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...

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...

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...

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...

Every week, we gather to discuss the latest news about the Dallas Cowboys and seek our writer’s perspective on each headline. Welcome back to the roundtable. This week we have David Howman, Jess Haynie, Tom Ryle, and Sean Martin.

What stood out most about Dak Prescott’s performance in crunch time, and how much confidence should Cowboys fans take from his overtime drive?

Dak Prescott’s composure and sequencing under pressure, like the 18-yard strike to Jake Ferguson with seconds left. set up Brandon Aubrey’s 64-yarder to force overtime. Prescott then showed the same level of level-headedness in overtime when he...

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...

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...

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...

Dallas Cowboys

Tyler Booker (OG)

First Round
This is a communication street fight for Booker. If he and Brock Hoffman pass off every twist like a baton, Chicago’s simulated pressure turns into just four guys running in place. Win first contact against length, keep the pocket square, and Dallas can live in second-and-manageable all afternoon. Do that, and Booker doesn’t just survive, he erases the...

In a funny twist, many seem more worried about things following Dallas’ narrow win over the Giants than they were after the Week 1 loss to Philadelphia. While the Cowboys did secure their first victory of 2025, New York’s explosive passing performance raised more long-term concerns about the defense. This, and more, make up our three big questions coming out of Week 2.

1. Was that just a bad day, or a bad sign, for pass defense?

A week after Giants fans were calling for him to be benched, Russell Wilson went off for 450 yards. It wasn’t surgical,...

After a harrowing last-second win over the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys seek to improve to 2-1 on the year. This week, they face the winless Chicago Bears, yet Dallas are underdogs on the road. As we get closer to gameday, who will be available on the field will play a big factor in the outcome. Here’s what we know about the team’s injuries after Wednesday’s practice.

While there was some faint optimism that DaRon Bland would be available Sunday. The Cowboys have already clarified that Bland will be out with his foot iniury at least another week. Therefore,...

The Cowboys got themselves in the win column in Week 2, beating the Giants in overtime in a game that was wildly entertaining television for anyone that wasn’t a fan of these two teams. As for Cowboys fans, how should you be feeling after two games?

Welcome to the second installment of this year’s analytics roundup, in which we’ll seek to answer that very question with hard, unemotional data. Before we dive in, just a reminder that all DVOA-related grades do not yet account for strength of schedule, since it’s too early in the season for that. Similarly, many of...
