The Dallas Cowboys did something that they never had during their Christmas Day game against the Washington Commanders. Any time you set history it is always interesting to point out.

You may have missed the “history” as it was not obvious to the naked eye, even if it was technically seen by it. The Cowboys’ history made on Christmas was by way of their uniform combination as they wore (from top to bottom) their white helmets, navy jerseys, and white pants. Basically this was their old school “color rush” uniform with the navy jersey as the middle portion.

This is...

After officially being eliminated from playoff contention less than 24 hours before their Week 16 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Cowboys had to find things to play for in a hurry, and deal with the latest talk around “The Streak” of not reaching a NFC Championship game aging another year. Dallas did not do a good job in either area when they lost to the Chargers, but with a few extra days to find this motivation for their first Christmas Day game since 2010, the Cowboys did something they hadn’t done since their last Super Bowl-winning season and...

The Dallas Cowboys made some history on Christmas Day.

In the first half of the Cowboys game against the Washington Commanders, Dak Prescott found KaVontae Turpin for what went as an 86-yard touchdown. It was a huge moment in the game, propelling the Cowboys to a big lead. As it turns out, it made Christmas Day history.

This game marked the 33rd ever NFL contest to be played on Christmas Day and Turpin now has the longest touchdown that the day has ever produced. When the Cowboys season has gone as poorly as this one has, you look for the...

Neither the Dallas Cowboys nor the Washington Commanders had anything to play for when they met on Christmas Day. Except for pride.

The two NFC East rivals did not have had a playoff berth to play for but they still came to play. What looked like an early Cowboys’ rout suddenly turned into a classic rivalry game.

In the end, the Cowboys outlasted the Commanders, 30-23.

The win moves the Cowboys to 7-8-1 on the year as they look to avoid a second-straight losing season.

Dak Prescott threw for two touchdowns on the Cowboys’ first three drives as Dallas jumped...

The Commanders won the toss and deferred which put the Cowboys on the field first.

Early in the drive things looked sluggish for the Cowboys, but a penalty on the first third down they faced that was called against Washington seemed to wake them up. In fact, they were so alert that when they reached a fourth and short soon after while still on their side of the field they went for it and got it to keep things moving.

It was a stellar drive when it was all said and done as Dak Prescott found Jake Ferguson for a...

Merry Christmas! It’s Cowboys and Commanders time.

This is an open thread for game chat.

Merry Christmas everyone!

The Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders are kicking off the Christmas Day slate and it is important to remind you all that the game is being broadcast on Netflix. Make sure to get yourself adjusted so that you aren’t scrambling when things kick off.

That moment is approaching and is so close that inactives are now out on both sides.

You will note that Quinnen Williams is not listed on the Cowboys side as he is officially active. There is nothing particularly shocking from Dallas’ side, obviously we wish DeMarvion Overshown was available.

As far as Washington...

I know the Cowboys defense has been a roller-coaster in 2025, but the interior defensive line has quietly become one of the most fascinating late-season storylines.

For years, we have seen Dallas’ defense be defined by pressure of the edge.

This season, the middle of the line finally started forcing offenses to rethink how they attack the defense.

Now two games remain, and the defensive tackles carry the weight of the defense in the final stretch.

When you look at defensive tackles, the stats that show if their presence is being felt are pressures,...

Christmas time is upon us, and we’ve all been gifted with a lump of coal in our stockings. This coal comes in the form of the 4-11 Commanders hosting the 6-8-1 Cowboys in an island game aired exclusively on Netflix. It all sounds strange, as does the fact that Dallas is favored by a whopping 8.5 points despite having lost three in a row to play themselves out of the playoffs.

Do our writers share this strange sense of optimism? Let’s take a look.

Show some fight

The Commanders have experienced quite the return...

The Dallas Cowboys really have a little to play for in the Week 17 matchup with the Washington Commanders. Some fans around Cowboys Nation might be rooting against them this week due to the fact another loss will improve their draft position, but it’s unlikely the Cowboys will approach the game that way.

There are certain matchups this week that will definitely sway the game one way or another, but we decided to approach this a little differently this week since both teams don’t really have anything to play for except pride. So instead of identifying certain head-to-head matchups to...

If past performance is any indication, the Dallas Cowboys can expect to find a post-game Christmas Day meal of coal waiting for them on the plane ride home tonight.

The Cowboys are just 14-22 since the 17th week was added to the regular season slate. They are 6-17 when playing away from Dallas.

The Cowboys are 4-5 all-time against Washington in Week 17 games, and won the last Week 17 meeting back in 2019 at AT&T Stadium.

Neither team has much to play for. And we all get the added bonus of hoping Netflix’s streaming service holds up so we...

The Dallas Cowboys play on Christmas Day, but will receive no playoff gift from Santa this season. Eliminated from the playoffs, they are playing for pride. Beating a divisional rival can always get the juices going.

The divisional rival for this week is the Washington Commanders club, a franchise that has struggled worse than the Cowboys this season. That’s a big comedown for Dan Quinn and company after their showing in the NFC Championship game last year.

Two old rivals play with nothing on the line on Christmas Day. We’ll see what happens.

Here is info for the game.
