Hot Schotts: Cowboys could be on the verge of something special

Hot Schotts: Cowboys could be on the verge of something special

Brian Schottenheimer wanted to “create one of the greatest cultures of professional sports.” With six games left to go in his first regular season as a head coach, he may be onto something.

It’s been nothing short of incredible to watch the Cowboys these past two weeks. Their emotional victory over the Raiders on Monday Night Football – punctuated by Schottenheimer proclaiming the team made Marshawn Kneeland proud – was followed up with a most-improbable victory over the reigning champions, tying the franchise record for biggest comeback win in the process.

Not only does it mark the first time the...

6 Highest Graded Cowboys Players from Week 12

The Dallas Cowboys came into week 12 needing a win against the Eagles to stay in the hunt for the playoffs. The first half of the game looked as though the Cowboys were trending towards a blowout loss.

After a few fiery halftime speeches, the Cowboys came out in the second half on a mission of dominance.

Winning the game on a last second field goal, kept the Cowboys’ slim playoff hopes alive.

In the win, six players graded out as some of the best on the team against the Eagles.

Here are the top three offensive and top three...

Prescott, Schotty on improbable win vs. Eagles: ‘We believed’ – Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com

It wasn’t pretty, yet the Cowboys come from behind win versus the Eagles was beautiful at the same time.

“Just take it one play at a time,” said Prescott. “We have to find that unique place that I was talking about — being down. We’ve had it almost going with every game with that mindset. We have to win every game. With that being said, you can only do that by winning every play and giving it your best every play. When you do that,...

Eagles snatched defeat from the jaws of an NFC East victory

Eagles snatched defeat from the jaws of an NFC East victory

Up 21-0 with 11 minutes left in the first half, the Philadelphia Eagles had both hands on the golden ring.

A win over their hated rivals, on the road, that would probably end Dallas’ hopes of the playoffs was right there.

The Eagles must have figured the game was over. Who could blame them?

The only problem?

Someone forgot to tell Dallas that the game was over.

The Cowboys scored 24 unanswered points for the 24-21 victory. Suddenly, now 5-5-1, Dallas is riding a two-game win streak.

More importantly, they are still in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Depending...

DeMarcus Ware is a big fan of Quinnen Williams

The Dallas Cowboys impressed a lot of people on Sunday with their comeback win against the Philadelphia Eagles and one of them knows a thing or two about big-time football.

The great DeMarcus Ware enjoyed Sunday’s heroism from the home team and on some level likely wished that he was out there with a new-look Cowboys defense. D-Ware was kind enough to stop by Blogging The Boys this week to discuss a variety of things, but one of the things we talked about had to do with the current state of the team.

When I asked DeMarcus what current players...

Cowboys injuries: Tyler Guyton (ankle) not expected to play this week

What an epic finish in another chapter of a historic rivalry. The Dallas Cowboys overcame a 21-0 deficit at home over the Philadelphia Eagles. With the win, Dallas may have saved their season. Yet, there’s no time to savor the sweet taste of victory over the Eagles as the Cowboys face the AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday. After today’s walk-through, here’s where the Cowboys are regarding injuries.

Bad news coming out of the win. Tyler Guyton suffered a high-ankle sprain against the Eagles that will keep him out for some time. He didn’t participate in practice today and...

Cowboys doing the one thing they can to save season

Cowboys doing the one thing they can to save season

There’s been plenty of debate around here about how the Dallas Cowboys should approach the remainder of their 2025 season. That’s only normal when you go into a Week 10 bye with a losing record. But now back at .500 after two post-bye wins, and especially given Sunday’s shocker over the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas’ sudden surge is shifting the conversation.

When you’re sitting at 3-5-1, the idea of winning out in the second half of the year sounds ridiculous. It looks especially unreasonable when you see a stretch of potentially playoff-bound teams like the Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, and Chargers coming....

Cowboys vs Eagles: Dallas’ new-look defense stands tall in spirited win over Philadelphia

At halftime on Sunday night, for all competitive intents and purposes, the Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 season seemed to be over. Dallas trailed Philadelphia 21-0, and its lackluster first half looked like the nail in the coffin of its bleak playoff hopes.

To everyone’s surprise, the Cowboys climbed out of the 10-foot hole they had dug themselves, putting together a spirited performance in the second half. Dallas tied the largest comeback in franchise history, scoring 24 unanswered points in a win that will live on in Cowboys’ lore forever.

There were many reasons for the second-half comeback, and offensive players like...

Cowboys overcome mistakes, force Eagles into costly ones for franchise-record comeback

All the way back in week one the game was tied at 14 when Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts ran for his second touchdown of the game against the Dallas Cowboys, and the Eagles had scored their third straight touchdown in as many drives. This fast start matched the visiting Cowboys’ fast start, and by the time the Matt Eberflus defense stiffened up enough to get three stops in a row, the Eagles already had the four=point lead they needed to hang onto a 24-20 victory.

On Sunday, Hurts’ second rushing touchdown put the Eagles up 21-0, again capping off...

Cowboys’ defense showed resiliency in comeback win vs Philadelphia

Before the bye week, the Dallas Cowboys defense had become a liability, porous against the run, inconsistent in coverage, and unable to generate timely stops.

However, following a series of key additions and returns, that narrative has shifted dramatically.

The arrivals of DT Quinnen Williams and LB Logan Wilson, paired with the return of LB DeMarvion Overshown and the debut of CB Shavon Revel, injected new life into a defense that had been terrible through the first half of the season.

On Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles, that revamped unit delivered its most impressive performance of the year, powering...

Cowboys vs. Eagles Stock Report: Quinnen Williams, Dak Prescott help pull off epic win

The Dallas Cowboys had no business winning on Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles. But they did. It was wonderful.

At one point, almost in the blink of an eye, the Cowboys were down 21-0 and all hope seemed lost. The second half was an uphill climb, to say the least, and carried what life remains for this season given that Dallas was 4-5-1 at the time. Falling to 4-6-1 would have put an end to even the most optimistic playoff conversations.

Our dreams can live another week though as the Cowboys are an even-steven .500 with the Kansas City...
