The Dallas Cowboys are coming off an embarrassing loss on the road, and to get back in the win column, they’ll have to beat a good team while away from AT&T Stadium. The team needs to move on quickly as they play another AFC East opponent, only this time its the division-leading Miami Dolphins hosting the Cowboys in Week 16.

This contest also provides the Cowboys an opportunity to stay on top in the NFC East after they got a gift on Monday night. Like the Cowboys, the Dolphins are 10-4 on the season, but Miami is coming off a blowout win and have won four of their last five games.

After a stretch of football where the Cowboys looked like one of the best teams in the league, they had their doors blown off last week. How they respond may say everything about Mike McCarthy’s team. Here are six things to know about the Dolphins ahead of their Week 16 matchup.

The Dallas Cowboys are in a scheduling window where they are playing some of the bottom tier teams in the league. Last week they hosted a 2-7 team, this week the Cowboys travel to play the 1-8 Carolina Panthers in Week 11.

There are no gimmie games in the NFL, but the Cowboys should be able to win this one against an overmatched Panthers team struggling to find their path with rookie quarterback Bryce Young. However, the Panthers did beat the Houston Texans in late October and the Cowboys blew a game in Arizona earlier in the season, so anything can happen. Mike McCarthy can’t allow his team to slip up in this contest.

It’s also a game sandwiched between two NFC East matchups, so the Cowboys need to remain focused on the task at hand. Here are six things to know about their Week 11 opponent.

Cowboys vs Eagles: 6 things to know about the Week 9 opponent

While the Eagles don’t seem to be playing to similar levels as 2022, these are the dangerous 2023 things to be aware of and prepared for. | From @BenGrilmaldi

Things couldn’t have started any better for the Dallas Cowboys coming out of their bye week; a blowout win in a game where everything came together.

It was nice to have a complete team win, but reality is just around the corner with the rival Philadelphia Eagles next on the schedule. First place in the NFC East isn’t exactly on the line since the Eagles will have played an extra game, but beating the team you’re competing with for divisional supremacy will only help down the line.

Things won’t be as easy in Week 9 as the Cowboys hit the road and play on natural grass for the third time this season, where they are 0-2 thus far. The Cowboys and Eagles didn’t play with both of their respective starting quarterbacks in either of last year’s contests, so this is a much-anticipated matchup.

Here are six things to know about the Week 9 opponent for the Cowboys.

Cowboys vs Chargers: 6 things to know about Week 6 opponent

The Dallas Cowboys will need to regroup quickly after a disastrous performance that left their season in question. The good news is there’s another game right around the corner, and the Week 6 matchup has the team traveling back to California to take on the Los Angeles Chargers.

At 2-2, the Chargers are riding a two-game winning streak. Much like the Cowboys, a breaking point came early in the season for the Chargers after the team was 0-2 out of the gate and needed a wild win in Week 3 to get pointed in the right direction. The Cowboys will be looking for the same type of turnaround before they take their much-needed bye week. Here are six things to know about the Week 6 opponent for the Cowboys.

Cowboys vs Patriots: 6 things to know about Week 4 opponent

Week 4 has arrived, and the Dallas Cowboys are trying to put a disappointing loss in the rearview as they prepare for a home game against the New England Patriots. The two teams are coming off opposite performances; the Patriots won their first game, while the Cowboys suffered their first defeat.

Life in the NFL comes at you fast so it’s a tough time to be playing against one of the game’s best coaches and minds, but the Cowboys beat Bill Belichick’s troops in the last matchup. If the team is going to get back on the right path, they’ll need to do so again, only this time it’s at AT&T Stadium. Here are six things to know about the Cowboys’ Week 4 opponent.

Cowboys vs Cardinals: 6 things to know about Week 3 opponent

From @BenGrimaldi: James Conner and a good pass rush and are among the six things to know about the Dallas Cowboys’ Week 3 opponents, the Arizona Cardinals.

The schedule says the Dallas Cowboys will play on the road against the Arizona Cardinals in their Week 3 matchup. However, the reality is there might be just as many Cowboys fans in State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona as there are Cardinals fans.

Fans always travel well for their beloved Cowboys, but with the state of both franchises, it’s understandable why Jerry Jones’ team will have significant backing in Week 3. Dallas has looked like one of the best teams in the league in the first two weeks, while the Cardinals have yet to win a game. With the home team one of the favorites to earn the first pick in the draft, this could get ugly.

Jets vs Cowboys: 6 things to know about Week 2 opponent

The easy answer after Week 1 is that the Jets will find life difficult Dallas, but everyone knows the NFL is more complex than that. | From @BenGrimaldi

It was almost a perfect win for the Dallas Cowboys to open the schedule, but the NFL season moves quickly and the team is now preparing for the New York Jets in Week 2. At 1-0, the Cowboys have the look of a contender, and now they return to Texas to play their first home game of the year.

Expect things to be different in Week 2, games are rarely that easy. The Jets present new challenges and are coming off a thrilling overtime win on Monday Night Football. Because the Jets finished the league’s opening week slate, the Cowboys get an extra day of rest, which could be the little help that swings the tide in their favor.

6 things to know about the challenge 49ers present the Cowboys

The rookie quarterback is supported by an insane cast, here’s what to know about the challenges the 49ers present. | From @BenGrimaldi

The rivalry will be renewed when the Dallas Cowboys play the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. The teams last played in last year’s wild-card round the Cowboys lost at home. It was crushing loss for Dallas in not just that they lost in the opening round, but how they looked discombobulated for much of the game. Losing in the postseason is always a gut punch but falling to the 49ers made it a tougher pill to swallow.

The final play will go down as one of the more controversial calls in recent memory. The Cowboys battled back from being down all game, only to miss out on a final chance at the win while trying to get a final try off. The Cowboys can exact some measure of revenge by going into San Francisco and returning the favor. Here are six things to know about the divisional matchup.
