Cowboys vs Commanders predictions: Dak Prescott goes off
The Dallas Cowboys will stay home on Sunday and play their division rival, the Washington Commanders. The Cowboys need a win in the worst way after getting trampled by the New York Giants last week. This is an NFC East game and has huge importance to both teams. The Commanders are also 0-1 after losing […]
DeMarvion Overshown, Malik Hooker ruled out vs Commanders
Are the Cowboys already facing must-win territory? After losing to the New York Giants, the Cowboys are facing an 0-2 hole. History suggests that if the Cowboys were to lose this weekend, their chances of making the playoffs become slim. It’s time to get things in gear. That begins with concluding with a sharp outing […]
Cowboys vs Commanders: 3 causes for concern in Week 2
While it’s only Week 2, Sunday’s contest between the Washington Commanders and Dallas Cowboys is virtually a must-win for both sides. Since the 2015 season, just 14.7% of teams that started 0-2 (14 of 95) ended up making the playoffs. After the poor display they put on the field in New York, the Cowboys have […]
Cowboys want a better defense, but the Commanders might have got one
Time for a bounce-back game from the Dallas Cowboys. If that is to happen, it will come at the expense of the Washington Commanders. To see if that might happen, we checked in with Andrew Y. over at Hogs Haven for the lowdown on the Commanders heading into the second week of the season. Blogging […]
Advanced stats show Cowboys strengths and weaknesses
Fire the coaches! Cut the players! Churn the roster! Send a message! – It’s hard to avoid hyperbole in the days following a season-opening loss, but we take a dispassionate look at the Giants game anyway. By the numbers, of course. But the numbers come with their own baggage, because we have no way of […]
Cowboys vs. Commanders: 2 offensive, 2 defensive players who will impact game
It’s difficult to judge who were the impact players for the Dallas Cowboys last week in the season opener due to performing poorly in all three phases the game, but hopefully this week will be different. Hopefully multiple players will step up and make some key plays that helps sway the game in the Cowboys […]

Cowboys news: Quinnen Williams wants more from himself
Cowboys DT Quinnen Williams places blame following 8-point loss to the Giants – Chris Trant, The Big Lead Quinnen Williams took a long look in the mirror and addressed him performance against New York. Williams finished Sunday’s loss with three tackles, one quarterback hit, and a forced fumble. According to Tommy Yarrish of DallasCowboys.com, the […]
The Cowboys defense needs to lean into Caleb Downs
For a while it seemed like everybody sort of forgot about Caleb Downs. This seemed impossible right after the Dallas Cowboys drafted him. Downs was the story for the team, so much so that wars were being fought on the internet about how a veteran on the team should forfeit his jersey number so that […]
Thursday Night Football live discussion: Lions at Bills
The Bills and Lions tangle on Thursday night. Ed Note: We heard you about the open threads. SB Nation is about creating sporting communities, and we are returning to what you, the community, wanted. We’ll be doing regular open threads like we have in the past for all games. Thanks for you patience while we […]
2026 Week 2 rooting guide for Cowboys fans
While the Cowboys didn’t handle their own business last Sunday night, they weren’t the only projected NFC contender with a bad season opener. In addition to hoping Dallas corrects course in Week 2, what else can we root for in this week’s schedule? Last week, the preseason favorite Los Angeles Rams were dominated at home […]
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. This week we have Jorge Guajardo, Dyllan Rivers, Tom Ryle and Sean Martin. What was the biggest problem that the Cowboys had against the Giants in opening week? 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 […]
