We are eight games into the Brian Schottenheimer era, nearly halfway through the season, and so far there is a lot to like about the 10th head coach of America’s Team.

Even after a miserable performance against the Broncos, the offense – for which Schottenheimer calls plays – has been stellar. They’re second in both yards and points and rank fifth in EPA/play and eighth in offensive DVOA. Dak Prescott is having arguably the best year of his illustrious career, and Javonte Williams is enjoying a career resurgence.

The defense hasn’t been as good, to say the least, but they’ve...

I read something today that I had to take a second look at to make sure that I was not going crazy.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer made some comments on Monday that somehow slipped by me, maybe because I did not want to read anymore about how bad they were.

Yet, he noted that “there’s always reasons to change, and there will be change,” he said Monday following a 44-24 loss in Denver. “I can promise you that. I can show you that. We’ve already had meetings, and we’ve talked about those changes. We’re in the mode right now of...

Another road game, another loss for the Cowboys. This time, the loss ended up being a runaway for the Broncos, who hammered Dallas early and never let up. In truth, this game was over by halftime, and these five plays were a big reason why.

False start kills early offensive drive

It’s easy to forget, but the Cowboys actually started off strong. Trikweze Bridges picked off Bo Nix on the third play of the game, and a deep shot to CeeDee Lamb had the Cowboys in scoring position in no time. Javonte Williams got stopped just short of the...

The defensive tackle play from the Dallas Cowboys in 2025 has been less than ideal. With veterans Osa Odighizuwa and Kenny Clark really struggling the last few weeks, the Cowboys have tried mixing up snaps from Mazi Smith, Jay Toia, and Solomon Thomas to look for a jolt in production. With little success, the Cowboys may turn to an offseason hero in Perrion Winfrey, who the Dallas Cowboys designated to return off of IR.

Winfrey, 25, has yet to play this season for the Cowboys due to a back injury he suffered leading up to the Cowboys week one game...

The Dallas Cowboys have been linked in NFL trade rumors to Cincinnati Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson again. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler was the one to provide the link on Wednesday morning.

Up to this point, the Bengals have rebuffed trade inquiries, and sources have maintained that Cincinnati has no plans to trade Hendrickson right now. The Cowboys and 49ers are among the interested teams, though San Francisco made a move for a pass rusher Tuesday night.

It was Fowler who connected Dallas to Hendrickson a week ago when rumors were flying a bit more heavily around the Cowboys. He...

When asked earlier this week about the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive struggles, Jerry Jones gave a familiar response:

“Help on the way is important. We do have two or three key players and we’ll start getting healthier at safety, which we’re really right now suffering from our depth at safety.”

The comment, meant to inspire confidence, instead highlighted a long-standing problem with Jones’ approach to roster management: his unrelenting belief that injured players returning from rehab can instantly solve deep-rooted problems.

In 2025, that philosophy has reared its head again, as Jones appears to be pinning the team’s hopes on...

The Dallas Cowboys are about to do something weird relative to their schedule.

Up next for Dallas is a Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals. They will go on their bye immediately after, but when they return they will be playing on Monday night once more. That second game will be a road contest against the Las Vegas Raiders and will actually mark the first-ever regular season trip for the Cowboys to Sin City.

Believe me when I say that I know how this sounds, but the Cowboys should win these next two games. I am talking only...

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, Tom Ryle, and Sean Martin.

What was the true root cause of the collapse against the Broncos? Scheme, execution or poor coaching?

Mike: If you slice it all up into a blame pie execution takes the biggest bite. There were too many missed tackles, rush-lane leaks, protection up front fell apart, and drive-killing penalties turned manageable downs into Broncos getting the upper hand. Coaching scheme comes second....

Through eight games of the 2025 NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys look like two completely different football teams depending on where they line up.

Indoors and on turf, they’re explosive — scoring in bunches and dictating tempo. Outdoors and on grass, they’re ordinary, sometimes even fragile.

The numbers are as glaring as they are frustrating: 3-1-1 on turf, 0-3 on grass, 2-0-1 indoors, and 1–4 outdoors. This team was built for precision and speed — not mud, cold, and chaos. And that’s becoming an identity crisis Dallas can’t ignore.

A Full Breakdown: The Surface Split That Defines the Season...

Cowboys’ free agency options, injury updates at ailing safety position – Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com

The Dallas Cowboys have become extremly thin at the safety position.

The current state of affairs of the injured safeties in Dallas and their respective prognosis:

• Alijah Clark (ribs) – 1-2 weeks
• Juanyeh Thomas (migraines) – Undetermined
• Malik Hooker (toe) – IR
• Donovan Wilson (elbow/shoulder) – Undetermined

Thomas’ migraines are new to him, a fact he disclosed to me ahead of the trip to Denver, and he’s working desperately with the medical staff...

While the Philadelphia fan base is ready to crown the Eagles back-to-back NFC East and Super Bowl champions in 2025, the rest of the NFL world remains unconvinced.

At some point, the avalanche of breaks Philadelphia has been getting the last year and a half will turn against them.

Probably about the same time that the NFL instructs its officials to properly call the Tush Push. It’s bad enough all the false starts and offsides have gone uncalled.

What still might save the Eagles is just how woefully bad the rest of the NFC East really is.

Now [the officials...

Tuesday marked one week until the 2025 NFL trade deadline, and it is going to be interesting to see what the Dallas Cowboys choose to do (or not do for that matter). A topic of discussion as of late involving the upcoming deadline is wide receiver George Pickens.

The Cowboys acquired Pickens in the offseason for what was effectively their 2026 third-round pick. An argument could be made that the Pittsburgh Steelers feel some remorse about moving someone as talented as Pickens is proving once again to be, but the subject of remorse is sort of why we are chatting...
