"They have a lot to overcome to make the playoffs, and they also have a lot on the line in the 2026 NFL Draft. As shown by their two deadline deals, Dallas wants to get hot, at least for now. As long as that remains their objective, they'll need to watch around the league, hoping for help from other teams."
"Big Blue has a chance, with interim HC Mike Kafka, to hand the Packers their third consecutive loss. That would both help the Cowboys' draft position big time and could contribute to a stumble out of the Wild Card race for Green Bay. The Green and Gold are seven-point favorites in this one, so it would be a fairly big upset, but we've seen Jordan Love's squad lose or get close to it against big underdogs before."
Dallas is idle for a third straight Sunday and resumes play on Monday with multiple roster changes and postseason urgency. The Cowboys added Quinnen Williams, Logan Wilson, Demarvion Overshadown, and Shavon Revel at the trade deadline to shore up the roster. The team faces uphill odds to reach the playoffs while protecting or improving its 2026 draft spots. Dallas is aiming to get hot quickly and remains dependent on other teams' outcomes. Key games to monitor include New York at Green Bay and the Detroit–Philadelphia matchup for impacts on playoff and draft scenarios.
