Before the season began, the Dallas Cowboys game tomorrow night against the Minnesota Vikings was expected to be a contest between two teams fighting to make the playoffs.
As the Cowboys prepare for tomorrow’s game, those expectations are only half-right. While the Vikings are pretty much done, the Cowboys could be eliminated from a wildcard berth by the end of Sunday night.
A Dallas loss to the Vikings, coupled with wins by Green Bay over Denver, San Francisco over the Titans, and Chicago over Cleveland slams the door shut on a wildcard slot.
A loss to Minnesota means the best...

The Dallas Cowboys host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football this week as they attempt to keep their season alive. The Vikings had been on a four-game losing skid before ending that streak with a 31-0 win over the Washington Commanders last week. The Cowboys, on the other hand, had a three-game winning streak snapped as they were outdueled by the Detroit Lions. The Cowboys currently have a three-game winning streak going against the Vikings, and would love to make it four. Here are five things to watch under the AT&T lights on Sunday night.

As a Cowboys fan, I’ve learned to read between the lines. Sometimes the most important moments of a season don’t come with fireworks or headlines, they come with decisions.
Taking DeMarvion Overshown off a snap count feels like one of those decisions.
This isn’t just about playing time. It is about trust. After everything Overshown has been through, the Cowboys aren’t managing him anymore.
We will see him playing freely, and for those of us who have watched this defense, knows it needs his speed, energy, and consistency.
I can’t separate this story from...

The Cowboys will have CeeDee Lamb on the field this Sunday.
CeeDee Lamb is back in the saddle.
The Dallas Cowboys four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver has cleared concussion protocol and is in line to play Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Friday.
Lamb was concussed on Dec. 4 in his team’s Week 14 loss to the Detroit Lions. With the game taking place on a Thursday, though, Lamb had some extra...

After the Dallas Cowboys finished 2-1 in the hardest stretch of their schedule, they now get ready for a Sunday night game with the Vikings.
Good news is that they had a few extra days after playing on Thursday last week, meaning CeeDee Lamb got those days to clear concussion protocol and get himself ready for yet another major game this week.
Dallas also has a chance to see Trevon Diggs play again this week for the first time in over a month.
Take a look at the rest of the injury report below and see who has a chance...

Suddenly, the NFC East has become a division nobody wants to win.
After ripping off three straight wins, the Cowboys were positioning themselves for a chance to contend in the division, but they lost on Thursday Night Football to the Lions in a game filled with the kind of errors and miscues that doomed this team earlier in the year.
Then, on Monday night, the Eagles refused to accept the gift their rival had given them. Another inept performance on offense led to a loss to the Chargers, the third loss in a row for Philly. That streak feels likely...

The Dallas Cowboys and their opponent this week, the Minnesota Vikings, are both trying to hold on to slim playoff chances this week. Minnesota is relatively healthy. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are starting to look better as the week has progressed. Here’s who we can expect to see on the field per the final injury report of the week.
CeeDee Lamb (concussion) practiced fully on Friday and cleared the league’s mandated concussion protocol. That’s right! Lamb will be available for the big game this weekend. Jake Ferguson (calf) was limited in today’s practice. However, it has been reported that he will...

Every week, we’re digging into the trenches, offense and defense, because that’s where the real action happens. In this installment, we’re shining a spotlight on the offensive line, who’s holding it down, who’s opening holes for the running backs, and who’s keeping Dak Prescott clean. Let’s get to it.

Thomas had a long, tough night in Detroit that really frustrated fans. Dallas chased the game while Thomas was the most targeted mismatch on the offensive line. He...

The Dallas Cowboys had a brief moment where they had tricked everyone into thinking they were becoming some unstoppable force. Reality crashed into them against the Lions on Thursday night, but it doesn’t take away from the positives this team has actually exhibited as of late. Lets dive into the analytics as we prepare for one final playoff push.
The Cowboys are the 19th best team by DVOA, which feels about right. With 14 teams making the playoffs, that means they’re just on the outside of that threshold. It’s worth noting that three of their four remaining opponents all rank...

The Dallas Cowboys are preparing to host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night and it is a game that they have to have if they want any hope of staying alive and reaching the playoffs.
One of the things that has helped the Cowboys find life across the second half of this season has been the improved play on the defensive side of the ball. That group struggled last week against the Lions, but they are certainly playing better than the way things were going for the first two months of the year.
Our discussion prompt today is a uique...

Not much went right for Dallas in Week 14, but the Eagles stopped the bleeding with their Monday night loss to the Chargers. With the Cowboys’ best shot at making the playoffs now clearly in their own division, it’s more important than ever that we dive into the goings on of the NFC East.
Philly’s third-straight loss pulled Cowboys Nation out of a state of mourning, following our own defeat last Thursday to the Detroit Lions. It kept Dallas’ goal of overcoming the Eagles’ two-game lead manageable, especially if Philadelphia’s losing streak is the beginning of a complete second-half collapse....

When I look at DaRon Bland’s season, I don’t see a corner who suddenly forgot how to play football. I see a player, and a defense, being square pegs trying to be shoved into round holes.
Bland is a press-man corner, but Matt Eberflus hasn’t been playing him that way, and fans, analysts, and anyone else who knows football sees this, except for the man making millions to coach him.
I looked up the coverage percentages for the Dallas Cowboys defense, and I was not surprised at all by what I...
