Cowboys at Raiders is battle of two teams trying to find themselves. Thinking about the future is not often a characteristic that describes those visiting the "Sin City" of Las Vegas, and it's one the Dallas Cowboys will be looking to delay at least a week by renewing hope on the 2025 season and get in the win column for the first time since week seven.

The second half of the 2025 season starts with the Eagles soaring above their rivals in the NFC East. The next eight weeks may be little more than a formality for the presumptive division champions, but they haven't clinched anything yet. And at this point, the Cowboys seem to be the only team with a chance of thwarting them. Philly snuck out of Lambeau Field with a victory last Monday night, being the less ugly team in a game neither deserved to win.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer opened the door to a midseason change at that position. Schottenheimer said ( via Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News) an open competition will be held at right tackle. Such scenarios are of course commonplace during training camp, but when they emerge in the middle of a season they are more noteworthy. In this particular case, a high-profile benching is being considered.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has long been a steady performer when the national spotlight shines brightest. With a 5-2 career record on Monday Night Football, Prescott has shown a knack for delivering when the stage is big, and the lights are bright. Next Monday night, he'll have another chance to add to that record when the Cowboys take on the Las Vegas Raiders, his first time ever playing in back-to-back Monday night games.

Impressively, Emmitt has chosen to utilize the platform he built for himself for good and recently has been working with NARCAN Nasal Spray and their Ready to Rescue initiative. Emmitt and Release Recovery Founder/CEO Zac Clark have been speaking at collegiate campuses this fall to inform people of the dangers of opioid usage, opioid poisoning, and educating everyone on how NARCAN Nasal Spray can be a life-saving tool in those types of emergencies.

Things look bleak for the Cowboys right now. They lost consecutive games for the first time this season and then went off to their bye. They've had to sit with that feeling for a full week now, and on top of it they've watched the Eagles rip off their third straight win. According to the prediction model from The Athletic, Dallas has just a 7% chance of making the postseason right now.

[Agent] 0 will be making his debut and I'm excited for it. It's not going to be anything short of extraordinary. I'm ready to show, truly, how blessed I am. A lot of people claim that this knee injury is one of the worst or the worst, and not too many people come back the same afterwards. I'm ready to put that to the test.

A physical, instinctive safety with elite range and football IQ, Caleb Downs could become the leader Dallas has long lacked on the back end. The Ohio State standout diagnoses plays quickly, hits with authority, and brings the same kind of command to a defense that quarterbacks bring to an offense. He's the kind of player who instantly raises the standard for everyone around him - something the Cowboys have missed since Darren Woodson's prime years.

The Dallas Cowboys are 3-5-1 and spent the bye week recharging and replenishing. The latter is particularly true as Logan Wilson and Quinnen Williams joined the fold. With players like DeMarvion Overshown and Shavon Revel set to make their season debuts at some point soon, it isn't unfair to say that things are going to look seriously different for a defense that has been among the NFL's worst through the first half of the season.

On Tuesday, the Dallas Cowboys traded a 2027 first-round pick as well as a 2026 second-round pick to acquire star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets. To properly assess this trade, it's essential to have a clear understanding of what the Cowboys are gaining and what exactly they gave up. In previous articles, we attempted to provide some clarity on this trade, first explaining how this fits into the overall plan of the Micah Parsons trade, and then making the case that Williams is a legit impact defensive tackle.

The Dallas Cowboys are on their bye week, with a lot of work to do entering the bye off their first back-to-back losses in 2025. The 3-5-1 team will look quite a bit different on defense when they're back in action off the bye for another Monday night game at the Las Vegas Raiders. The Cowboys made trade deadline deals for linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets.

After the front office traded away Micah Parsons earlier in the year, the expectation was that the defense would shift its identity to a more balanced, gap-disciplined unit. With Kenny Clark anchoring the middle, fans hoped the bleeding would stop. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case. Dallas currently ranks 29th in the league, giving up a staggering 143.0 rushing yards per game. That's not just bad, it's embarrassing for a team that claims to have Super Bowl aspirations.

The Dallas Cowboys are on a bye before prepping for the a Monday night game against the Las Vegas Raiders, a game Dallas is currently favored by 3.5 points according to FanDuel. An NFL bye week is a good time to look back at what a team has accomplished through the first part of their season, and around the Cowboys it has been mostly disappointment. Their 3-5-1 record is uninspiring, and the belief that they can make a playoff push is diminishing rapidly.

For the previous eight opponents, they have all seen the same thing happen the following week after playing the Cowboys. They have all scored fewer points the week after playing Dallas than they did when they lined up against the Cowboys. For seven of those eight teams, they scored fewer points the week before playing Dallas too. The only team to break the trend of scoring more the week before was Washington.
