The Los Angeles Chargers kept the Dallas Cowboys playoff hopes alive.
With Philadelphia dropping to 8-5 after a 22-19 loss in overtime to the Chargers on Monday night, the Cowboys now sit one and a half games behind the Eagles for the lead in the NFC East. Jones was excited about the fact that the chance is still there.
“Real excited. They didn’t have to put any field in the plane, I just flew up here on my own…” Jones said of...

When Dallas fell to the Lions on Thursday night, it seemed like the last hope for the NFC East title for the Cowboys was fading.
The only small slimmer remaining was a total collapse of the first-place Philadelphia Eagles that would allow Dallas to capture the division title.
The Eagles were playing the Chargers on Monday night. But their quarterback, Justin Herbert, was coming off surgery on his non-throwing hand.
A Philadelphia win seemed likely.
Especially when the Eagles went up 19-16 late in the game.
Somehow, the Chargers rallied back. Cameron Dicker booted a field goal to send the...

After what seemed to be a season-crushing loss to the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football, the Los Angeles Chargers cracked the door back open for the Dallas Cowboys to make a run at the NFC East.
The Cowboys still have plenty of work to do, needing to sweep the rest of their schedule that includes the Los Angeles Chargers, Minnesota Vikings, Washington Commanders, and New York Giants, but trailing the Philadelphia Eagles by a game-and-a-half, the Cowboys playoff hopes could very well lay in the hands of old friend Dan Quinn. Over the next four weeks, the Eagles will...

When expectations meet reality the results can sometimes be disappointing. Such is the case with the Dallas Cowboys 2025 season and expectations many fans had for some of the young players projected to have a big impact with the organization this year. For whatever reason though, things didn’t play out the way fans hoped.
Today, we look at three of the young players many fans expected to play a significant role with the Cowboys this year only to fall well below expectations. With only four games remaining on the regular-season schedule and the playoffs looking unlikely, the future expectations of...

It has been an up and down season for the Dallas Cowboys here in 2025. Sitting at 6-6-1 with slim odds of making the postseason, Brian Schottenheimer’s first year as the Cowboys head coach has felt solid, but still lacking.
Let’s be clear, the Cowboys record as of today has very little to do with the lack of Cowboys offense, but one glaring issue has continued to crop up over the last four games. In those games, the Cowboys offense has put up a combined total of 118 points (29.5 PPG). But one area of concern is how often this...

If last week’s loss told us anything other than the Dallas Cowboys defense is still not good, it is that Dallas has another wide receiver outside CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens that they should trust.
Ryan Flournoy had a breakout game against the Detroit Lions last Thursday, and with Jalen Tolbert on an expiring contract, the Cowboys won’t have to do much thinking this offseason.
Flournoy had a total of 13 targets, his most since week five against the New York Jets, and yes, 42 of his 115 yards came on one play, but Tolbert had three years to figure...

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Detroit Lions last week and as a result they have a little bit more work to do with regards to making the playoffs. Thanks to the Los Angeles Chargers, that work appears less daunting than it did on Monday morning, but if the version of Dallas that went to the Motor City is what shows up for the rest of the season then it isn’t going to matter much.
For the most part the NFL is a week-to-week league and this week there are some concerns from across the internet as far as how...

Sports fans in Indianapolis were forced to watch another one of their athletes end a season prematurely with an Achilles injury.
After watching Tyrese Haliburton tear his Achilles tendon earlier this year during the NBA Playoffs, fans in Indianapolis were forced to watch Colts QB Daniel Jones suffer the same fate.
In a tough division loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Colts might have watched their playoff hopes go down the drain when Jones fell to the turf.
With Anthony Richardson sitting on Injured Reserve, rookie Riley Leonard was thrust into the jaguars’ den, but had little success.
Never fear,...

There are four more games promised on this Dallas Cowboys season. While the team has frustrated us at a lot of points this year, certainly last Thursday night, we should hold these close to our heart as the offseason can be long.
Maybe that doesn’t sound appealing to you. It makes sense that you want to see this team reach the playoffs and that them potentially not doing so in consecutive seasons (for what would be the first time since 2019-2020) is the overpowering sentiment. There is no wrong way to feel here.
As we look to the rest of...

I’m not someone who believes in curses, ghosts, witchcraft, or supernatural forces deciding football games.
After watching the Dallas Cowboys for the last 30 years, the highs, the heartbreaks, the collapses that always seem to arrive right on schedule. I can’t lie: sometimes it feels like this team is fighting more than X’s and O’s.
I’m not saying the Cowboys are literally cursed, but I am saying this franchise plays like a team that’s been trying to break one since 1996.
Let me explain exactly why and see what you think.

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, Sean Martin, and Tom Ryle.
Mike: You’re talking to Mr. Positive here so the way to put this is the Cowboys playoff hopes aren’t dead, but they’re on life support. The path to postseason hopes are very narrow. The team has to stack wins immediately, literally zero losses...

The Cowboys kickoff coverage unit is really poor this year.
The Cowboys’ kickoff coverage, however, is struggling mightily. They’re making life significantly harder for the Dallas defense before they even take the field, having given up the fourth-most kickoff return yards in the league so far this year. It was especially problematic versus Detroit in Week 14, with the unit allowing 261 yards on eight kick returns.
On those eight kickoffs, the Lions‘ average starting field position was their own 36.5-yard...
