The main reason why Dak Prescott is a 2025 MVP candidate

The main reason why Dak Prescott is a 2025 MVP candidate

Dak Prescott is off to a very strong start in 2025.

I know, in other breaking news, water is wet!

Prescott is second in yards at 1,881, just 32 behind Justin Herbert, who has 12 more attempts and two fewer completions so far. He is also second in touchdowns with 16, one behind the other Los Angeles quarterback, Matt Stafford.

More importantly, he’s protecting the football.

So far, he has just three interceptions.

None thrown in the last four games. His start to this season has him in the conversation for the NFL’s MVP award.

He’s certainly on pace for...

Cowboys’ perfect target just asked out ahead of NFL trade deadline – Randy Gurzi, SI.com

The Cowboys could use a linebacker…

Multiple names have been mentioned as a target, with one potential fit officially requesting a trade on Thursday. Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson has asked the team to send him elsewhere after seeing his role reduced in favor of rookies Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr.

“Wilson, a third-round pick in the 2020 draft, has been a pivotal member of Cincinnati’s defense in the turnaround. In 2021, two years after the Bengals had the worst record...

Week 8 rooting guide for Cowboys fans

Week 8 rooting guide for Cowboys fans

After a big win over the Commanders and with an offense many are declaring the best in the NFL, the Cowboys are riding into Week 8 with some momentum. If they can sustain it against a very good Broncos team, Dallas will be hard to ignore as a potential playoff team. But the hole they’ve dug for themselves isn’t small, and they will likely need some help along the way to make the tournament.

Granted, the most optimistic path to the playoffs is that Dallas finishes the season 13-3-1 and writes their own ticket. But we’re not quite that homerish....

Cowboys injuries: Diggs DNP, Beebe & Overshown still limited 

Yesterday, we got some exciting news about players who have been on injured reserve but returned to practice on Wednesday. We don’t yet know if they will be activated before Sunday, but its noteworthy how they followed up their return to action yesterday, and their status today. Here’s what we know so far after this week’s second day of practice.

Center Cooper Beebe (ankle) was once again limited on Thursday, as were Shavon Revel and DeMarvion Overshown. Although Overshown was seen with a bulky knee brace in pictures circulating on social media, he reminded fans on X that the brace...

Dallas Cowboys: Reading between the lines (offense)

Dallas Cowboys: Reading between the lines (offense)

Every week, we’re digging into the trenches, offense and defense, because that’s where the real action happens. In this installment, we’re shining a spotlight on the offensive line, who’s holding it down, who’s opening holes for the running backs, and who’s keeping Dak Prescott clean. Let’s get to it.

Left Tackle

Tyler Guyton

(2025 Stats: 402 Total Snaps, 259 Pass Blocks, 21 Pressures, 4 QB Hits, 1 Sacks, 4 Penalties)

Dallas walked out of the Washington win answering an interesting question, if the offense can live with snap volume when the pocket stays mostly tidy. That’s the starting...

The NFL needs to stop this Monday Night madness

The NFL needs to stop this Monday Night madness

If you live on the east coast of the United States and are a fan of the Texans or the Seahawks, the NFL hates you.

How else do you explain not only running two games on Monday night, but starting the second game at 10 p.m. EDT?

Madness would be one possible answer. But I’m thinking that it’s just plain greed.

The marque matchup on Monday night kicked off at a more reasonable 7 p.m. EDT, 6 p.m. for those of us here in the Central time zone.

Two of the top teams in the NFC, Detroit and Tampa Bay,...

Cowboys hope for 2025 is alive and well on both sides of ball because of Brian Schottenheimer

The Dallas Cowboys 44-22 win against the Washington Commanders provided a lot of reasons for optimism moving forward for the home team, now sitting at 3-3-1 and second place in the NFC East. Many of these reasons all flow together as, above all else, the Cowboys played complementary football to support another big offensive performance.

Now seven games into the season, the expectation that the Cowboys offense is going to remain a juggernaut is firmly in place. Dallas has scored at least 40 points in each of their home games, the run, pass, and play-action game all work, the offensive...

Why the Cowboys should proceed cautiously when trying to make a big move before the trade deadline

The Dallas Cowboys won on Sunday, making them 3-3-1 and keeping their 2025 season alive. It was another stellar showing from the offense, with some good plays sprinkled in from the defense. It’s games of this nature that give fans hope, believing that if they can just fix a couple of things here and there, they might be contenders again. And with an aging quarterback who makes $60 million per season, who knows how many opportunities they’re going to have. The time is now to pull out all the stops to win, which is why many people would love to...

Cowboys at Broncos: 2 players Dallas should use more in Week 8

There was plenty to like about the Dallas Cowboys’ performance this past Sunday. Dallas put together their most complete game of the season, blowing out the Washington Commanders 44-22.

This week, the Cowboys face a Denver Broncos team that the franchise has not beaten in 30 years. If Dallas wants to change that, they’ll need to make some adjustments coming into this matchup. With that thought in mind, here are two players Dallas should use more this week against Denver.

1) TE Brevyn Spann-Ford

Right now, it’s hard to criticize anything the Cowboys are doing on the offensive side of...

BTB Thursday Discussion: Why do you think the Cowboys struggle with Denver?

BTB Thursday Discussion: Why do you think the Cowboys struggle with Denver?

The Dallas Cowboys are playing the Denver Broncos this week. That is a kryptonite of sorts for this franchise.

Consider that the Cowboys last beat the Broncos during the 1995 season. That game took place at Texas Stadium though so the last time that Dallas won at Denver was even earlier (1992). The Broncos have not only beat the Cowboys in recent history, they have weirdly dominated them.

In 2021 the Broncos (led by Teddy Bridgewater) won at AT&T Stadium by a score of 30-16. Back in 2017 the Cowboys lost at Denver by a final tally of 42-17. The...
