"The Dallas Cowboys return from their bye week with more urgency (and more firepower) than they've had at any point this season. After a rocky 3-5-1 start, the front office and coaching staff made their intentions clear: fix the defense, or the season will end early. Dallas was aggressive at the trade deadline, acquiring All-Pro DT Quinnen Williams and tackling machine Logan Wilson to patch up a porous unit."
"The team also welcomes back three key contributors from injured reserve - DeMarvion Overshown, Shavon Revel, and Malik Hooker, each bringing athleticism and playmaking ability that has been sorely missed. With all those reinforcements, this matchup against the 2-7 Las Vegas Raiders feels like an opportunity for the Cowboys to finally look like the team they hoped to be in 2025. With that in mind, here are three bold, yet still plausible, predictions for Monday Night Football."
"Bold prediction number one is simple: Dallas keeps the Raiders below 20 points. It's bold because the Cowboys haven't held a single opponent under 20 all season. Not once. If there's a game where the script can flip, this is it. The Cowboys' defensive front is no longer the liability it was in September and October. With Williams and Wilson joining Kenny Clark, Osa Odighizuwa, and Donovan Ezeiruaku, Dallas suddenly has size, range, and disruption at every level."
The Dallas Cowboys return from their bye week with urgency and added defensive talent after a rocky 3-5-1 start. The front office traded for All-Pro DT Quinnen Williams and tackling machine Logan Wilson to address a porous defensive unit. DeMarvion Overshown, Shavon Revel, and Malik Hooker are back from injured reserve, restoring speed, athleticism, and secondary playmaking. Williams and Wilson join Kenny Clark, Osa Odighizuwa, and Donovan Ezeiruaku, giving Dallas size, range, and disruption at every level. The matchup against a 2-7 Las Vegas Raiders offers a chance to assert defensive control, limit scoring, and flip the season narrative.
