Cowboys injuries: James Houston upgraded to full participant
Still recovering from the fallout of their sluggish loss to the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys continue their practice preparations for the Washington Commanders. A part of the team’s challenges come from injuries. The Cowboys reshuffled their running back room this week following Malik Davis’ injury last week. Dallas added running back Tyler Goodson […]
How the Cowboys can best use CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens
It seems so easy. The Dallas Cowboys employ one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL in Dak Prescott as well as perhaps the best wide receiver duo across the league in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Boom. Done. Anyone can call plays. Just get them the ball, right? That is sort of how we […]
History says Cowboys can bounce back against the Commanders
Week 1 didn’t go according to plan for the Dallas Cowboys. A 28-20 defeat to the New York Giants leaves Dallas looking for its first win of the season, but there may not be many opponents Brian Schottenheimer’s team would rather see coming through the doors of AT&T Stadium than the Washington Commanders. Washington is […]
Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown’s health continues to be a major concern
DeMarvion Overshown is one of the most talented players that the Dallas Cowboys have on either side of the ball. When he’s on the field, he has the ability to move sideline-to-sideline with his speed and athleticism, he can rush the passer if need be, and as a former safety, he has the ability to […]
Plenty of blame to go around after Cowboys loss in Giants game
Well, that wasn’t much fun. After all the offseason and preseason hype, the Dallas Cowboys put a whole lot of same old, same old on the field in falling to the New York Giants. Disappointment is the mood of the week. We hope they can turn things around against the Washington Commanders, but things went […]
Cowboys vs Commanders: 2 players Dallas should use more in Week 2
Not much went right for the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 1 loss to the division rival New York Giants. While the game ended 28-20, the play on the field suggested the contest was never really that close. With another divisional game on the schedule this Sunday against the Washington Commanders, Dallas will need to […]
Cowboys roundtable discussion: What to look for in Commanders game
Every week, we gather to discuss the latest news about the Dallas Cowboys and seek our writer’s perspective on each headline. Welcome back to the roundtable.

MIKE: Dallas’ biggest issue was the […]
Cowboys news: George Pickens talks sense of urgency into Week 2
It wasn’t the best game for George Pickens against the Giants with three receptions for 28 yards. With that said, he addressed his shortcomings and also spoke on what the team is thinking going into Week 2. Christian Parker and his defense failed their first test, but there isn’t a lack of confidence that things […]
Cowboys offensive line versus Commanders defensive line
The Dallas Cowboys are facing a close to “must-win” game as going 0-2, especially within the NFC East, is a tough hole to climb out of. They face the Washington Commanders in hopes of evening things in regards to their record, and a lot of winning in the NFL comes in the trenches. Today, we’ll […]
Cowboys playoff tracker: How loss to Giants affects Cowboys’ playoff chances
After every Cowboys game this season, we will try to post a playoff tracker in which we look at the Cowboys’ latest playoff chances. And we will continue doing this until a playoff berth is secured – or until they are eliminated from playoff contention. With the season opener out of the way, the Giants […]
How to fix the Cowboys Sunday night defensive disaster
The Dallas Cowboys’ defense on Sunday night was an absolute sieve. It was especially disappointing, considering the elevated expectations we placed on this new group from the multitude of big changes the team made over the last several months. The New York Giants made this unit look silly as the defense failed to do the […]
Cowboys injuries: DeMarvion Overshown, Malik Hooker DNP
Who could’ve seen that coming? After an all-businesslike offseason, the Dallas Cowboys were anything but in the first game of the year. The Cowboys suffered some bumps and bruises in the loss to New York, and therefore their injury report has a few more names on it than it did last week. Here is the […]
2026 NFL Week 2: Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders
Welcome to Week 2 of the Dallas Cowboys season. For the first, and hopefully last, time the Cowboys are looking to bounce back from a loss. This past Sunday was a humbling experience for the Cowboys as they had an enormous amount of positivity heading into the season opener, but football is a meritocracy and […]
Cowboys vs. Commanders: Matchups to watch in Week 2
After last week’s embarrassing performance against the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys return home this week to take on another division foe, the Washington Commanders. Hopefully playing in front of their hometown crowd will light the fire inside everyone that look to be lacking last week, because they can’t afford to start 0-2, especially […]
The Parker Report: How the Cowboys defense fared in week 1
With NFL Week 1 in the books, lets take a look at how first-year defensive coordinator Christian Parker and his revamped defense looked against the Giants.

Cowboys opponent: A look at the Commanders for Week 2
The Dallas Cowboys dropped their Week 1 game and are looking to bounce back. They don’t have to wait long for another NFC East opponent.

3 things we learned about the Cowboys in Week 1 loss
The Dallas Cowboys kicked off the season against the New York Giants, and it gave them a shot to get a big win in the NFC East. Many thought it would happen due to the Cowboys dominance against the Giants over the last decade, but things didn’t turn out that way. For the game, Dallas […]
Cowboys positional rankings reveal where accountability needs to start
For me it’s quite simple: Because the expectations for the offense and defense were quite high, and both units were outcoached and outplayed by the Giants, the accountability falls squarely on Brian Schottenheimer and Christian Parker. Alas, if only simple answers were the right answers – they almost never are. One of the team captains, […]
Cowboys defense is still the problem after loss to Giants
Football is back, and for Dallas Cowboys fans around the world, so is the disappointment that is often associated with this team. For the better part of 60 minutes, the Dallas Cowboys were taken to task by their division rival, the Giants. Both sides of the ball struggled, leading to a season-opening loss, but today […]
Cowboys news: Jerry Jones wants better communication on defense
The Dallas Cowboys spent the entire offseason saying Christian Parker would elevate communication on defense. That was his bread and butter. Jerry and Stephen Jones echoed that it was a leading reason they hired him. On Sunday night, the Cowboys owner was left disappointed by how bad it looked against the New York Giants. Dallas […]
Cowboys report card: Grading Week 1 vs. the Giants
The Dallas Cowboys’ chances of winning Sunday night against the Giants felt gone in a New York minute.

Jerry Jones and the front office invested a ton of resources into the defense […]
Brian Schottenheimer report card: Cowboys culture crashes in Week 1
After a disastrous 2025 season, the Dallas Cowboys hoped to rebound in the 2026 season bringing back the entire starting offense in 2026, and completely new look defense and coaching staff. Things could not have started out worse for the 2026 Cowboys, after dropping their week one game on the road in MetLife against the […]
Concern around Brandon Aubrey feels fair right now
Brandon Aubrey missed an extra point on Sunday night against the New York Giants. No harm, no foul. Extra points are missed all of the time in the NFL, right? We shouldn’t be freaking out over a single kick. This isn’t like early in Aubrey’s career where he was automatic and the out-of-nowhere miss was […]
Cowboys rookie report: Caleb Downs had one big moment in Giants loss
The Dallas Cowboys opened their season with a disappointing 28–20 loss to the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.

Every team in the NFL has officially played a game.
