2025 NFL Week 8: Dallas Cowboys at Denver Broncos

2025 NFL Week 8: Dallas Cowboys at Denver Broncos

The Dallas Cowboys are on the road this week and will visit the Denver Broncos. Amazingly, the Cowboys have not beaten the Broncos since their last season of serious note, 1995, when the franchise last reached an NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl as they won it all that year.

All told the Cowboys have lost seven straight games to the Broncos as Denver has been a weird challenge for them in recent history. This year’s team will present some difficulty as well as Sean Payton has Bo Nix and Co. playing at a high level with a 5-2 record....

Hot Schotts: Cowboys on verge of becoming a juggernaut under Brian Schottenheimer

A fair warning to the pessimists out there: this column is overflowing with Kool-Aid. Proceed with caution.

It’s hard not to feel optimistic about the Cowboys right now, though. They obliterated the Commanders on Sunday, which simultaneously catapulted them into second place in the NFC East while dropping their rival – who reached the conference championship game a year ago – under .500 on the season.

Combine that with an Eagles squad that came dangerously close to losing their third straight game this week, and hope abounds, rightfully so.

There was context to consider. The Commanders didn’t have Terry McLaurin...

Dallas Cowboys

Tyler Booker (OG)

First Round

Back in the lineup against Washington, Booker moved like a man who left the training room weeks ago. He played with quick feet and zero limp on his ankle. He reset the line of scrimmage on early downs, snapped off clean pass-offs on twists, and gave Dak Prescott plenty of runway to climb.

Booker’s best trait is how...

BTB Wednesday Discussion: If you could choose, which first-rounder would you send for Maxx Crosby?

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly in the mix for a hypothetical Maxx Crosby trade. To say we are all excited would be underselling the situation to the highest possible degree.

Landing Crosby would immediately stabilize the Cowboys defense in a serious way which is why so many people want to see it happen. For today’s discussion we want to live in a hypothetical world where it does and assume that it requires one of the Cowboys’ first round picks.

Following Week 7 the Cowboys hold the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft by way of themselves and the...

Dallas Cowboys Power Rankings Week 8: Rising Momentum

The Dallas Cowboys have quietly climbed the national rankings heading into Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season.

While the surge isn’t enough to vault them into elite territory, it does reflect a growing confidence in Dak Prescott’s offense and a team starting to find balance.


Expanded Average Ranking Movement

To gauge Dallas’s progress, here are the Week 8 and Week 7 rankings from seven major outlets, with the change shown:

Average this week (all 7): (17 + 16 + 18 + 20 + 17 + 16 + 19) ÷ 7 ≈ 17.6 ≈ 18th place

Mike: Dak played football with a surgeon’s calm and right now is showing how the league how to play the quarterback position. What popped most was his pre-snap command by using motion, clever cadence, and checks to keep Washington out of its comfort zone. He...

Do the Cowboys have the 2025 DROY on their roster?

Do the Cowboys have the 2025 DROY on their roster?

In the second and third rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys focused on their defense. They selected defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku in the second round and defensive back Shavon Revel in the third round.

However, they may have landed their best pick of the draft on the defensive side of the ball down in the fifth round.

Linebacker Shemar James out of Florida was the 152nd player taken overall, and the second player Dallas selected in the fifth round.

He was taken three picks after the Cowboys selected Texas running back Jaydon Blue. Blue was the second...

Cowboys news: NFL insider throws cold water on Maxx Crosby trade rumors

Raiders’ Maxx Crosby Reportedly Won’t Be Traded at Deadline amid Cowboys, NFL Rumors – Zach Bachar, Bleacher Report

As quickly as Maxx Crosby was floated as a possible trade target for the Dallas Cowboys, cold water was thrown on top of it—for now.

Star defensive end Maxx Crosby will reportedly be sticking with the Las Vegas Raiders beyond the 2025 trade deadline.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Raiders met with Crosby on Tuesday to inform him that they weren’t shopping him on the trade market and won’t part ways with him.

NFC East update: Cowboys move up

NFC East update: Cowboys move up

NASCAR icon Ricky Bobby once said, “If you’re not first, you’re last.” An NFL division race can feel that way sometimes, but there are worse things than second place. That’s where the Dallas Cowboys find themselves after Week 7, thanks to a big win over the Washington Commanders.

Washington will have to wait until the Christmas Day game to get their revenge, and will hope that having a few more healthy receivers will help turn the tide. By that point, Week 17, the potential impact of that game should be very clear. But Dallas should have some of its own...

Cowboys trade rumors: Numbers behind hypothetical Maxx Crosby trade

Word broke on Tuesday morning that the Dallas Cowboys had inquired about trading for Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby. He would immediately fill the Micah Parsons-shaped hole on the Cowboys roster that has been in place for about two months now. Trading for him would give Jerry Jones an opportunity to finally live up to his ‘all-in’ declaration from a year and a half ago.

The reason to consider going ‘all-in’ is the Cowboys have a quarterback playing at an MVP level in Dak Prescott. He has weapons in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Jake Ferguson, and Javonte Williams...

2025 NFL Week 8 Power Rankings: Cowboys rise after dominating win

The NFL is a week-to-week league, and in our current one the sun is shining a bit brighter on the Dallas Cowboys. Thankfully there is no AT&T Stadium glare to make it impossible to see, though.

Things appear to be looking up for the Cowboys, but they can just as quickly turn as we know full well. We are almost halfway through the NFL season at large and teams all over the league are juggling that same mental battle of figuring out who they are going to be as the cooler temperatures arrive.

Jerry Jones has a chance to redeem himself by going “All-in” by trading for Maxx Crosby

The Dallas Cowboys are on the clock. The tick-tock sound you hear is Father Time winding down on the playing career of Dak Prescott. The Cowboys’ franchise quarterback is 32 years old, and realistically speaking, you can probably count on one hand how many good years he has left. And it doesn’t help that he has missed time in four of his last five seasons.

Right now, he’s playing the best football of his career. He’s lean, he’s mentally sharp, and thanks to the new coaching staff, he has many things working in his favor to help this offense hum....
