The secondary has […] Just a few weeks ago, most Dallas Cowboy fans assumed Trevon Diggs would likely never suit up for the Cowboys again after being placed on injured reserve earlier in the season. But after a three-game win streak and the playoffs becoming a real possibility, it looks like Diggs will soon be back. The secondary has dealt with its fair share of injuries this season with Caelen Carson now banged up again, DaRon Bland suffering a foot injury on Thursday against the Chiefs, Shavon Revel Jr. missing some snaps due to an issue with his left knee. The Cowboys had DaRon Bland, Reddy Steward, and Shavon Revel Jr. on the field for most of the game against the Chiefs, but the lack of depth behind the starting three is pretty concerning. After releasing Kaiir Elam earlier in the week to add Malik Davis to the 53-man roster, the cornerback room is rather young and lacks experience. Behind Bland, Revel, and Steward, Trikweze Bridges and Corey Ballentine are the last cornerbacks on the active roster. As bad as the relationship seems between Diggs and the Cowboys, there is no denying that Diggs can help the Cowboys win this season more than Bridges and/or Ballentine. If healthy enough to play, the Cowboys need to get Diggs back on the field and back in the lineup down the home stretch. Along with Diggs, Josh Butler has been on the PUP list since the start of the season – recovering from a torn ACL suffered last season. Butler was playing well in 2024 for Mike Zimmer’s defense before suffering the injury, and according to his most recent social media post he is pushing to get back on the field sooner rather than later. With the Cowboys defense lacking proven depth and dealing with injuries at the cornerback position, getting Diggs and Butler back into the mix would help improve one of the Cowboys weakest units on the roster over the last month or two of the season. The Cowboys currently have two more IR-return spots left to use, so bringing back Diggs would mean that they would have spot remaining to bring a player back from injured reserve for the rest of the season. Since Butler is on the PUP-list, he does not count towards the return number, he would just need to be activated to the active roster. At the end of the day, the Cowboys are set up pretty well on the defensive side of the ball. They have quality depth at defensive end, defensive tackle, linebacker, and safety, but the concern at cornerback is one worth upgrading and could help take the Cowboys defense to the next level as they continue to make a push for the playoffs.

Next stop, Super Bowl? It may feel comical to suggest the 6-5-1 Cowboys are Super Bowl contenders, but they just beat the two teams from last year’s Super Bowl – not to mention the last two Super Bowl winners – in a span of just five days. Whether or not they’re contenders for the big […] Next stop, Super Bowl? It may feel comical to suggest the 6-5-1 Cowboys are Super Bowl contenders, but they just beat the two teams from last year’s Super Bowl – not to mention the last two Super Bowl winners – in a span of just five days. Whether or not they’re contenders for the big game, it’s hard to deny this team is different. Just a few days after their grueling comeback win over the Eagles, Dallas played host to the Chiefs in an island game on Thanksgiving. A win could provide a catalyst forward for the rest of the season, not only for the record but for the confidence of the locker room. Things started out as poorly as it could have, though. Dak Prescott, hit as he threw, was intercepted on the third play of the game. Two plays later, Patrick Mahomes hit Rashee Rice for a touchdown. Both the offense and the defense were off to miserable starts. Then, things stabilized. Prescott started to get into a rhythm, hitting CeeDee Lamb on third down to move the chains twice before finding him in the corner of the endzone for a score. Just like that, the game was tied up again. It was time for the defense to respond, though against someone like Mahomes, that’s easier said than done. It proved to be true, as well, with Mahomes picking up a first down on a third-and-14 scramble before finding Travis Kelce for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal. On the Cowboys’ next drive, Brian Schottenheimer demonstrated a clear understanding of how crucial it was to come away with points. On fourth-and-short at the Kansas City 48, he went for it, and Prescott found Jake Ferguson for the first down. A few plays later, though, Dallas came up short on third down and opted for the field goal, cutting it to a 14-10 Chiefs lead. Now it was the defense’s turn to step up. Just as they did against the Eagles, Matt Eberflus’ unit locked in early into the second quarter. They took advantage of a first down holding call and Jadeveon Clowney sacked Mahomes on second down, setting up third and 26. Kansas City punted for the first time. The Chiefs’ next drive went similarly. A second down hold backed them up and led to third-and-16, at which point Dante Fowler got a sack on Mahomes – which had to be confirmed via replay, as the quarterback had tried to throw it away – to help run the clock out and get to halftime. Of course, in between those two drives came a crucial score. Prescott had two big third-down conversions, one to Ferguson and one to George Pickens, before Malik Davis came in to spell Javonte Williams and ripped off a big one. That score gave the Cowboys a halftime lead over the Chiefs, somehow overcoming the terrible start to the game and wresting away control. The Chiefs, who had been shut out in the second quarter, saw a similar fate in the third quarter. They had two drives combine for 24 yards and two punts. Meanwhile, Dallas hit a field goal late in the third to go up 20-14. That sparked Mahomes and company back to life. He hit four passes of 12 or more yards, including a 28-yard bomb to Rice, before finding him again in the endzone on fourth-and-goal. The Cowboys defense forced Kansas City to use every down and then some, but they still reclaimed the lead early in the fourth quarter. That transitioned directly into the George Pickens drive. An early pass interference penalty helped move the chains, as did a run from Williams, but on third-and-eight the Cowboys were right on the cusp of field goal range when Prescott found Pickens. From there, it was all demon time. A rare offensive pass interference on the next play backed the Cowboys up, threatening to rob them of six points, but some impressive scrambling from Prescott resulted in a Mahomes-esque flip to Williams for the touchdown. The Cowboys then decided to go for two and Prescott hit – who else? – Pickens to put them up by one touchdown. The defense stepped up yet again, forcing a three-and-out on the next drive and giving the ball back to Prescott with nine and a half minutes left. A mere field goal would just about put things out of reach, and the Cowboys knew that. Prescott felt it, and went for the throat on the very first play. The 51-yard bomb took all the drama out of it. Lamb’s catch – a sufficient atonement for last week’s drops – made a field goal a sure thing. From there, it was a matter of trying to kill some clock before kicking it. Tragedy nearly struck when Pickens fumbled a third-down catch, but impressive effort from KaVontae Turpin on the recovery helped set up the field goal from Brandon Aubrey. The Chiefs responded quickly, scoring a touchdown in less than two minutes, but the Cowboys just needed to eat up three minutes of clock. Two different pass interference penalties helped move the chains on second down, and then Prescott hit Pickens on a slant for a crucial third down just on the other side of the two minute warning. With Kansas City being out of timeouts, all it took was a few kneel downs before the win was secured. This game right down to the wire, and usually that ends up with the Chiefs finding a way to win in frustrating fashion. The fact that it didn’t – and that Prescott outdueled Mahomes and Schottenheimer outcoached Andy Reid – will offer more

A series […] Dallas Cowboys can be ‘whatever we want to be’ as recent win streak revitalizes season – Calvin Watkins, Dallas Morning News Dallas is arguably the hottest team in the NFL, and their confidence is unwavering. FRISCO — It was a month ago when the Cowboys were 3-5-1 and looking at a top 15 draft pick. A series of events that included a loss to Arizona, a daring trade at the deadline, the tragic loss of defensive end Marshawn Kneeland and the return of several injured players have brought this team together. The Cowboys are in the midst of a season-high three-game win streak, the first such stretch since 2023. With five games remaining in the regular season, the team is in the playoff conversation. However, early season losses make reaching the postseason difficult. How can one put what’s happened with this team into proper context, given where it stood nearly a month ago? “The consistency is what you’re noticing,” coach Brian Schottenheimer said in a Friday conference call. “When you look back and try to figure out why that is, again it’s a little bit like we just stayed to the process. We trusted the process and we’ve continued to coach to the details and try to get communication better on defense and continue to work on pass protection and fundamentals and things like that. That’s the biggest thing I would say, we’ve always had confidence, we’re never going to lack for confidence.” […] “We can be whatever we want to be,” quarterback Dak Prescott said after the Thanksgiving Day win over the Chiefs. “Everything’s in front of us. I just was telling the offense that when we’re in those kneel-downs at the end of the [Chiefs] game. But it’s not going to happen next Thursday. It’s going to happen Sunday [at practice] when we get in the building. It’s just taking it one day at a time, putting everything in, understanding that we win during the week with our preparation and that we just get to come out here and play the game that we love and playing it free.” Jerry Jones drops game-changing Trevon Diggs news after Cowboys’ massive win – Jerry Trotta, The Landry Hat The former All-Pro is set to return in Week 14 barring a setback. The Dallas Cowboys are playing their best football in nearly two seasons after winning games against last year’s Super Bowl participants, the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, in a span of four days to keep their playoff hopes alive. Tony Romo thinks the Cowboys can “run the table” to close out the season, while former Dallas cornerback Stephon Gilmore believes they will “win the Super Bowl” if they make the playoffs. While the schedule lightens up some over the final five weeks, they’ll need all hands on deck. Well, what better time to welcome Trevon Diggs back to the mix? Jerry Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Friday that he expects Diggs to be on the field next Thursday against the Detroit Lions. Cowboys might get Trevon Diggs back for Week 14 clash vs. the Lions Diggs will need to have his practice window opened for that to happen. The Cowboys will return to practice on Sunday, likely in a walkthrough capacity, to begin their Lions prep. As for why Diggs wasn’t activated to play the Chiefs, Brian Schottenheimer cited a short week last week. The Cowboys faced the Eagles last Sunday before a quick turnaround on Thanksgiving. They technically have a “full week” ahead of facing Detroit, and Diggs wanted to play against Kansas City, per Jones. The Cowboys’ offense is great, but their defense is why playoff talk is intensifying – Jon Machota, The Athletic The defensive turnaround in Dallas has been stellar since acquiring Quinnen Williams. When the Cowboys’ schedule was released in May, a three-game stretch stood out above all else. Week 12 vs. the Eagles, Week 13 vs. the Chiefs and Week 14 at the Detroit Lions. A month ago, it looked like Dallas would be fortunate to win one. Now, the Cowboys have an excellent chance to win all three and keep their playoff window cracked open. Prescott, Lamb and Pickens deserve plenty of credit. The offense continues to be one of the league’s best. But the defense was the story of Thursday and the past three games. “I think you guys know what we’re capable of on offense,” Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said. “I think the defense, again, has just taken so many strides over the last couple of weeks. When I watch our defense play, man, I see violence, I see passion, I see everybody running to the football.” The trade for star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and the return of injured linebacker DeMarvion Overshown during the bye week have been the two biggest catalysts. Williams continued to wreck everything in the middle, finishing with a team-high six quarterback pressures, one quarterback hit and four tackles. Overshown was moving well on the second level, tying for the team lead with six tackles. “I thought DeMarvion Overshown was outstanding and I thought he was everywhere, man,” Schottenheimer said. “I think it’s contagious and they feed off one another, and that’s a really good football team, a really good offense. They’ve got weapons everywhere, the quarterback, what can you say about him? But again, we’re playing with a bunch of confidence. Why? Because we’re executing and we’re having fun and we’re trying to honor not just Marshawn Kneeland. Optimistic DaRon Bland injury update provided by Cowboys’ Brian Schottenheimer – Josh Sanchez, Sports Illustrated This is great news for the Cowboys secondary. Injuries have plagued the

Just a few sleeps removed from storming back against the Philadelphia Eagles following an early 21-0 hole, the Cowboys “only” had to dig out of a 7-0 proposition against the Kansas City Chiefs. They did so successfully, and as a result they took care of last season’s Super Bowl teams in under a week. Pretty cool. As Cowboys fans we are well aware of how enjoyable a Thanksgiving Day win is. The team plays on Thursday night next week so there is no mini-bye, but being able to enjoy all of the college football rivalry games or shopping experiences or whatever else is consuming your weekend with this performance in the bank is never not enjoyable. Thursday was a lot of fun, and it was so because of several players on the team. Here is our Stock Report following all of the action. It is full of all ups given, well, everything. Stock Up: CeeDee Lamb There is no question that the Eagles game was a tough one for Lamb, relatively speaking, and he came out on a clear mission to avenge it. What’s more is that he delivered. Lamb was extremely reliable and on a different sort of level in this game. He kept coming up with big catch after big catch, and in the moments when he wasn’t, he was drawing significant pass interference penalties. As noted, there was a lot of chatter about his outing last week, but he had a huge bounce back game. Stock Up: Malik Davis How about that 43-yard touchdown? My goodness. Back in the days of training camp we all envisioned Jaydon Blue spelling Javonte Williams (who we had no idea would be so awesome in his own right) as the flashy point of juice. Without dragging Blue into any kind of conversation, there were maybe two people total who thought the role in question could, or should, actually go to Malik Davis. Thursday featured the huge touchdown run, but Davis has proven to be the proper RB2 for this offense. He deserves enormous credit for battling his way back to the Cowboys in general and for maximizing the opportunities he got to the point that he keeps getting more of them. Stock Up: KaVontae Turpin Last week Turpin fumbled when getting involved out of the backfield and in this game he proved that those plays are definitely worth exploring. He was a great alternative option for the offense in general, and what’s more is that he pounced on a George Pickens fumble late that provided what wound up being the game-winning three points from Brandon Aubrey. Stock Up: Shavon Revel For the last few weeks Jerry Jones has been hyping up both Shavon Revel and DeMarvion Overshown (more on him in a moment, but this note does apply to the duo) as players who were going to return and help the team. While that makes sense in a literal sense, it felt unfair for him to put such heavy responsibility on players who were coming back from serious injuries. In Revel’s case it was on a player with zero NFL experience. The sample size is small, but Revel has been a breath of fresh air. He has been a mostly dependable cornerback that held his own against an offense with a very strong and noteworthy reputation. Stock Up: DeMarvion Overshown As noted the Cowboys have seen their two injury returners step up and deliver in ways that they promised. That in and of itself is worthy of praise, but Overshown is really helping to fix a lot of what was wrong with the defense. He has yet to reach the status that saw him dominating almost every play before his injury last year, but again he is raising the floor of the linebacker play. Having a steady presence right in front him has to be helping matters, but ultimately it is just nice to see some level of dependability from the linebacker group at certain points and Overshown is a big reason for that. Stock Up: Quinnen Williams There was a lot of excitement around here when the Cowboys traded for Quinnen Williams, but I don’t know that we knew when to expect it to translate. It seems pretty obvious that he has been an absolute rising tide for all boats on the defensive side of the ball. Consider that at one point the Chiefs punted four straight times. The entire defense deserves credit for this, but the catalyst for how they have played as of late (consider how they shut down the Eagles last week after the initial scoring) is clearly the newest superstar in Quinnen Williams. He has changed everything. Stock Up: Dak Prescott While Williams has invigorated the defense, there is zero doubt that the charge supplying the whole team with energy is at the quarterback position in Dak Prescott. There was an interception early in this game that was obviously not ideal, but the rest of the outing was phenomenal from Dak. Think back to when the Cowboys fell down by a point and Prescott was completely unfazed in leading the team down to take the lead right back. Or the next possession when they had a touchdown lead and he came out firing to CeeDee Lamb to go take the game and make it a two-score proposition. If you have this element, anything is possible. Stock Up: George Pickens Things started off a little slow for Pickens relative to expectations, but he made sure to leave his mark on the game before it was all said and done. The

The Dallas Cowboys are on a three-game winning streak after beating the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving. Their next game is against the Detroit Lions next Thursday, and according to team owner Jerry Jones, one of their veteran defensive players will be back on the field barring a setback. That guy is cornerback Trevon Diggs. […] The Dallas Cowboys are on a three-game winning streak after beating the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving. Their next game is against the Detroit Lions next Thursday, and according to team owner Jerry Jones, one of their veteran defensive players will be back on the field barring a setback. That guy is cornerback Trevon Diggs. Diggs has played in six games this season, with his last coming against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6. However, it was announced just two days before the Cowboys faced the Washington Commanders in Week 7 that Diggs would miss the game due to suffering a concussion at his home. A week later, the former second-round pick was placed on injured reserve. A healthy Diggs will undoubtedly be welcomed in the Cowboys’ secondary. Second-year cornerback Caelen Carson, although he missed the game versus the Chiefs with a hamstring issue, has played very solid football since coming back from his original alignment. Also, rookie Shavon Revel is showing signs of why he was looked at as a first-rounder before falling to the Cowboys in the third round due to a torn ACL in his final collegiate season. Adding Diggs to this mix plus having DaRon Bland puts Dallas in a favorable spot at cornerback as they continue to fight for a playoff spot. Of course, Diggs will have to perform well for that to fully be true. Nonetheless, having him on the field would certainly be a positive for the Cowboys. See More:

With both teams fighting to stay afloat in the postseason chase, you felt that whoever lost the game was realistically eliminated from the postseason. The Cowboys should be proud of their performance on Thursday. They stood toe-to-toe with a Chiefs team that has been the class of the NFL for most of this decade, and outlasted them in what feels their most desperate hour in some time. Dallas overcame a rocky start to quell any notion that Kansas City would run them out of the building. Dallas’ thrilling win keeps their playoff hopes alive and gives the team, along with their fans, confidence that they are resilient and won’t lie down no matter the opponent. Here are your stars of the game that feasted against Kansas City. KaVontae Turpin Last week, we saw Alijah Clark make a tremendous hustle play, which demonstrated the importance of never giving up on a play that resulted in a turnover. An honorable mention is in order for KaVontae Turpin for making a terrific effort play that saved a turnover. When George Pickens fumbled in the open field, you heard the gasp in the building that the Cowboys may have squandered a chance to take a two-score lead to further secure their grip on the lead. However, Turpin alertly saw the football loose and pounced on it before Kansas City could. Shortly after, Brandon Aubrey gave the Cowboys a ten-point lead, and the Cowboys held on for the win. Without Turpin’s timeliness, there’s no telling what happens next. In addition, Turpin had three carries for 33 yards and two receptions for 28 yards. He contributed in multiple ways. Jadeveon Clowney The old man has still got it. Over the past two weeks, Jadeveon Clowney has really upped his game. Last week, he was pursuing Jalen Hurts out of the pocket, creating pressure but not quite getting home. This week, he got to Patrick Mahomes, sacking him twice. His effort on his first sack was relentless. He also had six total tackles for the game. Nobody can replace what Micah Parsons meant to the Dallas defense as an edge rusher, but now that Parsons is gone, the Cowboys have had to rely on strength numbers and a committee of players to put pressure on the passer. A veteran like Clowney to help fill that spot is a great start, and he ate big against the Chiefs. CeeDee Lamb After the last game that CeeDee Lamb had, he needed to redeem himself in a major way. From the opening whistle, he did just that. After the Cowboys gave up an early 7-0 lead, Lamb connected with Dak Prescott for a 15-yard score. Lamb extended many key drives with critical catches on third downs or by drawing pass interference penalties. His biggest play of the day came on a 51-yard hookup when Dallas was backed up against its own end zone. That play enabled the Cowboys to take a two-score lead that allowed them just enough of a margin to escape with the win. When the Chiefs’ secondary couldn’t guard him, they had their hands all over him as Lamb drew multiple pass interference penalties, making Trent McDuffie’s day very difficult in coverage. In all, Lamb had seven catches for 112 yards. When Lamb is locked in like this, there’s nothing you can do to stop him. Dak Prescott Facing Steve Spagnuolo’s defense makes getting the ball out quickly essential. Prescott did a great job of doing that and identifying the blitz. He constantly found the right reads, avoided taking the big sack. In fact, the Chiefs never sacked him at all, as Prescott eluded the rush to find his receivers downfield. Sure, he threw an interception, but he was money afterwards. He outdueled Patrick Mahomes with the chips all on the table in a must-win game. In the fourth quarter, Prescott was especially clutch. He completed 9/12 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown in the closing frame. His touchdown pass to Javonte Williams was a thing of beauty. He broke the pocket to extend the play and drew the defender toward him before dumping off the easy throw to Williams for the score. After this game, you can make the case that Prescott is the hottest quarterback in football right now. See More: Dallas Cowboys Roster

The Dallas Cowboys have won another one! Can you believe it! Just when the season felt lost, this resurgent football team is defying the odds and keeping the 2025 season on life support.

Just when the season felt lost, this resurgent football team is defying the odds and keeping the 2025 season on life support. The Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs came into this game both desperately needing a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, but it was the Cowboys who prevailed, 31-28. Here are ten thoughts on this scrumptious Thanksgiving victory. 1. Another bumpy start This team loves to get their fans all worked up early, as they refuse to start the game playing well. For the second-straight week, they’ve started the game with the ball, did nothing with it, and then proceeded to fall behind. Against the Chiefs, they didn’t fall behind 21-0 thankfully, but we did watch Dak Prescott get hit on the opening possession, causing the ball to float in the air forever and land in the arms of a Chiefs’ defender. The Chiefs’ offense only needed two plays to go 37 yards and go up 7-0 before the first two minutes of the game. 2. Defense makes a stand For the last two weeks, the Cowboys’ defense has looked pretty good, especially once they got settled in, but everyone expected this game to be a different story. It’s Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid after all. After the Chiefs’ first two possessions, it wasn’t looking good. Kansas City had its way with the Cowboys’ defense, scoring 14 quick points. But then, something changed. The Cowboys’ defense forced four straight punts, not allowing any points in the second and third quarters. It felt like the Eagles’ game all over again. The Chiefs eventually got rolling again in the fourth quarter, but by then, the Cowboys’ offense had caught up and even taken the lead. Join the conversation!

Dak was dealing Coming into the game, it just felt like the team with the better playing quarterback was going to win. And most people expected that quarterback to be Mahomes. And let’s face it, Mahomes was sharp. He finished with 261 passing yards, throwing four touchdowns. He also added another 30 yards rushing as his elusiveness was a problem all afternoon. But he wasn’t the only quarterback in the zone on Thursday. Despite the early interception, Prescott made several big throws to keep drives going. He finished with 320 yards passing and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, where he dumped the ball off to Javonte Williams at the last second. The Cowboys needed to have a big game from their quarterback to have a chance to win this game, and they got it. 4. Pick your poison It feels like all week, Cowboys fans have been debating over which wide receiver is better, CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens. Luckily, it was a short week, so we didn’t have to listen to it that long. It seems rather clear that both these receivers are super fantastic. Fans don’t have to pick between them. On this day, it was Lamb who led the stat sheet with seven catches, 112 yards, and a touchdown. Of course, Pickens was no slouch. He added another 88 yards and was jumping over people. Both these guys forced multiple pass interference penalties on the Chiefs’ corners as they had a McTuffie time covering them. Whether it’s Lamb or Pickens, or Pickens or Lamb, just take comfort that both play for the Cowboys, and Dak will find one of them. 5. Solid outing by the secondary It didn’t look good at first, but the Cowboys’ secondary actually held up pretty well. As expected, Rashee Rice was a problem. He finished with eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns. And Xavier Worthy had 61 yards, but 42 of them came on a broken play when Mahomes escaped defenders twice. Despite a couple of hiccups, the Cowboys’ secondary played well. They were already down Caelen Carson, who was inactive, and during the game, they lost both their other two starting corners, DaRon Bland and Shavon Revel Jr, for a brief moment, but everyone else stepped up. 6. No Guyton, no problem Speaking of holding up, the Cowboys’ offensive line had another strong performance. The Cowboys finished with 137 yards rushing, averaging over five yards per attempt. Williams was powering through defenders, and Malik Davis broke off a big one for a 43-yard touchdown. Not only that, but Prescott never got sacked. What’s impressive about this showing is that the Cowboys were without their starting left tackle, Tyler Guyton, calling upon second-year tackle Nate Thomas to fill in. Many times this season, the Cowboys have had to adapt along the offensive line with a new reserve filling in, and most times it hasn’t been a problem. 7. Schotty is in it to win it Between last week’s fourth-down failures and roughing the kicker/no challenge, some have questioned the decision-making of head coach Brian Schottenheimer. In this game, the offense again had a fourth-and-short at midfield, where they went for it. This time, they converted. While favorable results will always make the coach seem smarter, it doesn’t go unnoticed that Schottenheimer has shown himself to be the aggressor with some bold play calls. The play-action pass to Lamb while backed up deep in their own end zone was a thing of beauty. His continued decisions to throw the ball late in the game to convert third downs despite needing to chew the clock showed that he wanted the game in
