The viability of the 2025 Dallas Cowboys being a team in playoff contention is on the line as the team plays a late afternoon kickoff from AT&T Stadium for the first time in week seven. The Cowboys will stay in either this timeslot or primetime for the following seven weeks after this Commanders game, and it will take a complete team effort to avoid going into this stretch at 2-4-1. If it feels like things have already reached a fever pitch with how much national and local coverage has gone into stating the obvious about how bad the Cowboys defense...

It is time for another NFL Sunday, and as the weeks fly by, the stakes increase. In Week 7, we’re set for a huge divisional matchup in Dallas that includes both the return of CeeDee Lamb and a major shakeup of the Cowboys’ fantasy football rankings.

Lamb’s absence reshaped Dallas’s fantasy relevance, but perhaps not in the way that fans and team owners expected.

Dak Prescott, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson exploded for perhaps the greatest fantasy scoring stretch of their entire careers. We even saw Ryan Flournoy become a top waiver wire target in PPR leagues.

[Both Lamb and...

In the photo above, two defensive ends who once played for the Dallas Cowboys have since become defensive factors on their respective teams. Over his first two seasons with the Washington Commanders, Dorance Armstrong has 10.5 sacks. Since 1982, that ranks as the tenth most in franchise history for any defensive lineman during their first 22 games with the Commanders. As for Parsons, he is still trying to find his footing on a new defense, but he still manages to be tied for having the fourth most pressures among all defensive players in the 2025 season, per Pro Football Focus....

The Dallas Cowboys welcome their NFC East rival, the Washington Commanders, to AT&T Stadium for a Sunday afternoon clash.

Dallas is desperate for a win after dropping a winnable game to the Carolina Panthers and falling to 2-3-1 on the season. The good news for Dallas is they get CeeDee Lamb back on offense, along with Tyler Booker, which gives that side of the ball even more juice.

Of course, it’s the defense that’s the problem, and this week Trevon Diggs is out. Jayden Daniels should be able to score points. But if the Cowboys can end up with a...

Back in August, I wrote this about the Dallas Cowboys’ Week 7 contest against the Washington Commanders:

“Facing a real possibility of being 3-3 one-third of the way into the 2025 season, the Dallas Cowboys will hit a critical two-game test for the 2025 season.

It will literally be a make-or-break stretch for Dallas. They will face two 2024 playoff teams back-to-back.

Both are legitimate contenders to win their respective conference championships on the final Sunday of January 2026.

*A win against either the Washington Commanders at home or the Broncos in Denver and the Cowboys are still in the...

Cowboys Reportedly ‘Open for Business’ at NFL Trade Deadline, ‘Defensive Help’ Eyed – Mike Chiari, Bleacher Report

Deal or no deal for the Cowboys?

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly looking to wheel and deal leading up to the Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline. According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Cowboys have made it known in league circles that they are “open for business,” and in search of defensive help. However, an anonymous NFL general manager told Russini they believe the Cowboys “should go get a running back.”

Prior to the start of the 2025...

Last week, the Dallas Cowboys had a golden opportunity to right their season and gain some serious ground in the NFC East. They played the Carolina Panthers, a middling team that hasn’t seen much success lately, and promptly lost to them. The deflating loss was the last straw for some fans who have already started thinking about the 2026 draft.

While the Cowboys are not totally done with the hope of playoffs in the 2025 season, they need a miracle among their defense to have any real chance. This week they get another chance to help themselves in the NFC...

The Dallas Cowboys were not shy about using trades, free agency, and the draft to add to their defense this offseason, but unfortunately the results of all these things have only put them right back in the position of still needing lots of help on that side of the ball in week seven. The Cowboys are 2-3-1, will be without CB Trevon Diggs this Sunday against the Commanders, and have more to look forward to on offense with players returning to the lineup (CeeDee Lamb and Tyler Booker) then they do on defense. This is not good news when it...

After last week’s demoralizing and damaging loss to the Panthers, the Cowboys are on the brink of collapse in 2025. While many things are still mathematically possible, and will be even if they lose again this week, Dallas is near the point where talking about playoff chances becomes futile. In this week’s rooting guide, we’ll lean more heavily towards better positioning in the 2026 NFL Draft, but still keep a hopeful eye on what could improve the Cowboys’ postseason hopes.

Thursday night’s upset win by the Bengals over the Steelers was a good start. With no playoff implications in an...

You can feel it in the air: fall has arrived, and the football season is in full swing. Another indicator of the season is when we see navy and maroon squaring off in a Cowboys–Commanders matchup.

It is arguably the most infamous NFL rivalry, and the next chapter in its history will be written tomorrow with this Week 7 showdown.

The Dallas-Washington matches this year will be especially interesting to watch, because both teams carry differing strengths and weaknesses. Dan Quinn may have brought players over with him, but these two squads are very different.

If you want any chance...

The Dallas Cowboys return to sunny AT&T Stadium on Sunday to play their divisional rival, the Washington Commanders. Both the Cowboys and Commanders are coming off their third loss of the season after losing to a game-winning field goal last week as time expired. This game is big for both teams as they look to stay in the playoff race and within striking distance of the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles. Here are five things to keep an eye on in this key divisional matchup between the Cowboys and Commanders.

1. Grounding the Commanders?

Stopping the run will be the...

The NFC East race is heating up, and Sunday’s clash between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders carries major early season implications.

The winner will move into sole possession of second place behind the defending division champion Philadelphia Eagles, a crucial position as the season nears its midpoint.

The Cowboys enter the game at 3-3, struggling to find consistency on both sides of the ball. Their defense, once considered elite, has been gashed all season by mobile quarterbacks and explosive plays.

Offensively, Dak Prescott and company have been brilliant, but stalled in critical moments last week at Carolina.

Meanwhile, the...
