Will the Cowboys be on the field today in Week 8 of the NFL football schedule?

Dallas had themselves a hopefully rejuvenating bye following a blowout loss to the Detroit Lions, 47-9, and now returns to the field October 27. Fans will just have to wait throughout the day to watch them perform as they take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football, a team that has had their number over the last several years.

Kyle Shanahan’s squad eliminated Dallas from the playoffs in both 2021 and 2022, and then pummeled them in Week 5 of 2023, 42-10.

The Cowboys are now in the meat of their 2024 season, and things have not looked very good. After a modest two-game winning streak appeared to have their defense moving in the right direction, a bye-rested Detroit team came into AT&T Stadium and continued the Cowboys’ miserable home record.

Dallas is 3-0 on the road and 2-0 in night games, so hopefully those things carry over.
