Cowboys countdown to kickoff: Top 100 iconic games – Day 81

*It is Day 81 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff. We are looking back at the 100 most iconic games in Dallas Cowboys history. The countdown will leads us right up to the opening game of 2026. Our look back doesn’t depend on just one criteria for our rankings.

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: RB Malik Davis

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: RB Malik Davis

Malik Davis has been a model of perseverance over the last four years. He shows up ready whenever called upon, even as the Cowboys keep exploring other options at running back. Now entering his fifth offseason with Dallas, Davis is again the underdog fighting for work against younger prospects.

Background

Years in NFL: 4
Acquired by: UDFA (2022)

After five years in a timeshare role at Florida, Davis went undrafted and signed with Dallas. While Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard, and Rico Dowdle filled out the depth chart, Davis at least made it onto the practice squad. Though Davis looked...

Why the Cowboys offense could be even better in 2026

Why the Cowboys offense could be even better in 2026

George Pickens will play for the Dallas Cowboys in 2026. Yay! No holdout. No drama. Just fun and exciting offense for the upcoming season. And let’s not forget how excited fans are about a possible expanded role for Ryan Flournoy, who, with each new day, looks more and more like what we hoped Jalen Tolbert would be.

Amid all the excitement for an offense that should once again be near the top of the league, many have lost sight of just how good CeeDee Lamb is. Why is that? Well, last season was a struggle for him, if you can...

How Will Dak Prescott’s Age-33 Season Compare to Cowboys Greats?

How Will Dak Prescott’s Age-33 Season Compare to Cowboys Greats?

This season, Cowboys Quarterback Dak Prescott will play in his age-33 season. No, that was not a typo — that young, mobile kid with the buzz cut just trying to live up to the hype in Dallas is now entering his mid-30s.

Don’t ask me where the time has gone, because I haven’t got the answer.

What I do know is that this season is especially critical for Prescott, especially after such a strong statistical 2025 campaign.

33 years old is no joke, and fans will be asking how much time he has left. If we see Prescott continue to...

Christian Parker has unique way to keep Cowboys defense ready

Christian Parker has unique way to keep Cowboys defense ready

“Pop quiz, hotshot. There’s a bomb on a bus. Once the bus hits 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?”— Howard Payne

Howard Payne, Dennis Hopper’s character from Speed, was all about challenging/taunting Jack (Keanu Reeves), Annie (Sandra Bullock), and the rest of Los Angeles police department. Dallas Cowboys new defensive coordinator Christian Parker seems to have taken a page from the same book, using a similar tactic.

Like Howard Payne, Christian Parker is challenging his players with his own pop quizzes.

The 4 Worst Trades in Dallas Cowboys History

The 4 Worst Trades in Dallas Cowboys History

The Cowboys weren’t scared to swing big with a trade, even if it didn’t always pay off.

I respected that about the front office when Jerry Jones was the real one in charge. I would rather the Cowboys be aggressive than be too scared to make a move.

I also want to point out that aggression and bad aggression aren’t the same thing. Dallas has made some trades that built winners. These next four trades are the ones that burned draft capital, created regret, and still bother me years later.


  1. The Joey Galloway Trade

Cowboys news: How recent NFL contracts could impact Dallas players

Impact: How Jeffery Simmons’ extension could affect Quinnen Williams -DallasCowboys.com

The Dallas Cowboys could lock up one of their cornerstones on defense this offseason.

The Tennessee Titans made defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons the highest-paid player at his position in NFL history, with the 29-year-old signing a three-year, $105.8 million deal with $100 million guaranteed and $35.3 million in AAV, well above the previous high from Chiefs DT Chris Jones at $31.8 million per year.

Who could be next among star defensive tackles to earn a big pay day? Cowboys DT Quinnen Williams’ name certainly comes to...

5 players with the most to gain in training camp

5 players with the most to gain in training camp

Training camp is a time when teams install playbooks, shape out the 53-man roster, and build chemistry and conditioning. For the Cowboys players, some stand to gain more than others. Here are some players who, with a good camp, could change their outlook for the season.

Jaydon Blue

In the immortal words of Cris Collinsworth, “Now here’s a guy…” Here is a guy who has the opportunity to make a big leap on the 53-man roster if he stands out in camp. The RB rotation behind Javonte Williams is not set in stone, and even though fifth-year pro Malik...

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: S Jalen Thompson

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: S Jalen Thompson

Before we got to the draft, arguably the biggest piece in Dallas’ defensive makeover was free agent safety Jalen Thompson. The new veteran leader in a revamped secondary, Thompson’s signing was indicative of the Cowboys’ commitment to giving their new defensive coordinator what he needs to succeed.

Background

Years in NFL: 7
Acquired by: Free agency (2026)

If you didn’t already know that Thompson was the last player selected in the supplemental draft, you probably do after the last few weeks. The recent controversy over Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby has driven him to this unconventional route to the...

Cowboys recent defensive success against ‘big games’ is poor

Cowboys recent defensive success against ‘big games’ is poor

Few things are more exciting for a Cowboys fan than watching Dak Prescott pass for more than 300 yards (and win), CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens notch another 100+ yards receiving day and the occasional 100+ yards rushing game by one of the Cowboys running backs.

Depending on the type of fantasy football league you’re playing in, 100-yard rushers, 100-yard receivers and 300-yard passers can be highly rewarding if you have them on your roster.

300+ yards passing, 100+ yards rushing and 100+ yards receiving are statistical milestones that are correctly labeled as ‘big games’ for the players who achieve...
