The Cowboys offense is still getting warmed up, it seems. The team posted a third massive win on the season this past Sunday, but it’s the defense and special teams that are carrying the club at the moment. We’ll go inside their latest dominant performance and all the big moments that made up the 38-3 win over New England.

Elsewhere, Dak Prescott is turning the page to San Francisco, even while he and his new security-blanket tight end are going to extra lengths to get on the same page. We have encouraging news on the gameday injuries to Micah Parsons, Zack Martin, and Rico Dowdle, we’ll break down DaRon Bland’s breakout game, and we see what Week 4’s win did for Dallas in the power rankings. All that, plus an early look at the 49ers according to Vegas, more on the offense’s red-zone issues, and everything you need to take away from the pasting of the Patriots is all right here in News and Notes.

Things are trending in the right direction for Dallas’s offensive line as two of last week’s inactives were back in pads- albeit in a limited capacity- on Thursday. This, as the Cowboys and their fans get ready to welcome back Ezekiel Elliott to AT&T Stadium for the first time as a Patriot. Elliott talked about his feelings ahead of facing his former mates, and Dak Prescott told reporters what he expects from his best friend.

Elsewhere, Micah Parsons adds to his trophy case, we explore the feasibility of him getting offensive snaps, and Bill Belichick weighs in on the popular comparisons to Lawrence Taylor.

What a dismal day in the desert. Cowboys Nation was plenty frustrated by what they saw transpire Sunday at State Farm Stadium, and they spent Monday searching for an explanation. There’s plenty of blame to go around for the team’s first loss of the 2023 season; pretty much everything went wrong. In this edition of News and Notes, we’ll examine how injuries, penalties, coaching, bad run defense, poor playcalling, and even the Cardinals’ natural grass field may have all played a part in a forgettable Week 3 showing.

We’ll also go inside the box score to see who shone and who stunk, we’ll look at what the defeat did to the Cowboys’ place in the power rankings, we’ll preview Ezekiel Elliott’s return to AT&T Stadium, and we’ll acknowledge one Cowboys player who actually etched his name in the record books on Sunday.

Practice injuries on both sides of the ball have cast a shadow on what has been an almost picture-perfect start to a long NFL season for the Cowboys. While one of those starters has an opportunity to return to action, the other has been lost for the season.

This somber edition of News and Notes will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions regarding the health of America’s Team. The Cowboys should get wide receiver Brandin Cooks back into the lineup after missing last week with a sprained knee. Lineman Tyler Smith and safety Donovan Wilson should make their season debuts in Arizona this weekend. Osa Odighizuwa is giving credit to his fast start on an off-season training regiment that had him working out four times a day. Future Hall of Famer Zack Martin once again worked with the training staff and missed another day of practice yet his status is listed as questionable. And despite the heartbreaking development on Diggs, a closer look at the roster reveals that this year’s Cowboys actually appear deep enough and talented enough to compensate for his absence.

The midweek mark in Dallas brought the first glimpse of which Cowboys stars we’re monitoring before the team travels to Arizona. There’s also plenty of reason to take the 0-2 Cardinals seriously, and there’s a familiar face who won’t be suiting up for a rematch against his old team in the silver and blue.

Also in this edition of News and Notes, we need to talk about Micah Parsons. His otherworldly performance versus the Jets has earned him a special accolade from the league, his stats show him to be literally be off the charts of football history, he’s searching for a name to give to his lion-crawl celebration from last Sunday, and he’s even reportedly lined up in yet another position in practice this week… but this one will have opposing defenses quaking. All that, plus a look at the biggest workload in Tony Pollard’s entire life, Luke Schoonmaker gives the behind-the-scenes story of his first NFL catch and touchdown, and the league admits a mistake in Week 2’s contest that helped the Cowboys’ onslaught get rolling.

The Cowboys defense is off to a blistering start, one that already has observers comparing it to the best units in history. We’ve got some perspective on where they really stand after two games. And even though Micah Parsons for MVP is a fun story, we’ll share the sobering truth about why it’s unlikely. And CBS’s sideline reporter gives a unique take on what championship teams always seem to exhibit… and how this year’s Cowboys measure up in that department.

Elsewhere, Brandon Aubrey is turning the Cowboys kicking game into a weapon, but it took a stealthy undercover operation to get him to Dallas.
