We are two games into the Dallas Cowboys season and it stands to reason that something about it has caught you off guard.

This can be true in both a positive and negative way. Positively, perhaps you did not anticipate Javonte Williams being so productive for the Cowboys early on (or in general). On the other side of the spectrum maybe you are a bit shocked at just how poor the secondary is and that Kaiir Elam has not translated quite yet.

For our discussion prompt today we want to focus on this specific idea.

**Who is having the most...

Think of the most insane roller coaster you have been on in your life. Imagine if you didn’t have any handlebars and were strapped in by the seatbelts you find on a standard school bus. That is what it felt like watching the Dallas Cowboys win over the New York Giants on Sunday.

The game was filled with drama and storylines from start to finish. The offense seems to be humming, with Dak Prescott finding a spark in his connection with George Pickens. On the other hand, the pass defense had significant vulnerabilities, allowing Russell Wilson to turn back the...

DeMarvion Overshown ‘getting there’ in recovery, aiming to play before Thanksgiving – Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com

Getting DeMarvion Overshown back before they take on Kansas City would be a massive boost for the defense.

Overshown has been off the field for the Cowboys since December of 2024, when he suffered his second season-ending knee injury in as many years by tearing his ACL, MCL and PCL. Ten months later, he’s been doing more and more with the rehab group and is feeling good.

“I’m getting there,” Overshown said. “It’s definitely to a point where we’re getting the...

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, it’s time to give some love to Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams, who seems to have come all the way back from a horrible knee injury that looked to scuttle his career a few years ago.

In the 2024 season, the Dallas Cowboys had just six rushing touchdowns, the NFL’s worst total. To put that in perspective, the Philadelphia Eagles had SEVEN rushing touchdowns in their 55-23...

The Cowboys and Giants rookie clash helped crash Big Blue’s party in the season home opener at Dallas. Tyler Booker kept the run game humming, Donovan Ezeiruaku brought some juice off the edge, and Jay Toia planted his cleats in the A-gaps. Not perfect, not quiet, and definitely not boring. How did they perform against the Giants in what was their first professional overtime game in the NFL?

Dallas committed 12 penalties for 106 yards, but none were on Booker, that’s a good place...

The second week of the season is in the books for the NFL and the feeling of newness has officially worn off. We are knee deep in the season and it is amazing.

While we have legitimate sample sizes to work with, they are obviously still too small to draw serious conclusions from. But this doesn’t change the fact that each team has played over 100 minutes of competitive football and that we can definitely discern some things as a result.

As always, we have done just that by way of our weekly power rankings. Below you will find our...

Previous to the Dallas Cowboys starting the 2025 NFL season, we checked in on the pulse of the fans. Heading into Week 1, the confidence that the direction of the franchise was the right one was low at 35%. Then the Cowboys went out and took the World Champs, the Philadelphia Eagles, down to the wire in an unexpectedly close game.

After that game, we checked the confidence in the direction of the team. The number had shot up to 68% despite the loss.

We’re back to check it again. The Cowboys actually won this week, evening their record at...

The Cowboys found a way to win for the first time this year in a nail-biter against the Giants. Many are understandably disappointed that it took overtime to beat this team, but the Cowboys had several encouraging facets of the game. With that in mind, let’s hand out some grades from this one.

Quarterback

At the start of the fourth quarter, Dak Prescott would have received a poor grade. Not quite an F, but borderline passing for the passer. He had been erratic for much of the first half, and an ill-advised throw got picked off to start the...

Remember when I said to watch to buy into the preseason hype of a Dallas Cowboys defender? Well, after the first two weeks of the season, Kaiir Elam is leading the league in a category you don’t want to.

Elam has given up more receiving yards (232) than any other cornerback in the NFL after the first two weeks of the NFL season.

Pro Football Focus gave Elam a 58.2 grade in coverage in Sunday’s win. To be fair, the entire secondary played an absolutely dreadful game, but Elam has got to put up a better performance in the coming...

The Dallas Cowboys earned their first win of the 2025 season on Sunday, and then immediately went to work addressing a weakness on the roster. After giving up a career day to Russell Wilson and allowing 500 yards in a game for the first time since 2022, the Cowboys made an addition at defensive end with veteran Jadeveon Clowney.

The Cowboys will be Clowney’s seventh team as the number one overall pick in 2014. He also becomes the sixth former first-round pick to join Matt Eberflus’ defense between this offseason to now, alongside Kaiir Elam, Solomon Thomas, Kenneth Murray, Dante...

The Dallas Cowboys are projected to hold, barring any future trades, two first-round picks during the 2026 NFL Draft.

Dallas obviously has their own first-round pick, but thanks to the Micah Parsons trade struck with the Green Bay Packers just before the 2025 season began, the Cowboys also hold the Pack’s pick as well. Dallas also received Green Bay’s 2027 first-round pick and defensive tackle Kenny Clark in the deal.

As the 2025 season rolls on we will be tracking the Cowboys’ first-round picks and updating this post every week. It goes without saying that we want Green Bay’s pick...

The Dallas Cowboys’ defense looked like a disaster in their home opener against the New York Giants, bringing back painful memories of Mike McCarthy’s first year in 2020.

Back then, with Mike Nolan at defensive coordinator, the Cowboys fielded the worst defense in franchise history, a unit completely incapable of adjusting or competing at a high level.

The parallels are eerie, and HC Brian Schottenheimer might be wondering if a similar fate awaits him and this coaching staff unless drastic action is taken.

Some believe firing Matt Eberflus just two games into his Cowboys tenure could save the season.

After...
