The Dallas Cowboys are fully and blatantly out of things to play for on this 2025 season. The black and blue fact of this was set in stone before the Cowboys even arrived to AT&T Stadium on Sunday, as their playoff chances were reduced to 0% Saturday night when the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders on the road. It was made even more evident and painful by the way the Cowboys lost to the Los Angeles Chargers in their final home game of the season, losing 34-17, getting just one defensive stop and being shut out offensively in the...

The Dallas Cowboys were officially eliminated from playoff contention on Saturday evening and had to play a game the next day against the Los Angeles Chargers knowing that. All primary/important members of the Cowboys played against the Chargers, but an argument could be made that Dallas prepared all week to play things down to the wire in the event that they were still mathematically alive in the playoff hunt.

A new week means a change to reassess and think about things with a different perspective. Perhaps the Cowboys would look at their remaining games and decide to close up shop...

The Dallas Cowboys are set to visit the Washington Commanders on Christmas Day, the penultimate game of the season for both teams. Christmas is on a Thursday here in 2025 and it marks the fourth game that Dallas will have played on a Thursday specifically. There truly is no rest for the weary in the NFL.

As noted, the Cowboys and Commanders are both aware that their seasons have expiration dates in the near future. Washington has been in some self-preservation mode for a bit now as they already shut down Jayden Daniels on the season. It remains to be...

New week, same result. Even with the Dallas Cowboys being eliminated from the postseason, the hope was that the team could find some positives in the last few weeks of the 2025 season. Unfortunately, that didn’t really happen on Sunday. The Cowboys suffered another crushing loss at home, and quarterback Dak Prescott watched the final few minutes from the sidelines.

Aside from pride, what else do the Cowboys have to play for? The Cowboys could win their next two games and at least claim that they didn’t have a losing season, should they end the year at 8-8-1. Regardless of...

Well, unless you live under a rock, you once again saw how brutal this week of football was for injuries once again.

It feels like we continue to say this week in and week out, and why Roger Goodell still wants to entertain an 18th game. I have no idea.

Last year, NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell revealed the players association had been involved in informal talks regarding an 18-game schedule.

If they add this, it will be nothing but a disaster for the league and the players.

Injuries

Just last week, we saw the likes of Micah Parsons...

The last thing I wanted to do this time of the year was talk about the 2026 season, but with how things have unfolded this year, it is what we have to do.

The Dallas Cowboys are guaranteed to finish second in the NFC East. They will face the second-place teams from the NFC North, on the road, AFC North at home, and the NFC South at home for the 2026 season.

They were already set to play the 49ers and the Cardinals at home, so the NFC West does not all but matter that much.

With the #DallasCowboys...

The Dallas Cowboys lost again. For those keeping track, that’s three straight. It wasn’t all that long ago when we were crossing our fingers that this team could fight its way back into playoff contention. Alas, those carrots are cooked. While the game teased us with the belief we might see something good, it eventually faded, and it was more of the same for this football team. Here are 10 thoughts on the Cowboys’ 34-17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

1. It started as a shootout

In true Cowboys’ fashion, the game script started out as one might...

The Cowboys knew they’d likely be in this situation. After their last loss, Dak Prescott admitted their playoff odds were all but extinguished, even though Dallas wouldn’t be officially eliminated until Saturday. Prescott spoke about playing for pride and wanting to finish the season strong even if the postseason was no longer an option.

Perhaps they need a new goal to push for, because there wasn’t much to be proud of during a 34-17 loss to the Chargers.

Things started off positively, with the Cowboys getting the ball first. Looking to finally start fast on offense, Brian Schottenheimer got aggressive...

When I look at the history of the Dallas Cowboys, I’m reminded just how hard it is to separate good players from truly great ones and CeeDee Lamb and Michael Irvin are now in a league of their own.

Championships matter, iconic moments matter, but what about consistency over time? That’s where legends are made.

When it comes to wide receivers in Dallas, only two names have ever reached a benchmark that ties directly to sustained excellence. Those names are Micheal Irvin and CeeDee Lamb.

They are the only two receivers in Cowboys history [to record five consecutive seasons of...

Jerry Jones: Cowboys ‘underachieved’ in 2025 but bullish on future – Todd Archer, ESPN

The Cowboys owner is always selling.

But Jones does not believe that the Cowboys are far from making an extended postseason run.

“We’ve got a team that I think has got a top future, as far as next year’s concerned,” Jones said. “Starting with the offense, starting with that as we stand here tonight. And I think we’ve got the bones of a heck of a defense out there as well.

“And so, I think that as we do things...

We can finally lay the 2025 season to rest for Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas’ season ended before they even had a chance to take the field for their 15th game of the season.

The Philadelphia Eagles attended to that Saturday evening, clinching the NFC East with a 29-18 win over the Washington Commanders.

For the players and coaches, there are only two things remaining to play for. Pride and avoiding a second-consecutive losing season.

That particular calamity hasn’t befallen this franchise since the Dark Ages of the 2000, 2001, and 2002 seasons under Dave Campo, which all...

When an NFL season reaches the point that this one has for the Dallas Cowboys, ginning up some enthusiasm can be tough. Unless you are actively rooting against the team in hopes of getting a higher draft pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. At this point, that does give you something to latch on to when the game is on, but personally speaking, I get very conflicted in trying to root against Dallas. In the end, it just doesn’t sit right.

Anyway, there is no way around it, the Cowboys have two more games to play...
