"Ben Johnson's Bears handed the Cowboys one of their worst losses of the 2025 season all the way back in week three, but they also earned their first playoff win since 2010 on Saturday night with an epic come-from-behind victory against their arch rival Green Bay Packers. By eliminating the Packers from the playoffs with a second straight thrilling home win against them, the Bears result, plus the result of the earlier game from Saturday featuring the Rams winning at the Panthers,"
"This means a pick that could have gone as low 32nd overall and no higher than 25th overall if the Packers continued to advance is now a much more juicy 20th overall pick for the Cowboys to use to their advantage. The Dallas defense needs all of the help it can get, and while there's still months to decide what the best way to help it is, right now the excitement is in the range of opportunities having two top 20 picks presents."
Ben Johnson's Bears delivered a heavy Week 3 loss to the Cowboys in 2025 and later secured their first playoff win since 2010 with a dramatic comeback against the Green Bay Packers. That Wild Card victory eliminated the Packers and, combined with the Rams' win over the Panthers, fixed the Cowboys' two 2026 first-round draft slots. Dallas will own the 12th overall pick and an acquired pick that climbed to 20th overall rather than falling into the mid-20s or low-30s. The Cowboys face a clear opportunity to strengthen a struggling defense with two top-20 selections.
