Is It Time to Be Concerned About the Cowboys’ Defense? – Shane Taylor, Inside the Star
Despite the dramatic win against the Seattle Seahawks, did the Cowboys create more questions about the team’s makeup than provide answers.
Next four games
The next four games for the Cowboys are against teams with winning records. The Bills are .500, but they have an offense on the same level as the others. The defense looks lost in coverage when they don’t get pressure, and one thing they need help with is when teams run motion.
Seattle’s playoff hopes hung on this game, so they played more aggressively, but they did whatever they wanted to on offense. The Cowboys are going to see the best of the best when it comes to the postseason.
If they give up 35 points a game to teams that will play in January, that is a reason to be concerned. Right now, Dak Prescott is playing the best football of his career, and probably better than anyone in football since the loss to the 49ers.

Dolphins- Cowboys’ 1993 Thanksgiving deserves a rewin
It’s November 25th, 1993. Were at Texas Stadium for a Thanksgiving day showdown between the hometown Dallas Cowboys and the visiting Miami Dolphins. Dallas controls the game with a one-point lead but Miami’s lining up for a field goal in the final seconds. A booming kick could give the Dolphins a chance to gobble up a statement win against the defending Super Bowl Champions. Before we witness what comes next, there’s so much to unpack.

The second-year tight end is providing the Cowboys with another weapon to make the offense even more potent.
For the better part of the 2023 season, Jake Ferguson has been the No. 2 option in Dallas. He trails only CeeDee Lamb in targets and receptions and with five games yet to play, he’s already nearly tripled his output from 2022.
Even though he’s been a key cog in the Cowboys machine throughout the year, it took a big day on the Thursday Night Football stage to truly elevate him into the hearts and minds of the nation. Tony Gonzalez, a former NFL tight end and current TNF analyst, gushed over his six reception, 77-yard and one-touchdown performance, prompting many to call this Ferguson’s “coming out party.”
Those close to the team know better. The former fourth-rounder from Wisconsin has been that guy in Dallas all season long. And it didn’t take a couple flashy plays in primetime football to make it official.
