Cowboys injuries: Tyler Guyton & Trevon Diggs ruled out vs. Lions

We are officially in the time of year when you are calculating wins and losses. The Dallas Cowboys have hopes for the postseason but need to keep stacking wins and get some help along the way to make the math work in their favor. After today’s final injury report, the Cowboys are going to see a far different Lions team than they would have expected to square off against earlier this season. Here’s the latest on injuries before tomorrow’s big game.

Having not practiced all week, Tyler Guyton was ruled out with a high-ankle sprain. Trevon Diggs (knee) has been...

Cowboys Point/Counterpoint: Playoffs seem much more realistic following two big wins

Cowboys Point/Counterpoint: Playoffs seem much more realistic following two big wins

It was an eventful Thanksgiving, as the Cowboys pulled out a gutsy win over the Chiefs that, at one point, felt like it was doomed for yet another last-second Mahomes victory. Then, a day later, Black Friday yielded a great half-off deal, with the Eagles’ offense collapsing yet again in a loss to the Bears.

Suddenly, the Cowboys sit just two games back of the Eagles and, having split that series, and owning a better divisional record. The path to the playoffs looks a lot less murky than it did just before kickoff against the Eagles. Imagine that.

So how...

Cowboys Thanksgiving Day win against Chiefs officially most-watched regular season game ever

Cowboys Thanksgiving Day win against Chiefs officially most-watched regular season game ever

The Dallas Cowboys are America’s Team. We all know this to be true, not just in a nickname sense but one of captivation as the Cowboys are the biggest draw in the NFL. No one around here is offering this as some point of success, we are simply stating the facts of life.

This particular fact was proven out on Thanksgiving Day by the viewership numbers. Last week’s Cowboys win over the Kansas City Chiefs was the most-watched regular season game of all time in NFL history. Over 57 million people tuned in.

A whopping 57.2 million viewers watched...

Dallas Cowboys: Reading between the lines (offense)

Every week, we’re digging into the trenches, offense and defense, because that’s where the real action happens. In this installment, we’re shining a spotlight on the offensive line, who’s holding it down, who’s opening holes for the running backs, and who’s keeping Dak Prescott clean. Let’s get to it.

Cowboys vs. Lions: Matchups to watch in Week 14

Cowboys vs. Lions: Matchups to watch in Week 14

This Week 14 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions is an important one for both teams in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. Add in the fact that they become bitter rivals in recent years and have a natural hate/dislike for one another, and this game shapes up to be a physical slugfest.

The Detroit Lions may have the home field advantage this week, but it hasn’t exactly served them too well in their last two home games. They narrowly escaped the Giants with an overtime victory in Week 12 and then pretty much got dominated on...

BTB Wednesday Discussion: What HAS to happen for Dallas to win in Detroit?

BTB Wednesday Discussion: What HAS to happen for Dallas to win in Detroit?

The Dallas Cowboys will visit the Detroit Lions on Thursday night and look for their fourth win in a row. If they get it then all of this positive momentum that the team has had relative to a potential playoff push is going to be absolutely out of this world.

It goes without saying that this is what we most want to see this week. The last few weeks have been a ton of fun for the Cowboys and everybody around here wants to keep the party going.

What has to happen for this to be the case, though? If...

Cowboys news: Jerry Jones wants to keep his big three defensive tackles together

Jerry Jones on Cowboys’ best road to playoffs, his defensive line, injuries and more – Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com

Jerry Jones invested a lot in his defensive tackles, and it sounds like there’s no plan to split up the super group.

Keeping Dallas’ interior defensive line trio together

Speaking of Williams, Jones was also complimentary of how he has fit in with, and opened things up for his teammates like Osa Odighizuwa and Kenny Clark. The three of them are paving the way up front for Dallas’ defensive turnaround the last three games.

Cowboys Survey Week 14: Feeling confident now?

Cowboys Survey Week 14: Feeling confident now?

The Dallas Cowboys are rolling with a three-game win streak, two of those games coming against last season’s Super Bowl participants. Now they have to travel to Detroit to face the Lions, a team that is trending in the other direction. The Lions have lost two of their last three leading to a 7-5 record. Suffice it to say, both teams desperately need this game to stay in the playoff hunt.

But the subject of our survey today is not the playoffs in particular. It is more around the belief that the Cowboys organization has things going in the right...

12 Cowboys named to the early Pro Bowl voting list

The Dallas Cowboys have made some noise over the last few weeks, leading to a three-game winning streak. In the midst of reaching a winning record for the first time this season, the NFL has opened its fan voting window to determine who will make it to the annual Pro Bowl game.

Last season, the Cowboys had an average year by their usual standards, with just five players nominated. Brandon Aubrey, CeeDee Lamb, Micah Parsons, Tyler Smith, and KaVontae Turpin were sent to represent Dallas.

Fans have a few weeks (December 15) until the voting window closes. If the Cowboys...

Cowboys injuries: George Pickens upgraded to full participant, Trevon Diggs still limited 

Dallas fans, start your engines. In two days, the Dallas Cowboys roll into the Motor City in hopes of extending their three-game win streak and slowing down a speedy Detroit Lions offense. The Lions (7-5) are one game ahead of the Cowboys in the NFC East playoff picture, but have been ravaged by injuries lately.

This past week, Detroit attempted to sign Frank Ragnow out of retirement but ultimately failed his physical. Tight end Sam LaPorta is on injured reserve, and it is hopeful at best that he returns before the end of the regular season. The Lions are wounded...

No matter how the season ends, Brian Schottenheimer has earned more

No matter how the season ends, Brian Schottenheimer has earned more

The intrigue is ramping up by the week with the 2025 Dallas Cowboys, who’ve clawed their way out of the NFL basement and into an increasingly rational playoff discussion. They still have a lot of work to do and may need some luck along with it to actually make the tournament. But no matter how things wind up for Dallas, one question that’s already been answered is whether or not Brian Schottenheimer deserves to return as head coach in 2026.

There have always been, and still are, differing opinions about Schottenheimer’s fitness for the job. Some have supported him from...
