Devin Abanikanda will join the Dallas Cowboys after being waived and claimed multiple times following stints with the Jets, 49ers, and Packers.
To date, Thomas has played a total of 199 offensive snaps for the Cowboys and has started twice so far this season. He's played 176 of the snaps at left tackle and 23 at right tackle, committing only two penalties and surrendering just one QB sack according to Pro Football Focus. As an injury fill-in and spot starter, he's been invaluable.
With three wins in a row, the Cowboys, if they win out, would finish the year 11-5-1. You would have to think that they would get into the playoffs in some form, whether that be the wild card or winning the NFC East. Winning the division is the more straightforward path with the Eagles needing to lose two of the last five games.
The last three Dallas Cowboys games have had "biggest win of the year" tagged to them after the clock hit zero, but their Week 13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs may be the one that keeps that title. It was the team's third consecutive win, and it put them over .500 for the first time this season; plus, it could come in as the most-watched regular-season game in NFL history.
Sanders finally made his NFL debut last week against the Ravens when the Cleveland Browns starting quarterback, Dillon Gabriel, got knocked out with a concussion. Sanders went 4-for-16 for 47 yards and a touchdown in a 23-16 loss in that game. But his fanbase - let's go ahead and call them the "Shedeur Simps", shall we? - were licking their chops on Sunday. Sanders would be making his first NFL start.
While some families may be just sitting down at the Thanksgiving dinner table, the Cowboys are getting warmed up for their showdown with the Chiefs, hoping to notch their third straight win and continue to build momentum as they push for a playoff spot. Now, we know who will and won't be available at kickoff. The big name here is Tyler Guyton, who is inactive.
The Dallas Cowboys are going to host the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day in the United States. If you are here then you are likely well aware how the Cowboys play on Thanksgiving annually, something that is a part of our lives as Cowboys fans. You likely have a routine with how you spend the holiday. I'd imagine you have told your wife, or mom, or grandmother, or dad, or grandfather, or whoever handles the turkey wherever you are to have dinner ready.
Anderson, the No. 3 pick in the 2023 draft, recorded seven sacks and 10 tackles for loss as a rookie, earning him a Pro Bowl nod and Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. He took his play to another level in 2024 with 11.0 sacks and 16 tackles for loss, which both tied for the 10th-most in the league. He did, however, miss five games due to injury across his first two seasons, suggesting his production could have been even higher.
The offense quits doing what it had been doing those first 19 minutes. It also doesn't help when said offense, the defense, and even the special teams units start making dumb plays. Big gains getting wiped out by penalty. Turnovers wiped out by penalty. Your star running back, Saquon Barkley, fumbling the ball. Then there is your punt returner fielding a punt at the two-yard line and promptly fumbling it at the 12 with the score tied at 21.
Before the bye week, the Dallas Cowboys defense had become a liability, porous against the run, inconsistent in coverage, and unable to generate timely stops. However, following a series of key additions and returns, that narrative has shifted dramatically. The arrivals of DT Quinnen Williams and LB Logan Wilson, paired with the return of LB DeMarvion Overshown and the debut of CB Shavon Revel, injected new life into a defense that had been terrible through the first half of the season.
The Dallas Cowboys pulled off one of the most incredible comebacks in their history when they wiped out a 21-point deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 24-21. That win kept the Cowboys faint hopes of reaching the playoffs alive for another game, which will be on Thanksgiving Day against the Kansas City Chiefs. Belief in the Cowboys actually making the playoffs this season is still probably weak among most fans, given the hole the team has already dug for themselves.
We have reached a point where the Cowboys are 5-5-1, and while they just won consecutive games for the first time this season, they have yet to be north of .500 at any point in 2025. In fact, the Cowboys have not been north of .500 since Week 5 of last season when they were 3-2. It goes without saying that a win on Thanksgiving Day against the Kansas City Chiefs would continue to cure the sickness that surrounded the team,
At halftime on Sunday night, for all competitive intents and purposes, the Dallas Cowboys' 2025 season seemed to be over. Dallas trailed Philadelphia 21-0, and its lackluster first half looked like the nail in the coffin of its bleak playoff hopes. To everyone's surprise, the Cowboys climbed out of the 10-foot hole they had dug themselves, putting together a spirited performance in the second half.
