The Dallas Mavericks finished 12th in the Western Conference last season after major injuries to Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving saw them finish the regular season with a 26-56 record. Now, with Irving set to return for the start of the new campaign, critics have not been too kind to Dallas as far as season […]

Dereck Lively II should undoubtedly be a part of the Dallas Mavericks' young core, but extending him at this time would've been too risky.
The Dallas Cowboys cannot let the return of DeMarvion Overshown disrupt the rise of Jaishawn Barham in Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season vs. the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Dallas Cowboys fall 23-13 to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, but their defense shows promising signs. After allowing Packers conversions on 9 of 10 third-down attempts in the first half, the unit tightens up, surrendering only 2 of 8 in the second half and limiting Green Bay to six points after halftime. Run defense shines, holding Green Bay to 57 yards (2.2 ypc), with standout performances from Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, Elijah Garcia and Rashan Gary. Dee Winters records the team's lone interception, while Joey Porter Jr. and rookie Malachi Lawrence deliver clutch coverage plays. The defensive improvement offers a hopeful foundation despite the loss.
Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon praised Packers safety Evan Williams after his standout performance in the 23‑13 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 11. Williams intercepted Dak Prescott at the Green Bay 3‑yard line, returned it 17 yards and helped spark a 15‑play, 73‑yard drive that ended with a Trey Smack field goal. He also stopped Javonte Williams on a third‑and‑4. Gannon highlighted Williams’s reliability, intelligence and film study, noting he isn’t caught off guard by any play. The Packers (4‑2) now face a high‑scoring Detroit Lions next Sunday.
Brian Schottenheimer's losing record and risk of being fired mid-season could make him a rarity among Cowboys head coaches.
The Detroit Lions’ upcoming showdown with the Green Bay Packers is set against Green Bay’s three‑game winning streak, highlighted by blowout victories over the Bears and Cowboys. In the Cowboys game, the Packers' run game faltered—just 42 yards on 17 carries in the second half—yet their defense shone, with safeties Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams combining for five interceptions and relentless pressure on the pass. Jordan Love excelled against blitzes, going 8‑for‑12 for 100 yards and a sack, while the Packers continue to profit from a league‑leading 135 yards gained from defensive pass‑interference penalties. The Lions, meanwhile, rank last in EPA on deep passes and surrender the second‑most deep‑ball yards per game, making Green Bay’s deep‑ball strategy a critical test. Key factors for Detroit: containing Love’s blitz‑friendly efficiency and coping with Green Bay’s versatile secondary.
After being waived, it appears Walter Clayton Jr. is likely to garner attention from the Dallas Mavericks.
Matt LaFleur had a strong endorsement for Jordan Love after the Green Bay Packers secured a 23-13 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The head coach’s emphatic assessment reflected his confidence in the quarterback, who helped guide Green Bay to another important win. LaFleur used a brief but memorable description to express his admiration for Love’s […]

The Dallas Cowboys could add a quarterback after losing Joe Milton III to the Philadelphia Eagles, which leaves them with only two on the roster. One injury to monitor is Dak Prescott, who suffered an apparent rib injury in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers after taking a shot to the chest. Prescott finished […]

While there's still hope for Morez Johnson Jr., Brayden Burries has been far more impressive than Johnson so far, and would've fit the Dallas Mavericks better positionally. Dallas' decision to pass on Burries in the draft could come back to bite them.
The Dallas Cowboys waive former fifth‑round pick cornerback Caelen Carson, opening a roster spot for safety Juanyeh Thomas, who returns to the 53‑man squad after weeks on the practice squad. Thomas, a special‑teams standout with 62 tackles and five pass breakups over three seasons, replaces Carson, who logged 45 tackles in 17 games since being drafted in 2024. The move comes as Dallas battles secondary depth and a dwindling run game—ranked 31st in rushing attempts this season after a pass‑heavy loss to the Packers. Meanwhile, cornerback DeMarvion Overshown is set to return from injury ahead of the Eagles matchup on Monday Night Football.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. hasn't looked as good as fellow CB Ameer Speed.
Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich praised rookie wideout Savion Williams after his debut in Green Bay’s 23‑13 victory over Dallas, saying the 6‑4, 220‑lb player is “as talented as guys we have on this team.” Williams, activated from IR on Oct. 24, showed a big‑play third‑down catch, though he’s still mastering route running. Stenavich highlighted the dramatic third‑down turnaround (nine of ten conversions early) and Jordan Love’s “spectacular throws.” He also dismissed concerns over Matthew Golden’s three drops, trusting the veteran’s ability. The Packers head to Detroit next, aiming to build on the momentum.
Caleb Downs has delivered more highs than lows early in his Cowboys career. But why hasn't he looked like a superstar yet?
Mikko Rantanen nets a hat‑trick, including a 3:52‑of‑overtime power‑play backhand, to lift the Dallas Stars to a 3‑2 win over the Boston Bruins on Oct. 21, 2026. The victory marks Dallas’s third straight win and improves its homestand record to 5‑3‑1, while Boston suffers its first loss since Oct. 5, ending a five‑game streak. Rantanen’s third goal ties him with Olli Jokinen for third‑most goals by a Finnish player (321). Jake Oettinger posts 18 saves; Jason Robertson adds two assists. Boston’s Jeremy Swayman stops 22 of 25 shots, but the Bruins go 0‑for‑4 on the power play.
On Sunday, the Packers intercepted a pass from the Cowboys after Dallas receiver CeeDee Lamb slipped, but quarterback Jordan Love’s own interception also stems from a mis‑run route. Coach Matt LaFleur says slot receiver Matthew Golden was supposed to run a “Lookie” option route—initial slant with an out as a backup—but he broke outside, letting a linebacker undercut the ball. The faulty route disrupted timing, allowing Brandon Cisse to pick off the throw. The article breaks down the play’s motion, the Lookie concept, and why the mis‑execution hurt Love’s pass.
The Cowboys have done some roster shuffling, including signing Joe Milton's replacement and waiving a former fifth-round pick.
The Dallas Cowboys made three roster moves Tuesday, as they prepare for their Week 7 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday. Dallas promoted safety Juanyeh Thomas to the active roster, waived cornerback Caelen Carson and signed quarterback Kyle Trask to the practice squad following Joe Milton III’s departure to Philadelphia. Thomas’ promotion came after […]

Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich warns that quarterback Jordan Love is taking too many hits and blames protection lapses by the O‑line and running backs. After Love’s 276‑yard, two‑score performance in a 23‑13 win over Dallas, Stenavich says the team must tighten twist mechanics and improve coordination before facing a Lions front that ranks near the bottom in points allowed, featuring pass‑rushers D.J. Wonnum and Aidan Hutchinson. The Lions, coming off a bye, will test Green Bay’s adjustments in the Sunday, Oct. 25 matchup at Ford Field.
The Dallas Mavericks appear close to signing Walter Clayton Jr. in a valuable move the Golden State Warriors should be making.
ESPN analyst Ben Solak says the Dallas Cowboys may trade wideout George Pickens before the Nov. 10 deadline if the 2‑4 team keeps losing. He cites Pickens’ slipping focus, the Cowboys’ $27.3 M franchise tag, and salary‑cap strain from adding cornerback Joey Porter Jr. Solak imagines Pickens landing with the Los Angeles Rams to replace Davante Adams or with the Kansas City Chiefs as a new deep threat for Patrick Mahomes. This week Pickens has logged 428 yards and 1 TD on 33 catches, highlighted by a 130‑yard, 9‑catch performance against Tampa Bay. The article also notes Dallas’ 66.9% chance to win the NFC East, upcoming Monday Night Football at Philadelphia, and recent trades involving Porter and other Steelers assets.
The Cowboys boost their depth ahead of the Oct. 26 clash with Philadelphia, promoting safety Juanyeh Thomas from the practice squad after three elevations (12 defensive snaps, 65 special‑teams snaps, 4 tackles) and waiving cornerback Caelen Carson. They also add former Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Track to the practice squad, filling the third‑QB slot opened by Joe Milton III’s move to the Eagles. Coach Brian Schottenheimer notes injuries to DaRon Bland, Cobie Durant, and returner KaVontae Turpin, while linebacker DeMarvion Overshown earns a start. Dallas sits 2‑4 after a 23‑13 loss to Green Bay.
Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer says returner KaVontae Turpin (rib cartilage injury) and linebacker Dee Winters (Achilles strain) are unlikely to play Monday night’s clash with the Philadelphia Eagles after both exited the 23‑13 loss to Green Bay. Turpin’s X‑rays are clear, but he’s “week‑to‑week.” Tyler Goodson and Jonathan Mingo stepped up in the return game, while the linebacker corps leans on rookie Jaishawn Barham, Shemar James and Justin Barron. DeMarvion Overshown, Cobie Durant and Joey Porter Jr. are each trending toward a return after recent injuries. The Cowboys aim to field a relatively healthy roster for the Eagles showdown.
After a 23-13 loss to the Packers, Cowboys receiver Ryan Flournoy urges the offense to give running back Javonte Williams more carries. Williams logged 11 rushes for 41 yards and a 1‑yard TD in Green Bay, while Dallas threw a season‑high 54 passes and finished with just 48 rushing yards. Flournoy, who caught 7 of 9 targets for 40 yards against Green Bay, says the team must ‘feed’ Williams and tighten up its motion and run game before facing Vic Fangio’s Eagles defense. Coach Brian Schottenheimer admits the 54‑pass barrage wasn’t planned, but emphasizes returning to a balanced attack.
