Cowboys playoff picture: Week 13 ends with Dallas ‘in the hunt’

The Dallas Cowboys still have work to do to earn a playoff spot in the NFC. Winners of three in a row, the Cowboys are peaking at the right time. They look like a team that can go toe-to-toe with anybody, they just beat the teams in last season’s Super Bowl in a span of five days, but an unfortunate reality is that their digging may be coming from too deep of a hole.

Two weeks ago the Cowboys were 3-5-1 and while they are now north of .500 at 6-5-1, [the first time since Week 5 of last year...

Abanikanda’s Arrival Raises Stakes for Jaydon Blue in Dallas

Abanikanda’s Arrival Raises Stakes for Jaydon Blue in Dallas

The Dallas Cowboys may have strengthened their backfield by signing Israel Abanikanda, a player the Cowboys had in high regard in the 2023 NFL Draft.

The move happened at a pivotal point in the season. The Cowboys are riding a three-game win streak while still searching for a plausible backup to Javonte Williams.

We have watched Malik Davis hold his own behind Williams the last couple of games, but the focus seems to be on building reliable, explosive depth.

That’s where Abanikanda could enter the fold.


Young, Unproven, and Untapped Potential

Fans need to know Abanikanda is just...

“Analytics” needs to be sacked from football

“Analytics” needs to be sacked from football

If you avoided the Black Friday madness and stayed home to watch football, you are not only a person of high intelligence, you also saw a prime example of why “Analytics” has no place in football.

You also saw why this abomination and its supporters need to be sacked and thrown out of the game.

Yes, if you are a proponent of Analytics, that means you might be a dumbass.

I personally blame “Moneyball” for this madness as much as I do any idiot who supports its use in football. That system might work for a candy-ass game like baseball....

Cowboys news: Dallas opens practice window for Trevon Diggs, could return Thursday night

Cowboys-Lions Initial Injury Report: Practice window opens for $12M defender – K.D. Drummond, Cowboys Wire

More reinforcements are coming.

This year, the Cowboys travel to the other annual Turkey Day home team, the Detroit Lions. The Lions generally have a tough offense to corral, so Sunday’s initial injury report comes with a lot of attention on it, as the two sides have intriguing situations to monitor. The Lions lost top wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown in their Thanksgiving loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Cowboys have been playing without starting corner Trevon Diggs for over a month. ...

Nate Thomas proving his worth as Cowboys’ swing tackle

Nate Thomas proving his worth as Cowboys’ swing tackle

Nate Thomas isn’t a household name, backups in general usually aren’t. Despite the lack of name recognition, the second-year offensive tackle has been one of the more pleasant surprises this year and has proved his worth when called upon.

On Thanksgiving in Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs, he filled in at left tackle as Tyler Guyton’s injury replacement. The fact no one seemed to notice the swap should tell you all you need to know about how Nate Thomas performed. It was as if there was no drop off in play at all.

To date, Thomas has played...

Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs expected to practice, 21-day window opened

Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs expected to practice, 21-day window opened

The Dallas Cowboys have been playing much better defensively over the last three games thanks to the addition of defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, plus some others returning from injury. A few days ago, it was announced that cornerback Trevon Diggs, who hasn’t played since Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers, is expected to be back on the field on Thursday when the Cowboys take on the Detroit Lions, which would undoubtedly give them another boost. Per Todd Archer of ESPN, that is looking more like a reality as his 21-day practice window has been opened, and he will practice on...

3 Sunday Needs for the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13

Dallas Cowboys fans can sit back, relax, and enjoy the Sunday action in Week 13 after a massive win over the Chiefs on Thanksgiving. The team’s third consecutive win has revived their playoff hopes, but they’ll need some help to get there.

As it stands right now, Dallas is “in the hunt,” sitting in front of the Panthers, and behind next week’s opponent, the Lions, in that category.

Can Burrow’s return springboard the Bengals?

Can Burrow’s return springboard the Bengals?

The NFL world was shocked late Thanksgiving evening to see the Cincinnati Bengals knock off their AFC North rival, Baltimore Ravens, by the score of 32-14.

Nobody expected the Bengals to win the game, much less win by such a margin.

One of the main reasons for this upset was the return of Joe Burrow to the Bengals’ starting lineup.

The former MVP candidate brought juice to a Bengals offense that lacked it from the arm of the immortal Joe Flacco. Flacco did his best, but it has only been good enough to improve the team to 4-8.
