The NFL season is down to the final four.
Drake Maye and the New England Patriots kick off the fun at 2pm in Denver against the now Bo Nix-less Broncos.
Denver, now led by Jarrett Stidham at quarterback, look to stave off the surging Patriots and earn their first trip to the Super Bowl since 2013.
That 2013 season was a masterclass of offensive leadership by then QB Peyton Manning, and the Broncos have been trying to get back to that since then.
The fun continues at 5:30pm when Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams travel North on the...

The Cowboys’ most expensive decision in the 2026 offseason will come at wide receiver. Do they re-sign George Pickens for what is sure to be one of this year’s most lucrative non-QB contracts? Do they utilize the franchise tag, which would cost them even more in salary cap space? Or do they let Pickens walk, losing one of their most important offensive weapons and creating a new, significant offseason need?
CeeDee Lamb – If Pickens does wind up on another roster in 2026, at least you still have a franchise WR to lean on. While it was...

The Dallas Cowboys did not have the season that anyone expected, and they missed the playoffs despite having a relatively healthy roster.
It is the first season since QB Dak Prescott was drafted that ended in a losing record without the quarterback suffering an injury that caused him to miss games.
No, Prescott was fully healthy, and except for a four-week span where WR CeeDee Lamb was out with a high ankle sprain, the offense remained intact throughout the season.
WR George Pickens picked up the slack, and a revamped rushing attack also helped keep the Cowboys afloat.

New Dallas Cowboys defensive Coordinator Christian Parker brings a fresh new look to the Cowboys defense. Something retread Matt Eberflus did not, even though the optimism was high before the season started.
A coach as well respected by players as Christian Parker should come in and completely change the culture of a defense that looked outmatched every game. Which led to a lack of confidence and that is never beneficial.
The Eberflus-led defense was record-setting in a bad way and most of this record was caused by coverages the players did not fit or were not taught well enough to...

The Dallas Cowboys wide search for a new defensive coordinator is over, with the news coming across on Thursday afternoon that Philadelphia Eagles defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Christian Parker was the man for the job.
Two years removed from seeing their own former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore win a Super Bowl within the division for the Eagles, and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn leave for the Washington Commanders and take them to the NFC Championship game in year one as their head coach, the Cowboys decided to dip their toes in these NFC East waters. They pulled from...

If there is one room in the building that needs a Do Not Disturb sign on its door, it is the special teams unit for the Dallas Cowboys.
Especially when it comes to the kicking game.
Brandon Aubrey continues to hit long bombs and even had a better success percentage in 2025 than he had in 2024. He even ran for a first down on a trick play.
Bryan Anger had another strong year as the team’s punter and holder.
Trent Sieg’s long-snapping is so flawless that one might suspect he’s a machine underneath the outer shell of skin.

Here’s what Cowboys fans can look forward to in Christian Parker’s defense.
What can be expected in Dallas?
As previously mentioned, Parker becoming the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys is the first time in his career – at any level – that he’s been a defensive coordinator. So, it’s yet to be seen what an entire defensive scheme would look like under Parker. He’ll be able to build a defense in his image for the first time,...

The Dallas Cowboys picked a defensive coordinator on Thursday and went with Philadelphia Eagles passing game coordinator and defensive backs coach Christian Parker.
Many fans are excited because of two specific things beyond the on-field success that has happened under Parker’s watch (he was also in Denver when Pat Surtain was developing into a Defensive Player of the Year-level player): Parker is an outsider from the Cowboys organization and he is incredibly young.
With regards to the latter point, it isn’t just that he’s young. Parker is 34 years old, only a few years older than Dak Prescott to contextualize...

Over this past weekend, the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, and New England Patriots advanced to championship weekend, by beating the Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills, and Houston Texans respectively. Obviously, this means that the winning teams did something that the Cowboys have not done in three decades, and even the losing sides that reached the Divisional playoffs achieved something the Cowboys have failed to do since 2022 – losing in the Wild Card round in their last playoff appearance in 2023.
It will be up to Brian Schottenheimer and his staff that’s remained in tact...

The Dallas Cowboys made a decision on Thursday afternoon and went with Christian Parker to be their new defensive coordinator. Let’s stipulate at the very beginning that this move may fail. It is possible, the laws of probability suggest it is even probable, that someday in the future we are lamenting that the Cowboys chose Parker through the benefit of hindsight.
Many Cowboys fans were excited about the Matt Eberflus hire a year ago. Given his previous stint with the team, the thought was that it would translate (although no one anticipated a trade that would dramatically change the fabric...

After casting a wide search and interviewing several candidates, the Dallas Cowboys have their man. Dallas and the Philadelphia Eagles’ passing game coordinator/DBs coach Christian Parker have agreed on a contract that will make him the Cowboys’ new defensive coordinator. The Cowboys had interviewed Denver’s Jim Leonhard and Minnesota’s Daronte Jones, among others, but Parker made enough of an impression to win the job.
Although only 34 years old, Parker comes over to the Cowboys as a highly-touted candidate who has helped launch the careers of many prominent NFL cornerbacks. Working under Vic Fangio has provided Parker a terrific mentor...

We have reached another weekend, the penultimate one with NFL action before the offseason abyss fully begins. As Dallas Cowboys fans it has been a long time since we prepared to watch a game over this particular weekend as it holds the Conference Championship Games… maybe someday.
This weekend will bring the New England Patriots visiting the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Rams marching towards the Seattle Seahawks. The victors will meet in Super Bowl LX in San Francisco.
Who do you think is going to win on Sunday and reach the Super Bowl?
