Week 10’s massive win has Cowboys fans thinking big for the rest of the season. Dak Prescott is suddenly in the MVP conversation, CeeDee Lamb calls himself the best receiver in the game, and the stats suggest that the Cowboys might have stumbled across the secret sauce that will take the run game- and their entire offense- to all-new heights. We’ve got complete postgame analysis, including how Brandin Cooks and Rico Dowdle jumped out to have their best days of the season.

Micah Parsons, meanwhile, is dealing with having just an ordinary outing; read on to learn how his defensive coordinator is looking to help him take it in stride. Tyron Smith is playing like his old self, and the Cowboys climb a little higher in the power rankings. All that, plus the not-so-great details you may have missed Sunday, and the team’s next opponent is in internal disarray just days before the Cowboys come to Charlotte. Here’s everything you need to know, in News and Notes.

It’s hard not to feel confident about the Cowboys’ chances in Week 10, but the locker room’s leaders are trying to make sure the players around them don’t fall into the trap of looking past the 2-7 Giants. Quarterback Dak Prescott is playing at an extremely high level these days, and his leadership is even inspiring his coordinators. Terence Steele is having a rough go of it but has his head coach in his corner, and could one basic pass play be the answer to unlocking Brandin Cooks in the Dallas offense?

Elsewhere, we’ve got the latest on the injury front and why Deuce Vaughn may be doing something new on the field this Sunday. We’re also looking at where the Cowboys stand at the halfway point, which unlikely personnel group is having the most success, and why Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams has beef with Troy Aikman. All that, plus a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at what all those extra people on an NFL sideline actually do. That’s all up in News and Notes.

The Cowboys came up short in their latest measuring-stick game, and there’s plenty of opinions about who’s to blame. We’re diving into the tape to look at who starred and who stumbled in the 28-23 loss. Dak Prescott’s coaches and teammates talk about his stellar game, we find out what Mike McCarthy really thought of Tyron Smith in his return, and Micah Parsons is among the Cowboys already looking forward to the rematch. We’ll also ask what happened to formerly reliable options Tony Pollard and Terence Steele.

Meanwhile, the new power rankings show how the Philly flop affected the Cowboys’ standing, we get an update on Leighton Vander Esch’s rehab status, and the Cowboys’ next opponent is dealt a serious blow at quarterback. Dallas is set to give a look to a blast from the NFL’s past, Prescott is making waves on third downs, and social media had things to say about the officials working the sidelines in Sunday. Here’s the News and Notes.

It’s Cowboys Week for the Philadelphia Eagles (but not vice versa), and while Micah Parsons is excited to go back home and play a game with huge implications in his home state, the Eagles head coach is trying to treat this like any other week. Tony Pollard is patiently waiting on a breakout game for 2023, and Jake Ferguson is prepping for nasty Northeastern weather. Tyron Smith and Jayron Kearse are rehabbing injuries for Dallas, but Jalen Hurts really doesn’t want to talk about his, ending his press conference when asked about it.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys’ rookie kicker gets a special tip of the hat for his perfect performance, the team re-signs offensive line depth to the practice squad, and Trevon Diggs stops by the facility to visit teammates… and talk about one in particular. We explore why the Cowboys sat on their hands at the trade deadline, Dan Quinn’s name is already popping up in connection to the Raiders job, the Giants could be without one of their top playmakers when they come to AT&T Stadium, and there’s been a development in a lawsuit involving Jerry Jones. All that and more in News and Notes.

Week 8’s rout of the Rams was more than worthy of a second look. We’ve got full coverage, including a career day from CeeDee Lamb, big stats from Dak Prescott, a powerful statement from the Cowboys defense and special teams, and a continued coming-out party for DaRon Bland. Also, how Brandin Cooks actually called his own touchdown play, and why the final scoreboard was something no one has ever seen before.

Meanwhile, the club has hope for Tyron Smith, Mike McCarthy finally reveals the true identity of the team, and the Cowboys take another step in the power rankings. We’re also keeping an eye on the trade deadline; while the Cowboys could still deal for extra talent, there’s a chance others could come calling for last-minute help off the Cowboy bench. All that and more, in this edition of News and Notes.

The cleanest Cowboys practice report in years was immediately followed a day later by a familiar sight as Tyron Smith has reportedly suffered a neck injury. It remains to be seen how it may affect his status for Sunday’s game. We’ll also preview Week 8 with a look at how a key Rams injury could have Micah Parsons and the top-ranked (by one measure, anyway) Dallas defense salivating, and what L.A. coach Sean McVay had to say about facing the Cowboys just days after the birth of his son.

Elsewhere, Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb are among the best duos in one important category, and Brandin Cooks looks to turn around a career-worst start. We look at a trade target that makes perfect sense for the Cowboys and mock our way to landing one of the country’s most exciting playmakers. Also in News and Notes, we’ve got updated Super Bowl odds, a look back at Deion Sanders’s storied career, what Jerry Jones thinks of his next-door neighbors playing for a championship, and a golden oldie of a Romo-magical highlight in honor of Rams Week.

The bye week has been a time for looking a look in the mirror and asking questions about how the rest of the season should unfold. This edition of News and Notes looks at some of the more pressing unknowns. Like, will the mobile Dak Prescott we saw in Week 6 keep on running moving forward? Will Brandin Cooks be able to build off scoring his first touchdown of the season? Is Jayron Kearse entering his last stretch of games wearing the star? And why is Sam Williams suddenly upset with his coaches?

Elsewhere, we’ll also look at how the Lion’s usage has changed in the absence of the Wolf Hunter, whether the Cowboys could make a move for a player like Derrick Henry, and how Dallas’s chances at a division title and playoff bye look now, after some NFC surprises. We’ll also get to know the four new members of the practice squad and explain why one ex-Cowboy won’t be making the trip when the Rams come to call. All that, plus the long and winding road that brought Will McClay to the No. 3 chair at the world’s top sports franchise.
