"Two consecutive blowout losses dropped the Cowboys to 3-5-1 before they went into their bye week. They now have a 7% chance of reaching the postseason, per the projection model from The Athletic's Austin Mock. That didn't stop Jerry and Stephen Jones from making multiple deals at the trade deadline, though. Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson was had for nearly free, while Jets stud Quinnen Williams came at a rather hefty price."
"Getting Williams and Wilson, both team captains at their previous stops, is huge. The rubber meets the road this week, though. The Cowboys go on the road to face a really bad Raiders team, and this is a must win game. Using the projection tool from The Athletic, the Cowboys' odds to make the playoffs increase to 10% with a win. However, a loss drops them to 3%."
The Cowboys entered their bye week at 3-5-1 after consecutive blowout losses and held only a 7% chance of reaching the postseason. Team ownership made multiple deadline trades, acquiring Logan Wilson and Quinnen Williams, while DeMarvion Overshown and rookie Shavon Revel are expected to return, aiming to spark a defensive turnaround. The bye week offered a reset, but defensive failures have strained the locker room. A road game against a struggling Raiders team is framed as a must-win; a victory would raise playoff odds to about 10%, while a loss would cut them to roughly 3%. Some view the new additions as valuable but possibly too late.
