Madden is calling for the Dallas Cowboys to lose on Sunday night.

The Dallas Cowboys are returning home to AT&T Stadium on Sunday night and still looking for their second win in the building this season. At least they have already found the first.

If the Cowboys do want to win their fourth overall game in their last five, then they are going to have to go through a rather tough and resilient Tampa Bay Buccaneers team. While the Cowboys have won three of their last four, the Bucs have won all of their last four. Tampa is riding high...

Rico Dowdle and CeeDee Lamb figure to have big days against the Buccaneers.

The Dallas Cowboys took care of the Carolina Panthers last week with relative ease. In many ways it was arguably their most dominant performance of the season. From an offensive standpoint, a big reason for this was how both CeeDee Lamb and Rico Dowdle showed up. Both Lamb and Dowdle had big contributions that helped lift Dallas on top.

You will likely not be shocked to learn that both Lamb and Dowdle over-delivered on their projected statistics from NFL Pro that we talked about last week.

The Cowboys injury report for Friday

The Dallas Cowboys play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the Sunday before Christmas. For both teams this week, the injury report has been as long as a list for Santa. After Friday, both teams appear to be better, but some questions linger. In the final injury report, here’s what we can expect regarding who might play this Sunday.

To win, the Cowboys must lean on the running game and CeeDee Lamb. Luckily for Dallas Lamb (shoulder), Rico Dowdle (knee), Cooper Beebe (concussion), and Tyler Smith (ankle) practiced in a full capacity on Friday. All...

What would you say is the biggest thing you have learned about the Cowboys lately?

The Dallas Cowboys got back to their winning ways with a 30-14 beatdown of the Carolina Panthers. For the first time with quarterback Cooper Rush at the helm, the Cowboys scored three offensive touchdowns and never let the Panthers in the game. Rico Dowdle continued his hot streak with his third consecutive game over 100 yards. They only had one reception a piece, but Jalen Tolbert and Jalen Brooks both scored touchdowns in Week 15.

All-Pro Micah Parsons is simply back in his bag after...

Sunday night should be interesting.

Are the Dallas Cowboys bad at... being a bad football team? This will be a real point of discussion going into Sunday night as Dallas tries for a second straight upset win against a NFC South opponent. After beating the Carolina Panthers 30-14 as road underdogs in Week 15, the Cowboys will now set their sights higher on a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that leads the division at 8-6. It will be the first of the three remaining games the Cowboys have this season against a winning opponent currently in a playoff spot, with the...

The Cowboys defense is playing really well right now.

Previously we broke down the offenses for this week’s upcoming game for the Dallas Cowboys. Now we dive back into the position battleground, this time looking at how the defensive positions and special teams stack up against each other.

DEFENSIVE LINE

Besides to Rico Dowdle breaking out, the next big thing on this Cowboys roster that has really impressed as the season has progressed is the Cowboys defensive line. Osa Odighizuwa has played so well recently he may have priced himself out of Dallas’ price range to return next season....

It’s nearing the end of the 2024 regular season, and there is a laundry list of items that teams go through to start preparing for next season. The Dallas Cowboys have less than a 1% chance of making it to the postseason, so that preparation can be crossed off the list.

One of the listed items for team front offices is to evaluate talent and see if there are any players who deserve an early extension. If you ask me, there are a handful of players that I would love to see the Cowboys lock up for the future before...

Here is what we will be paying attention to on Sunday night.

The last time the Dallas Cowboys played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers it was fantastic. Dak Prescott threw for four touchdowns and the Cowboys won convincingly sending Dallas into the divisional round of the playoffs and sending Tom Brady into retirement.

Of course, it’s been almost two years since that wonderful game and things are different now. Both the aforementioned quarterbacks will not be playing in this one. The Bucs are trying to remain atop the NFC South while the Cowboys are trying to finish the season strong. It...

The Dallas Cowboys scored a big win against the Carolina Panthers, and with the win, they moved down in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Cowboys showed life on both sides of the ball in the win, and it was a welcome site. The Panthers may not be the best team in the NFL, but they were playing good football until they faced the Cowboys.

A win means the Dallas Cowboys moved from 12th to 14th in the 2025 NFL Draft. Two spots may not seem like a big move to some, but it could mean missing out on big-time players....

Sunday night feels big.

Things have been looking up for the Cowboys lately, winning three of their last four and keeping a razor thin sliver of hope alive for the playoffs. That could all change this week, though, when they take on the Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football.

There are two ways the Cowboys could be officially eliminated from postseason contention this week. If the Commanders beat or even tie the Eagles in their 1 PM ET matchup on Sunday, that would do it. Philadelphia is currently a 3.5-point favorite on the road, so it’s going to be close in...

Rico Dowdle is on a roll in Dallas, especially in the month of December.

In the last three weeks, Dowdle has piled up 392 rushing yards. That’s nearly half of his season total of 880 yards rushing.

In the six games since Dak Prescott went down with a season-ending hamstring injury, Dowdle has 559 yards.

He had just 321 rushing yards in the previous eight games. Prescott’s injury forced Mike McCarthy to rediscover the running game.

Next year, when Prescott returns, and either McCarthy comes back or whoever his replacement will be, the Cowboys need to remember they can run...

The latest in Dallas Cowboys news heading into the weekend.

Micah Parsons ends all speculation on possible holdout, future with Cowboys - Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com

Micah Parsons still plans to attend offseason practices with the team, regardless of his contract extension status.

“I’ve got to be around the guys,” he said. “There’s going to be rookies, there’s going to be free agents — guys that come here — you don’t know who’s going to be there, so there’s a chemistry part and people know what you can do, but people also got to see it from a leader...
