The Dallas Cowboys have played two games since being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, and every time they have spoken about their situation they have noted that they want to win their remaining games.

Through those two opportunities the Cowboys have split the games in question, and after Sunday’s finale against the New York Giants will be squarely on one side of the line. Given the way the overall season has gone a win would put the Cowboys above .500 through the games in question, but it would slot them in at .500 overall on the season as a whole...

With the Cowboys’ season now deep into rigor mortis, many have already started focusing on the 2026 offseason. What does Dallas need to add or change to make next year better than this one? It’s a multi-faceted conversation, but no one topic has more impact on the others than whether or not the team re-signs WR George Pickens.

With 2025 being the last year on his original Steelers contract, Pickens is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this March. After 92 catches, 1,420 yards, and nine touchdowns this year, plus whatever he tacks on in the finale, and his...

You didn’t think week 18 of the NFL would have anything but pointless football games, did you? Well, that was a strong possibility heading into the games last week.

Yet, here we are, in the last week of the season, the NFL got exactly what they wanted, and that is three games that will determine a division winner and also has major seeding on the line.

The NFL needed this, and they got it. Let’s take a look at the three games that have the most on the line this week; the playoffs for the NFL and viewing purposes start...

Malik Davis reflects on first career 100 yard game: ‘It’s a great feeling’ – Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com

With Javonte Williams set to hit free agency, Malik Davis is about to become an even more important name to remember in the Cowboys backfield.

Then Davis re-signed with the Cowboys a day before their first preseason game, and there was something different.

“He was a different person,” Schottenheimer said. “The way he approached everything from the preparation, from the professionalism, everything was different. And that’s the power of being on the outside looking in, and the day he...

When the schedule makers in the NFL set the Christmas Day games, they clearly thought the NFC East title would be on the line.

The same thought probably ran through their heads with the other two games involving NFC North and AFC West rivals.

While the games all lacked the divisional drama they’d sought, the Cowboys-Commanders showdown delivered some fireworks. Especially in the record books.

Meanwhile, Sunday’s game between the Giants and Raiders had plenty of drama.

Unfortunately, most of it came long before Sunday.

Both teams started scratching starters that seemed otherwise healthy enough to play. Maxx Crosby clearly...

The Dallas Cowboys have a single game left on this season and have gone on record in wanting to win it to avoid a losing campaign. In case you are unaware, a win would give them an 8-8-1 record which is .500 and technically not a losing record. Whatever.

On the subject of records, tight end Jake Ferguson is chasing one from an individual standpoint. Last week Ferguson hauled in his eighth touchdown of the season and that means he trails the single-season record for touchdowns by a tight end in team history by one entering the finale.

Closing out Week 17 with the Rams and the Falcons.

This is an open thread for game chat.

It’s the Maxx Crosby trade debate, part deux! Yes, that’s right, we’ve been through this before, as this was first discussed when it was believed that the Las Vegas Raiders defensive end could be on the block before the trade deadline. The Raiders quickly jumped in and said they had no interest in shipping off their star edge rusher, crushing the hopes and dreams of Cowboys Nation. Soon thereafter, the Cowboys traded for star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, and suddenly, fans were happy again. That’s the effect of landing a shiny new toy on the defensive line.

Fast forward to...

The Cowboys aren’t likely to make any coaching staff changes until the regular season ends, but fans are already putting together wish lists at defensive coordinator. We previously highlighted nine coaches who would signify a meaningful upgrade, but with one more week to go until Black Monday, here are nine more names to know.

Steve Wilks

The only one on this list who’s officially available, Steve Wilks began the season as the Jets defensive coordinator but was fired after a Week 14 loss to the Jaguars. Wilks’ defense had not been performing well this season, but it was also...

Each year the NFL makes a big production about ‘releasing the schedule’ in April. But thanks to the NFL’s scheduling formula, we already know 15 of the 17 opponents the Cowboys will face next year, just not when and in what sequence. And with that info, we can take a quick look at what the 2026 schedule will look like for the Cowboys.

In 2026, the Cowboys will play three home games and three away games against the NFC East; they will play four games against the NFC West and four games against the AFC South; they’ll play the second-placed...

It has been over a week since the Dallas Cowboys learned that they were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention and in that time we have seen them play two games. They won one and lost one.

A .500 lifestyle is on the line during the team’s final game in this stretch and final on the season as a whole. The Cowboys are currently 7-8-1 and a win on the road against the New York Giants would put them at 8-8-1, perfectly even, something that sounds impossible given that there are currently 17 games in an NFL regular season. The Cowboys...

There are currently 16 games played in a full week of the NFL’s 17-week schedule.

Week 17’s slate had four games with no meaning toward the playoffs – either qualifying or seeding. Next week will see several more that will have no real meaning.

In fact, we’re seeing teams shutting down players with games left to play. Even when they don’t appear that seriously injured.

And don’t even get the NFL started on its “tanking” teams.

The NFL shifted to a 16-week schedule in 1978 and kept it until 1990, when the 16-games over-17-week schedule was born.

One of the...
