Dallas Cowboys
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.

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...

Another week, and another injury report that actually looks way better than the last two weeks.
The Dallas Cowboys take on Washington tomorrow, and that game is bigger game than people realize.
The game tomorrow against the Commanders actually has a lot riding on it with both teams losing last week.
The winner of this game will be in sole possession of second place in the NFC East, and the Cowboys’ offense is welcoming back CeeDee Lamb at the perfect time.
He is finally off the injury report and good to go on Sunday. Not only is Lamb off the...

Of the many concerns about the current state of the Dallas Cowboys, running back doesn’t seem to be at the top list. There are currently ranked 15th in the league rushing for 117.2 yards per game, thanks to a large part to Javonte Williams, who currently ranks fourth in the league in rushing yards (476). The current depth behind him though raises somewhat of a concern.
Williams has pretty much been a one-man show since the season started and has been one of the more pleasant surprises for the Cowboys this year. He’s handled the majority of the workload, only...

Although we’re just six weeks into the 2025 season, the MVP talk is already heating up. With a dozen weeks left to play, the early favorites are quarterbacks.
That’s hardly a surprise.
The last time a non-QB pulled down the MVP award was all the way back in 2012 when Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson won a two-man race against Denver quarterback Peyton Manning.
In fact, in the 25 seasons played in the 21st Century, four running backs, Peterson, LaDanian Tomlinson, Shaun Alexander, and Marshall Faulk, have won the award. The other 21 all went to quarterbacks.
In the last...

The Cowboys get one of their most explosive weapons back in Week 7.
FRISCO, Texas – As the Cowboys prepare to face the Commanders at AT&T Stadium on Sunday, they’ll be getting some of their key playmakers back in KaVontae Turpin.
Turpin has missed the last two games with a foot injury for Dallas. After being limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, Turpin was a full participant in Friday’s practice and carries no injury designation, meaning he’s good to go....

What a difference a week makes.
It feels like ages ago now, but last week the Cowboys were coming off a dominant win over the Jets that restored hope in the defense while offering continued optimism in the offense.
The latter part is still there, largely thanks to Dak Prescott playing at an MVP level, but the defense reverted back to its worst form and cost the team a win over the middling Panthers. Now, all that hope is gone, replaced by the soul crushing cynicism that has marked much of the past eight months for Cowboys fans.

The Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders have turned in their final injury reports for Sunday’s game, and here’s what we know.
First, cornerback Trevon Diggs has been ruled out of this week’s game with a concussion. Diggs sustained an accident at home on Thursday night, and after he was evaluated by the team’s staff, the Cowboys declared Diggs unable to suit up on Sunday. For positive news, CeeDee Lamb and Tyler Booker were full participants on Friday and are set to play Sunday after missing multiple weeks with their respective ankle injuries. KaVontae Turpin (foot) has targeted this week to...

The Dallas Cowboys have been ravaged with injuries in 2025. On Friday, it was announced they have yet another one in their secondary, and it’s certainly a head scratcher. According to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, cornerback Trevon Diggs will miss Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders due to suffering a concussion at home.
Diggs has had his fair share of setbacks the last few years. He tore his ACL in 2023 after two games and missed the rest of the season. Last December, it was announced that Diggs would miss the remainder of the season and would...

When CeeDee Lamb went down with a multi-week ankle injury in a Week 3 loss in Chicago, it felt like the sky was going to fall for the Dallas offense. Instead, we’ve seen George Pickens, Jake Ferguson, and an unexpected Cowboys rising star emerge.
Ryan Flournoy, the team’s sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, finally saw the field consistently and took advantage of the opportunity.
The former Southeast Missouri State Seahawk seemingly became the Cowboys’ WR2 with Lamb and KaVontae Turpin on the sidelines. In total, he reeled in 11 catches for 158 yards in his three games as...
