"Ranked first in the NFL in yards and second in points, the Cowboys' offense has been one of the league's best during the first seven weeks of the season. The other side of the ball has been a different story. Thanks to a defense that ranks last in yards allowed and 30th in points given up, the Cowboys are a middling 3-3-1 and sitting in 10th place in the NFC."
"With an eye on returning to the playoffs after missing the postseason in 2024, owner Jerry Jones has been making calls around the league to acquire defensive help before the Nov. 4 trade deadline, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Cowboys swing a deal for a defender by then, Adam Schefter of ESPN says. Dallas, which is tied for 14th in the league in sacks, is among many playoff hopefuls angling for a pass-rushing addition over the next week and a half."
Dallas' offense ranks first in yards and second in points through seven weeks, while the defense ranks last in yards allowed and 30th in points, producing a 3-3-1 record and 10th-place standing in the NFC. Owner Jerry Jones has been contacting teams to acquire defensive help before the Nov. 4 trade deadline, and the Cowboys are expected to pursue a defender. The team traded Micah Parsons to Green Bay for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks, leaving a significant pass-rush void; Jones said he might trade those picks for immediate defensive reinforcements. Rumored fits include high-end edge rushers and interior defenders, though primary targets appear unavailable.
