The NFL season is now in mid-December, and Week 15 will determine the playoff fate of many teams.

For the Dallas Cowboys, Week 15 results won’t eliminate them from playoff contention, but a loss will almost certainly bring those chances close to 0%.

Dallas has another home Primetime game this evening, this time hosting the Minnesota Vikings (5-8), who aren’t yet mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

This Vikings team is coming off of a 31-0 drubbing of the Washington Commanders, so they will not lay down for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys are sitting with a 6-6-1 record, and hopes of...

DeMarvion Overshown returned to the field for the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11 against the Las Vegas Raiders about a month ago, and he was a welcomed sight, to say the least. With four games under his belt, Overshown has played himself into football shape, and he’s seen his production go up each week as well.

Something else has increased steadily over the last four weeks for Overshown, and the that’s the number of snaps he’s played. He’s logged 31, 37, 46, and 47 snaps so far as he’s been on restrictions due to coming off his second major knee...

When I look at J.J. McCarthy’s passing profile, I see a quarterback who can play efficiently when the game stays on schedule, and struggle when the defense forces him to speed up or make long throws.

That distinction matters, especially against a Dallas defense built on the ultimate bend but don’t break platform and pressure up from the front five.

What McCarthy Does Well (And Why)

Short, On-Time throws

McCarthy is at his best when the ball comes out quickly.

On throws under 10 yards, he completes close to 70% of his passes and rarely puts the...

The Dallas Cowboys have been off for a minute after losing to the Detroit Lions way back on Thursday of the previous week. They reconvene for a game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football.

Both teams are technically still alive for the playoffs, but the Vikings are not going to get there and will be eliminated at some point in the next few weeks. The Cowboys may suffer that same fate, but they stand a better chance, especially if the Philadelphia Eagles continue their late-season collapse.

Needless to say, but we’re saying it anyway, the Cowboys have to...

Cowboys’ Trevon Diggs Decision Puts Future In Dallas In Question – Michael Bohlin, Sport DFW

With the Cowboys relationship with Trevon Diggs seemingly beyond repair, are the two sides on the verge of a breakup?

The Trevon Diggs experience for Dallas Cowboys fans has been a rollercoaster ride, to say the least. There were impressive high points, such as leading the league in interceptions during the 2021 season with 11 picks, as well as some low points, most of which came over the last three seasons. With Diggs back at practice this week, there was some hope that...

In 2023, with Mike McCarthy at the helm, the Dallas Cowboys signed an undrafted free agent running back out of North Dakota State immediately after the 2023 draft ended.

Hunter Luepke’s role in Dallas was meant to be a fullback in the mold of John Kuhn, who played for McCarthy in Green Bay.

Over McCarthy’s last two years in Dallas, Luepke started in four of the 33 games he played in. He had 18 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown, along with 15 receptions for 129 yards.

Not exactly on par with Kuhn’s numbers in his hey days with...

The Dallas Cowboys may have dropped the ball last week losing to the Detroit Lions, but don’t expect that to happen in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings. They are motivated to get back to their winning ways and are playing with their backs against the wall moving forward to keep their playoff hopes alive.

This Week 15 matchup with Minnesota is a must-win and with home-field advantage as well as the better roster, Dallas is the favorite to be victorious this week. And although this is a team game, there are certain players who will play a more important...

The saga between cornerback Trevon Diggs and the Dallas Cowboys continues to be a weird one. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said earlier in the week that Diggs needed to do everything the right way before returning.

Despite his readiness to play, Diggs will remain on injured reserve/designated for return list, and he won’t play against the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday.

Diggs hasn’t played since Week 6 when the Cowboys loss to the Carolina Panthers. His 21-day practice window is currently ongoing, but if he isn’t activated to the 53-man roster by next week, he’ll remain on injured reserve for the...

The Dallas Cowboys will play yet another Primetime game when they host the Minnesota Vikings (5-8) this Sunday night at AT&T Stadium.

HC Brian Schottenheimer and his team are fighting for their playoff lives, and the easiest path to the postseason tournament is to control what they can control.

That means the Cowboys must lock in and win each of their last four games, starting with the J.J. McCarthy-led Vikings.

Football is all about matchups, as every NFL team has the talent to win on any given Sunday, regardless of the amount of blue-chip talent.

Don’t let the Vikings record...

As we enter Week 15 of the NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys find themselves in the thick of the NFC Playoff picture.

After a loss at the Detroit Lions, the Cowboys find themselves on the outside looking in, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Any chance at a playoff berth hinges on Dallas winning all four of their final games, but unfortunately, they also need help from NFC foes.

With four weeks left in the season, the scenarios are still as solid as ice cream in the Texas sun.

There are still so many possibilities, but...

In this episode of Between the Lines we flip the attention to the defensive line, where chaos meets strategy. This is where the Cowboys’ games are won and lost so let’s dive in.

Sunday night’s matchup between Dallas and Minnesota features two teams on the brink of being eliminated from the playoffs. The Cowboys have a better foothold at this point, but the Vikings aren’t sailing away quietly.
