It’s time for Dallas to start this player

It’s absolutely time to do it and there are no more excuses left as to why it shouldn’t be done.

It’s time for the Dallas Cowboys to start Trey Lance at quarterback.

With two games remaining in the season, the Cowboys have absolutely nothing to play for. They cannot make the playoffs.

They can’t finish anywhere other than third in the NFC East.

At worst, they’ll only improve their drafting position in April.

At best, they’ll figure out what they have at the back-up quarterback position. Either they keep Cooper Rush, keep Lance, or toss both and draft Dak Prescott’s...

Jalen Tolbert details gruesome finger injury, willing to play through it vs. Eagles - Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com

The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver wants to play for the rest of the season despite his injury.

Tolbert left the eventual victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at one point to be evaluated for a finger injury after coming down with a huge reception in tight coverage ahead of halftime.

To hear him explain the injury is to understand just how severe it was.

Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Brandon Aubrey picked up top NFC Special Teams honors after a huge game against Tampa Bay.

The Dallas Cowboys had perhaps their best performance of the season last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That it came just a few hours after finding out that they were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention made it all the more impressive.

It was the kind of game in which Dallas had to play complementary football all the way until the final whistle. Early on the offense took advantage of just about every opportunity and scored on almost every possession they had in the...

Micah Parsons joins rare company in Cowboys win vs Buccaneers

Micah Parsons joins rare company in Cowboys win vs Buccaneers

Micah Parsons joined some elite company on Sunday night.

Micah Parsons came into Week 16 on an incredible hot streak after returning from his ankle injury that forced him to miss four games. The three-time All-Pro registered 7.5 sacks over a six game span with three multi-sack performances. "The Lion" as Parsons is called, simply went away for a while to patrol the borders of the land for unwanted guests, and now he's returned to reestablish his spot as king amongst the pride. Speaking of being a king, Parsons put his name alongside some royal figures on Sunday night.

Cowboys vs. Eagles: Philly falters facing division foe, Jalen Hurts concussed

The Eagles are in a unique spot in terms of getting ready for the Cowboys this week.

Eagles’ defense picking up the pieces after shocking collapse - Reuben Frank, NBC Sports Philadelphia

Despite forcing five turnovers, the Eagles’ still came up short against Washington.

It had been almost three months since they allowed 20 points in a game.

On Sunday, they allowed 22 points in 13 ½ minutes.

The Eagles’ defense has been playing at such a high level it was hard to imagine this happening.

This being a 4th-quarter collapse the...

Grades for Cowboys in hard fought win over Buccaneers

Grades for Cowboys in hard fought win over Buccaneers

Sunday was a near perfect game for the Dallas Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys are back in the win column and just one more victory away from reaching .500 on the year. They pulled out a gutsy win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite being eliminated from the playoffs earlier in the day, and the spirited performance was encouraging, to say the least. Let’s hand out some grades.

Quarterback

This may have been Cooper Rush’s best game ever. The Cowboys knew they’d need to throw the ball more against an elite run defense, and Rush delivered in spades. He hit...

Cowboys rumor: NFL insider believes Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy ‘will be safe’ for 2025

Reports continue to swirl that Mike McCarthy will be safe for 2025.

There are two games remaining in the Dallas Cowboys season. With the team formally eliminated from playoff contention, we know that we are about a batch of milk’s time away from seeing them make some decisions relative to 2025 and beyond.

When the offseason hits the Cowboys will have several things to work on. Extensions for Micah Parsons and DaRon Bland would be great to see early on, and it goes without saying that seeing them be active in free agency when it begins would be a breath...

After further review: Cowboys coaches put on a clinic in 26-24 win over the Buccaneers

Sunday night was really impressive for the Dallas Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys put a damper on the playoff hopes of Tampa Bay by beating them 26-24 in a Sunday night thriller. It was satisfying seeing so much good football from a team that has endured so much this season. Despite several All-Pros out of action for the Cowboys, they played one of their better games of the season. They are one Amani Oruwariye muffed block punt away from riding a five-game winning streak. That’s not too shabby.

There are no goalposts to move in this one. The Bucs are a...

Cowboys Reacts Survey: Dallas gives the gift of wins, finally

Are you feeling any better about the Cowboys franchise?

Once it became the holiday season, the Dallas Cowboys got in the the gift-giving mood. They decided to present their fans with wins, as in four out of their last five games. It could have been five out of five if not for their pesky botched punt block, a giant piece of coal in our stockings.

While it has been enjoyable winning again, the team started their run just a little too late. They were looking for a Christmas miracle, but that dream came to end on Sunday when they were...

2025 Cowboys offseason: Dallas faces a two-player dilemma

2025 Cowboys offseason: Dallas faces a two-player dilemma

It’s the season of giving, but as we look toward the end of the 2024 season, it’s important to remember that the Cowboys’ offseason plans won’t give fans much to unwrap. Stephen Jones has already admitted this fact.

We saw this happen last free agency, as Dallas delayed giving out extensions, costing themselves the cap space to pursue players.

Make no mistake about it: the Cowboys could clear up a ton of cap space very easily, but they won’t do it because they aren’t a top-notch front office, and the moves they would have to make would take some effort....

Cowboys vs. Buccaneers: The good, the bad, and the ugly from Week 16

There was so much good on Sunday night from the Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys pulled off an impressive upset Sunday night in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite knowing they had been officially eliminated from the playoffs, they still chose to play to win and accomplished their goal in a somewhat surprising and impressive manner.

This is the second week in a row the Cowboys were considered the underdog and the second consecutive time they beat the odds. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows though. There was plenty of positives and negatives to take place in this Week...
