A loss by the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night has kept the Dallas Cowboys in the playoff hunt, at least for one more week. This week, Dallas will look to bounce back from a loss in Detroit against another NFC North opponent, the Minnesota Vikings.

Before the two teams square off on Sunday night, here are three bold predictions for the matchup.

1) Cowboys’ defense bounces back in a big way, forcing J.J. McCarthy into his fifth multi-interception game of the year

J.J. McCarthy’s NFL career has gotten off to a rough start. After being selected with the 10th pick...

All football fans know that the 2025 season is one of the most wide-open years in recent memory. It is mid-December, and it feels like every team is in the race for the playoffs, and anybody can jump out to grab the NFL MVP award.

In terms of that top honor an individual player can get, we’re likely just a week or two away from the race finally consolidating into something concrete.

The MVP hunt has yet to see a heavy favorite this season, but it has had consistency for quite a while at this point.

Los Angeles and Foxborough...

The last few days have been full of all sorts of optimism around the Dallas Cowboys and their potential path to the playoffs, but all of that can completely fall apart if they don’t take care of business themselves.

Up first for the Cowboys in this sense is the Minnesota Vikings. The Cowboys are huge favorites, but they were favored against Arizona, too. And against the Panthers. And against the Bears. You get the point here.

Simply put… this is the NFL and the same NFL where last week the New Orleans Saints traveled to play and successfully defeated the...

For the final time this season, the Dallas Cowboys play in primetime on Sunday Night Football in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings. Remarkably, the Cowboys second straight primetime game and third big stage in a row when considering Thanksgiving versus the Chiefs still carries a lot of meaning towards making a playoff push despite last Thursday’s loss at the Lions. The Cowboys have the Eagles’ third straight loss on Monday night at the Chargers to thank for this.

We say all the time that the NFL is a week-to-week league. This has never been more true than a 2025...

When I heard Brian Schottenheimer’s comments about Trevon Diggs’ potential return, the statement analyst in me immediately went to work.

Coaches often reveal more in their phrasing than they do in their intentions, and this quote didn’t sound like a routine injury update. It sounded cautious, non-committal, and layered with signals.

I see signals that Diggs’ future in Dallas may be uncertain, and the team isn’t willing to publicly admit it.

The full quote:

“He’s still in the ramp-up period. I think he does feel healthy; I know he wants to play, but at the end of the day,...

Schottenheimer: CB Trevon Diggs must show ‘consistency in everything’ before returning – Calvin Watkins, Dallas Morning News

The Trevon Diggs saga continues to be a weird one.

FRISCO — Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer hinted Wednesday that cornerback Trevon Diggs needs to do more in his rehab work to get taken off the injured list, where he’s been since Oct. 25.

Diggs has missed the last seven games due to soreness in both knees and concussion recovery. Diggs is no longer in concussion protocol but is rehabbing from knee issues.

He was limited in Wednesday’s practice....

Only 23 teams, 11 in the NFC and 12 in the AFC, remain alive for the playoffs after 14 weeks of the NFL season.

Of the nine teams on the outside looking in, three of them pretty much have as their only hope, somehow rallying to win their division.

Carolina is tied with Tampa Bay, but currently loses the tie-breaker in the NFC. In the AFC, both Baltimore and Cincinnati, at 6-7, have little hope at a wildcard berth.

But both teams trail Pittsburgh by just a game.

Ironically, the team currently in the cat-bird seat in the AFC North...

There may be some vacancies in the Cowboys coaching staff after the season. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has been on a hot seat practically the whole season and even special teams coordinator Nick Sorensen is coming under increased scrutiny.

The Cowboys have not been averse to bringing back coaches that have coached in Dallas before. Matt Eberflus (DAL 2011-17) is just the most recent example, but before him Mike Zimmer (DAL 1994-2006) was brought back for a one-year stint in 2024, Aden Durde was a coaching intern from 2014-2015 before coming back as a defensive line coach from 2021-2023, Dave...

The emotional rollercoaster of the NFL season rages on. After losing to the Detroit Lions last Thursday, the Cowboys still have a chance in the division, but they must quickly rebound during their ten-day layoff for Sunday night’s game against the visiting Minnesota Vikings. The Cowboys have managed injuries to key players all season and navigated them well, but it appears things are looking up. Here’s the latest news we have on the health of the team.

CeeDee Lamb (concussion) was limited at practice on Wednesday. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that Lamb is improving but has a few more...

Dallas Cowboys

Tyler Booker (OG)

First Round

Tyler Booker’s night in Detroit was the game of a rookie guard doing his job while the waves kept coming. On the road in a loud building, he logged every snap and held his own. He was charged with zero sacks or penalties and just two pressures allowed across 82 reps, even as Dallas as a team took...

It is an interesting time for the Dallas Cowboys, and for fans of the team. The Cowboys roller-coaster season started with some positives, including a closer-than-expected game on the road against the Eagles, and an unexpected tie with the Packers. At one point they were 2-2-1, and had hope. Then came the losses, including a brutal one at home against the hapless Cardinals.

Heading into the bye, it felt like the season was over except for just playing out the games. Then came the wins over the Eagles and the Chiefs, and hope was renewed. Only to be followed by...

The Dallas Cowboys have four games left in the 2025 season, and it has been a roller-coaster of a season, but with a slim chance to win the NFC East, these last few games are huge for a few players that this team may need heading into 2026.

I have three current Cowboys players that I think need to finish this season strong to earn a new deal next season, and yes, I know it sucks. We are already looking ahead to next season.

You can agree to disagree. That is why these are my thoughts and not yours. If...
