The Dallas Cowboys have made some noise over the last few weeks, leading to a three-game winning streak. In the midst of reaching a winning record for the first time this season, the NFL has opened its fan voting window to determine who will make it to the annual Pro Bowl game.
Last season, the Cowboys had an average year by their usual standards, with just five players nominated. Brandon Aubrey, CeeDee Lamb, Micah Parsons, Tyler Smith, and KaVontae Turpin were sent to represent Dallas.
Fans have a few weeks (December 15) until the voting window closes. If the Cowboys...

Dallas fans, start your engines. In two days, the Dallas Cowboys roll into the Motor City in hopes of extending their three-game win streak and slowing down a speedy Detroit Lions offense. The Lions (7-5) are one game ahead of the Cowboys in the NFC East playoff picture, but have been ravaged by injuries lately.
This past week, Detroit attempted to sign Frank Ragnow out of retirement but ultimately failed his physical. Tight end Sam LaPorta is on injured reserve, and it is hopeful at best that he returns before the end of the regular season. The Lions are wounded...

The intrigue is ramping up by the week with the 2025 Dallas Cowboys, who’ve clawed their way out of the NFL basement and into an increasingly rational playoff discussion. They still have a lot of work to do and may need some luck along with it to actually make the tournament. But no matter how things wind up for Dallas, one question that’s already been answered is whether or not Brian Schottenheimer deserves to return as head coach in 2026.
There have always been, and still are, differing opinions about Schottenheimer’s fitness for the job. Some have supported him from...

Heading into Week 14, the Dallas Cowboys suddenly find themselves in the thick of the NFC playoff race after three consecutive victories over the Raiders, Eagles, and Chiefs.
The team that once looked destined for an early offseason and high pick in the draft now look like one of the contenders for the Super Bowl, but there’s a catch: they have to make it to the playoffs first.
Dallas sits with a 6-5-1 record and ninth in the overall conference standings, just behind their next opponent, the Detroit Lions.
A victory in Detroit on Thursday Night Football would go a...

Fresh off a huge win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day, the Dallas Cowboys wrap up their three-game gauntlet this Thursday as they take on the Detroit Lions. Both the Cowboys and Lions desperately need to win this game to stay in the playoff hunt, so this figures to be a very competitive matchup. With that thought in mind, today, we take a look at three players Dallas will need to step up if they want to defeat the Lions.
1) RB Javonte Williams
Coming into their bye week back in Week 9, the Detroit Lions were riding...

Two weeks ago, before the wins over the Eagles and Chiefs, this would have been the focal point of the rest of the season.
Now, even though they have played themselves right back into at least a chance to make the playoffs, it is still getting to the point where it is fun to take a look at who may make the Pro Bowl for the Dallas Cowboys.
Others will make it, but one All-Pro player for the Cowboys is leading the entire league in voting, so it makes it a bit easier and newsworthy writing about.
TURPIN AT IT...

Life has changed for the Dallas Cowboys over the last two weeks and change as they have doubled up their season win total to sit at 6-5-1 as December football is here. Whether or not they are able to convert it into an opportunity to play deep into next month remains to be seen, but they have at the very least made this thing entertaining which is commendable.
For the Cowboys to have a serious chance they obviously have to take care of their own business, and they are going to have to pick up help across the rest of...

For the last few weeks we have been talking about the idea of trust relative to the Dallas Cowboys. Early on in the season things were very tense in this regard, but as the franchise has won three games in a row they have seemingly earned some of that benefit of the doubt back.
This is what we are curious about today: Do you now trust the Cowboys?
To be clear trust is relative. You can trust them partly. You do not necessarily have to blindly trust them to “trust” them by definition. Perhaps you feel they have earned a...

The Dallas Cowboys are riding high after last Sunday’s win against the Philadelphia Eagles and more home cooking on Thanksgiving against the Kansas City Chiefs, They enter December above .500 for the first time all season at 6-5-1. The Cowboys even had a great Black Friday with the Chicago Bears handing the Eagles another loss. The post-holiday lull comes for us all though, and even America’s Team couldn’t avoid it this Sunday. The Cowboys got none of the help they needed to inch even closer towards a NFC Wild Card spot on Sunday, but can still put both a Wild...

Fans have watched this defense the entire season, and it felt like the same mistakes were on repeat every game.
We watched missed tackles, soft coverage, wide open receivers, and quarterbacks putting up video game numbers. But over the last few weeks, I’ve finally started to see something I haven’t seen all year…
Actual improvement.
Don’t get me wrong, the defense is not suddenly dominant, but it is more consistent. Under Matt Eberflus, it does seem to be trending in the right direction.
Slowly, steadily in ways that matter, we are seeing improvements.
The Run Defense Has Finally Stabilized...

After Week 9 of the season, the Philadelphia Eagles looked to be running away with the NFC East at 6-2. The Dallas Cowboys were three games back at 3-5-1. The Washington Commanders were 3-6 and the New York Giants were sitting at 2-7.
Being the first NFC East team to repeat as division champions since the 2001-2004 run by the Eagles, seemed to be a fait accompli.
That’s a highfalutin way to say it was almost a done deal, but in French to make it sound more highfalutin. Trust me, both of my French and English teachers are rolling in...

CeeDee Lamb’s longest career touchdown came against the Lions, and he’s coming off a redemption game versus the Chiefs.
If there ever is a mental hurdle that Lamb needs to clear, how does he deal with approaching it and finding the way to jump over it?
“Just be able to cope,” Lamb said. “You’ve got to be able to understand the problem, being open to solutions, and at the end of the day acting on your thoughts. I feel like adversity...
