One more NFL Wild Card playoff game, and it is tonight. The Texans take on the Steelers.

This is an open thread for game chat.

It’s no secret that the linebacker spot was one of the Dallas Cowboys’ weakest position groups last season. In the offseason, Dallas brought in a pair of veterans, Kenneth Murray and Jack Sanborn, hoping a change of scenery could bring out the best in the two veterans.

Unfortunately for the Cowboys, both acquisitions ended up not helping the team at all. Murray was undoubtedly one of the worst-performing linebackers in all of football, while Sanborn played in just six games before his season was ended due to a groin injury.

Outside of Murray and Sanborn, Dallas’s trio of young linebackers,...

Despite leading 21-3 in the first half, the Green Bay Packers fell victim to an epic Chicago Bears comeback and were bounced from the wild card round, 31-27. This is great news for the Dallas Cowboys, as the Packers’ loss secured them the 20th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft courtesy of the Micah Parsons trade. Had the Packers won, that pick would have slid down to 25, and potentially even worse if Green Bay kept winning. Fortunately, that’s no longer a concern, and the Cowboys will now have two top 20 picks for the first time since 2005,...

The Dallas Cowboys did their first round of interviews for their next defensive coordinator over the weekend. While the front office said they would cast a wide net during the search, there is a rumor the team could already have its eye on who will replace Matt Eberflus.

Cowboys insider Bobby Belt for Shan & RJ on 105.3 The Fan had an update Monday morning on where things stand with the team and their vacancy at the coordinator position. Here is what he texted Shan:

“I texted Bobby last night and I said is there any update, any movement?...

We have reached the second week of the offseason for the Dallas Cowboys and on some level it doesn’t really feel like it.

Maybe this is the case because there are still actively NFL games going on. Things stay pretty busy even after the Super Bowl with the NFL combine beginning and free agency not to far behind. We still have a little bit of a ways to go before we are truly wandering through the desert, so to speak.

Perhaps the reason things feel this way is because there is hope around the Cowboys for the first time in...

The Cowboys hold picks 12 and 20 in the 2026 NFL Draft, and their track record in this exact range tells a story fans shouldn’t ignore.

I’ve watched enough Cowboys drafts to know when something feels different, and this one does.

The Dallas Cowboys don’t usually sit in the middle of the first round with leverage. We have watched the Cowboys either picking late, or scrambling to make up ground.

But in the 2026 NFL Draft, Dallas holding two first-round picks, No.12 and No.20, immediately stood out to me. Why?

Because I have seen this exact draft range work for...

The Dallas Cowboys thought they got a gift from the Chicago Bears way back before even hiring head coach Brian Schottenheimer, when they were able to hire their former coach Matt Eberflus as defensive coordinator after the Bears relieved him of head coaching duties. As we all know at this point, that did not work out in the slightest, but that doesn’t mean a gift from the Bears wasn’t still on the way. Ben Johnson’s Bears handed the Cowboys one of their worst losses of the 2025 season all the way back in week three, but they also earned their...

While the players clearly didn’t get the job done on the field in the 2025 season, some members of the team’s coaching staff earned a share of blame for the 7-9-1 record the Dallas Cowboys finished with.

Especially on the defensive side of the ball.

First year head coach Brian Schottenheimer did manage to invigorate the Cowboys’ offense in 2025. Dak Prescott had perhaps his best season yet.

Dallas had a pair of thousand-yard receivers in CeeDee Lamb and a 1,000-yard rusher in Javonte Williams.

The Cowboys scored 471 points for the season, the fourth highest in the team’s 66...

Cowboys now on deadline to make $28 million decision that will define offseason – Luke Norris, The Landry Hat

Offseason decisions begin now.

The Cowboys could save at least $2.5 million in 2026 by placing the franchise tag on George Pickens

Acquired in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers in early May, Pickens was phenomenal for Dallas during the 2025 season, ranking eighth in the NFL in receptions (93), third in receiving yards (1,429), sixth in yards per reception (15.4), and tied for eighth in receiving touchdowns (nine) en route to earning his first trip to...

The wildcard round will wrap up tonight when the Houston Texans take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a game that should be very low scoring.

Before I just give a quick recap of the games, think about this. We had five games between Saturday and Sunday. The losing teams lost by a COMBINED 27 points.

The Bills, Bears and Rams all won their opening playoff games by scoring a touchdown in the final two minutes, which set a new NFL record.

It marks the first time in NFL history that three different playoff games ended with a game-winning touchdown in...

The Dallas Cowboys remain alone with horrible NFL playoff history.

You see, the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night. This is relevant to the Cowboys, one version of them, because New England was the #2 seed on the AFC side of the playoff picture.

The Chicago Bears are the NFC’s #2 seed and were victorious themselves earlier in the weekend on Saturday night. Chicago took down the Green Bay Packers and solidified the pick that Dallas holds from them as a result of the Micah Parsons trade at number 20 overall which was objectively a...

The Dallas Cowboys received some fantastic news Saturday night, as the Chicago Bears made another miraculous comeback to end the Green Bay Packers season. In doing so, the Cowboys are now locked into the 12th and 20th overall pick with the Packers loss.

Now knowing when the Cowboys will be picking, we will look at three players that make sense for the latter of the two first-round picks for the Cowboys in the 2026 NFL draft.

Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M

The Cowboys desperately need to improve their pass rush over the next few months. Texas A&M’s Cashius Howell...
