After two straight losses, the Cowboys’ comeback story has all but ended. While still technically alive in the NFC playoff race, it would take near-impossible circumstances for Dallas to worm their way back into the tournament. Given that, our rooting guides will now focus on the much more realistic impact that these final weeks have on our 2026 draft picks.

Officially, Dallas could still win the NFC East if it wins out and the Eagles lose their remaining games. But the Cowboys, who’ve gone from surging to slumping, may not even beat the Chargers this Sunday. It’s also hard to...

On Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys practiced again where it’s business as usual with a game against the Los Angeles Chargers coming up. Here’s where the Cowboys are regarding injuries.

The Cowboys’ secondary is banged up once again this week, as many of their defensive backs are on the injury report. DaRon Bland (foot) did not practice for a second consecutive day. Bland has been hampered by a foot injury sporadically this season, so far this week he’s not quite healthy. Aside from Bland, many of his secondary counterparts were limited on Thursday again. Caelen Carson (shoulder/hamstring), Trevon Diggs (knee), Josh...

The Cowboys aren’t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, but they effectively are. It’s even probable that they’ll be officially eliminated before they take the field for their next game. That means the rest of the season is going to consist of evaluations for the players and coaches.

It may seem weird to say given the circumstances, but the Cowboys look to have a bright future. Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look at the advanced data to see what this team really is right now.

The Cowboys saw a minimal decline in their DVOA grade but remained 19th in total...

Well, if you haven’t heard by now, the only way for the Cowboys to make the playoffs is to win out and the Eagles to lose out.

With that said, as you look around the league this week, a few other teams are in ‘must-win’ mode, including a few that we are not used to saying that about.

We know what the Cowboys need to do, but I wanted to dive into a few other teams that you should keep an eye on going forward as a football fan.

All of these teams are in desperate mode, and need a...

It’s been a roller-coaster ride since the Cowboys’ bye week. After three weeks of raised hopes and expectations, it’s come crashing down after two ugly losses. This is a team struggling for answers, so it’s a good time to look at some of the bigger questions.

While the Chargers are still on deck for Sunday, and the Commanders and Giants scheduled for the final two games, many of us are on to 2026. There are valuables to mine out of these final three games, especially if some backups get more playing time. But while we’re curious about what Joe Milton...

The Dallas Cowboys have only one path into the playoffs at this point and it is as the NFC East winner. In order for this reality to come to pass they would have to win their final three games and have the Philadelphia Eagles lose theirs. It is a tall order to say the least.

Philly visits the Washington Commanders this week, travels to face the Buffalo Bills next, and hosts the Commanders in the season finale. Maybe they lose out. Maybe they win their first game. Who knows.

Interestingly the Eagles visit Washington this Saturday afternoon but the Cowboys...

In the aftermath of Dallas’s Week 15 loss to the Vikings, we’ve seen an understandable shift in discussion around America’s Team from 2025 to 2026 and beyond. One of these topics is the Cowboys salary cap situation heading into the offseason.

You don’t need me to tell you that Dallas has some very expensive players on the roster; after all, that was the general reason why they traded Micah Parsons.

While avoiding the massive extension Green Bay’s now-injured superstar received helped the Cowboys out, it didn’t magically fix all their money problems overnight. The team is still paying Dak Prescott,...

With their playoff hopes mostly in the rear-view mirror, the final three games of the Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 regular season should be focused on development for the future.

With a chance to be officially eliminated before they take the field on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, Dallas will likely prioritize giving their young players some chances to show what they are capable of in the coming weeks.

With that thought in mind, today we take a look at three offensive players with something to prove in Dallas’ final three regular-season matchups.

1) RB Malik Davis

If someone told you...

The Dallas Cowboys have several areas where a talent infusion is needed, and free agents can fill the holes, which enables a draft the best player available strategy.

With that being said, at some point, Cowboys fans need to ask a harder question: why does this team keep ending the season the same way?

Every season, the roster looks strong on paper. Then space disappears, games turn physical, and once again, Dallas runs out of answers.

I’ve watched it happen too many times, and I know fans are tired of pretending it’s bad luck.

That’s how I approached this list,...

Dak Prescott and starters will remain in for Cowboys even if playoff hopes die – Nick Harris, Fort Worth Star-Telegram

The Cowboys won’t pull their main players no matter the outcome for the remainder of the season.

As the Dallas Cowboys cling to the smallest of playoff hopes (less than one-percent odds after Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings), head coach Brian Schottenheimer is not planning on making any major changes to the lineup with three games left in the season.

While some teams tend to lean into personnel changes to evaluate the full roster when already...

The 16th week of the 2025 NFL season kicks off tonight in Seattle. The Dallas Cowboys will be watching closely on Saturday to see if they remain alive for a playoff spot.

For the Cowboys, Saturday’s Eagles-Commanders showdown is the one they will be glued to their television screens watching.

Dallas has to hope for an upset as Philadelphia is favored by 6.5 points over a Washington team missing its starting quarterback, Jayden Daniels.

To remain alive for the NFC East title, the only path remaining to the postseason for the Cowboys, Marcus Mariota must lead the Commanders to a...

The tide is turning, though not in a good way. The Cowboys’ latest loss has all but eliminated them from the postseason. The Vikings had been eliminated hours before kickoff, but it didn’t stop them from winning in Dallas. The worst part is that J.J. McCarthy, the de facto rookie quarterback who has struggled mightily this year, had his best game yet.

It’s once again put all the pressure back on defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus and, in some ways, added some pressure to Brian Schottenheimer. A month ago, Schottenheimer doubled down on his coordinator, and he briefly looked like a...
