2025 NFL Week 14: Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Lions

2025 NFL Week 14: Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Lions

The Dallas Cowboys are the talk of the NFL town, and with it being the month of December that is a very good thing.

Winners of their last three, the Cowboys are in a good spot at the moment. Many doubted that they would beat either of the Philadelphia Eagles or Kansas City Chiefs, and since they were able to do both in a five-day span it makes visiting the Detroit Lions less of a harrowing task than it looked a month ago.

That isn’t to say that the Cowboys should take the Lions lightly. Detroit has proven to be...

Sunday was not friendly for the Cowboys’ playoff chances

Sunday was not friendly for the Cowboys’ playoff chances

With the Dallas Cowboys’ back-to-back wins over the Eagles and Chiefs, it gives them a little bit of life heading into the showdown this week with the Lions on Thursday Night Football.

Yesterday was a day filled with watching other teams, hoping they would lose, so the Cowboys could gain some ground in the NFC playoff picture, but as far as the rooting guide, everything that could have gone wrong, pretty much went wrong for the Cowboys.

Winning the division is probably the most straightforward path, but they still have a outside chance at the wild card as well.

BTB Monday Discussion: Who do you attribute recent form to the most?

BTB Monday Discussion: Who do you attribute recent form to the most?

The Dallas Cowboys have won three games in a row and in the process have re-lit the flame of optimism among all of us fans. We feel comfortable dreaming and being able to do so as the Christmas season approaches is part of the magic of football season in general.

It is unbelievable to consider that the Cowboys entered November 17th with three wins to their name and over an 11-day period doubled that. Sometimes things happen that quickly though and that is why all of this positive momentum has been moving so fast.

If you had to attribute everything...

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...

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...

“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-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...
