cowboys’ defense allowed 506 total yards, including 422 yards through the air. It was the most passing yards allowed by a Cowboys defense since 2016, when they found themselves in a Thanksgiving shootout with Washington.

On the season, the Cowboys are giving up the third-most passing yards in the league. What is strange about this is that the team had just come off a...

Cowboys news: George Pickens wants to ‘stay open’ for Dak Prescott

George Pickens on playing with Dak Prescott, expanded route tree – Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com

George Pickens is focused on building chemistry with Dak Prescott.

FRISCO, Texas – Through two games with the Cowboys, wide receiver George Pickens is getting acclimated to Dallas’ offense and playing with Dak Prescott.

A large part of that responsibility? Being just one of the many targets that head coach Brian Schottenheimer and Prescott have to choose from in the passing game, which means full effort even when the ball isn’t going his way.

“Running every route hard, just trying to...
