While the Cowboys did secure their first victory of 2025, New York’s explosive passing performance raised more long-term concerns about the defense. This, and more, make up our three big questions coming out of Week 2. A week after Giants fans were calling for him to be benched, Russell Wilson went off for 450 yards. It wasn’t surgical, but rather a series of deep bombs that made Trevon Diggs and other defensive backs look equal parts hapless and helpless. Now that New York’s exposed this liability in the secondary, are the Cowboys about to start getting torched every week? Obviously, Matt Eberflus has to figure some things out. This zone-heavy, double-high safety scheme is quite different from what some of our DBs were used to under Mike Zimmer and Dan Quinn. Thankfully, Dallas was able to withstand these big plays and escape with a win. But now that what the Giants did is on tape, it’s on our coaches to make mitigating adjustments. Eberflus also needs to get some of his key players back. DaRon Bland’s absence was sorely felt, and hopefully, he’ll be able to suit back up by the Week 4 game against Green Bay. We’re also hoping that the current version of Diggs is still working through rust and has higher levels of play ahead of him. Also, what will guys like Caelen Carson and Shavon Revel Jr. offer when they finally make their 2025 debuts? 2. Can Javonte Williams keep this up? The Cowboys may have pulled off another bargain bin win with Williams. His 151 rushing yards in two games put him at seventh on the current leaderboard, and his three touchdowns have him tied for first place. Williams isn’t only taking what the blocks give him, but he’s breaking tackles and creating extra yards and gash plays just on his own ability. While we’re still anticipating Jaydon Blue’s debut as another potential offensive weapon, Williams has clearly established himself as RB1. Still, it’s a long season ahead. Can Williams maintain this play as all that contact starts to take a toll? He was available for only $3 million because of how much he struggled in Denver following a major 2022 injury. These first two weeks in Dallas are very positive signs, but his style is dependent on maintaining whatever bursts he has and consistently outpowering defenders. Both get harder as the body wears down. 3. What happens when the flags stop flying Dallas’ way? In Week 1, it felt bizarre to see the Eagles penalized nine times to only four for the Cowboys. Even last week, albeit a much narrower margin, the Giants were flagged 14 times to just 12 for Dallas. We’re so used to the Cowboys being among the league leaders in penalties every year, so this has been a welcome respite. It’s also a big part of why they kept things close against Philly and eked out the win over New York. Is this a new era of disciplined football under Brian Schottenheimer, or is it just an anomaly? We hope it’s sustainable, because the razor’s edge that Dallas is currently playing on means it can’t afford anything to swing to the negative. If history holds true and the Cowboys resume their rivalry with the officials, it could have a dramatic impact on outcomes going forward. 0 CommentsSee More: Dallas Cowboys Roster

(Grades for each player are the overall offensive or defensive grade handed out by PFF.com) Dallas Cowboys Tyler Booker (OG) First Round This is a communication street fight for Booker. If he and Brock Hoffman pass off every twist like a baton, Chicago’s simulated pressure turns into just four guys running in place. Win first contact against length, keep the pocket square, and Dallas can live in second-and-manageable all afternoon. Do that, and Booker doesn’t just survive, he erases the chaos the Bears need to steal this one. Later in the week on Reading Between the Lines here on BTB we’ll take a deeper dive into Bookers challenges for this week.Grade: 53.0 Donovan Ezeiraku (DE) Second Round Through two games, Ezeiruaku has one solo tackle and zero sacks, a light statistical start while he acclimates to NFL speed and Dallas mixes its sub-packages. The good news for Ezeiruaku is the Bears’ offense has protection problems. Detroit sacked Caleb Williams four times and held Chicago to penalty-soaked drives. That’s fertile ground for a speedy, inside-counter rusher like Ezeiruaku. This sets up like a breakout game for the rookie pass rusher. Chicago’s tackles have been leaking and Ezeiruaku brings fresh legs and a first step that kills. If he keeps his rush lanes tight on Williams so he’s forced to climb into traffic, not out the back door, it can all fall into place for Ezeiruaku. We could be seeing his first sack this weekend.Grade: 72.9 Shavon Revel Jr. (CB) Third RoundCurrently on Non-Football injury list (NFI) Jaydon Blue (RB) Fifth Round Another week inactive and we wait for news on if the coaches feel he can make it to the field this week. With Miles Sanders scoring last week after Javonte Williams had another big game, could see Brian Schottenheimer sticking to what’s working. That means less of our boy Blue. Grade: N/A Shemar James (LB) Fifth Round Watching Jack Sanborn try to cover the seam last week was both frustrating and disappointing. A guy like James might have been golden in that area of the field, but we have to wait for the coaches to feel confident putting him in. So for now, it’s a case of wait and watch for James and whether he gets to see action.Grade: N/A Ajani Cornelius (OT) Sixth RoundInactiveGrade: N/A Jay Toia (DT) Seventh Round The rookie nose is still easing in and has one tackle with zero sacks so far. He’s been used situationally to anchor early downs and absorb double teams while the Cowboys mix sub-fronts, so this will take time for Toia. But this week is a trench bully game for Toia. Win half a yard on first down and Chicago’s shiny playbook shrinks to panic buttons. Dent the pocket, don’t just hold it, and make Caleb Williams climb into traffic. Given the Bears coughed up four sacks and 12 pressures last week, Toia could find a few A-gap wins.Grade: 30.2 Phil Mafah (RB) Seventh RoundInactiveGrade: N/A Chicago Bears Colston Loveland (TE) First Round Usage for Loveland has been modest so far this year, but on-script for a rookie behind a veteran room. He has two receptions for 12 yards so far, after a debut with 57% of offensive snaps and a small target share. Early efficiency indicators are shallow by volume, with an average depth of target of just 2.5 yards, meaning he’s mostly getting quick outlets and underneath throws as Chicago sorts its passing game out. Expect his role to expand as spacing and protection improve, if they improve. Loveland projects as a classic in-line or slot-flex tight end with plus movement skills for his size with loose hips, clean hitch/comeback transitions, and good timing at the catch point. His biggest setback is the Bears offense in general that lacks efficiency.Grade: 48.7 Luther Burden II (WR) Second Round During the draft season a lot of Cowboys fans wanted Burden to be the first of the draft for Dallas, and with good reason. A dynamic slot receiver with running-back balance after the catch, short-area burst and contact strength, Burden adds firepower to an offense and offers great RPO utility options. At Missouri he was a high-volume YAC weapon, and he tested well pre draft. With a compact frame that suits quick separation and screen work he is very exciting to watch. The Bears got to him, however, before Dallas could call his name in the second round, but so far in Chicago it’s been quiet from the dynamic playmaker who has made only two catches for two yards across two games. Early usage has been limited behind Rome Odunze and the veteran rotation, but he’s logged situational snaps and special-teams downs while the Bears’ offense finds its footing. Expect gradual growth in manufactured touches as Chicago stabilizes its offense and expands the rookie’s role. Is that going to happen as early as Week 3? Doubtful.Grade: 46.7 Shemar Turner (DT) Second Round The next two guys on this list are quite a head-scratcher if you’re a Bears fan. Turner adds some real juice to the inside and this Bears defensive line needs it. But the coaching staff over in Chicago are not only opting to stick with the veterans and their guys, they keeping Turner inactive. The second-round pick out of Texas A&M has yet to play a single snap this year, but is a healthy scratch. This has infuriated Bears fans and media personnel are running with the story based on the fact the defense is struggling and the guys they’re playing are doing very

If they want to pull that off then they will have to get through the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Dallas will visit the Windy City in Week 3 and will bring Dak Prescott with them. The Cowboys’ QB1 is playing some incredible football right now and it certainly helps that he has CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens at his disposal. Brandon Aubrey being able to convert field goals from Mars is also a nice plus. On the Chicago side of things, the Bears are winless through the first two weeks of the season. New head coach Ben Johnson is still trying to figure life out with Caleb Williams, D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze. This game will mark a meeting of first-time head coaches as Brian Schottenheimer is leading the Cowboys. From a coaching standpoint, this game also features Matt Eberflus, now the Cowboys defensive coordinator but most recently the Bears head coach, returning to his former stomping grounds. Below you will find our stream for this week that will contain all material relating to the game. Dallas and Chicago kick off at 4:25pm ET on Sunday from Soldier Field.

After two weeks, it’s hard to say just who the 2025 Dallas Cowboys are. Are they the team that nearly beat the Eagles on the road, or that barely got by the Giants at home? Sitting at 1-1 ahead of a Week 3 matchup against the Bears, it’s hard to say right now whether or […] After two weeks, it’s hard to say just who the 2025 Dallas Cowboys are. Are they the team that nearly beat the Eagles on the road, or that barely got by the Giants at home? Sitting at 1-1 ahead of a Week 3 matchup against the Bears, it’s hard to say right now whether or not these Cowboys are winners or losers. Thankfully, they’re winners for the next few days. And what a way to win, having to eat several Russell Wilson haymakers and stay sure-footed. Not just Brandon Aubrey, who deserves a new contract before he gets on the plane to Chicago, but the entire team. Even as Wilson, Malik Nabers, and other receivers kept exploiting DaRon Bland’s absence and Trevon Diggs’ rust, the Cowboys stayed up and answered enough times to get their first win of the season. Now it’s fans and analysts who are fighting to figure out which game is more indicative of this team going forward. Was it the one that went the distance with Philly? And for that matter, how much did Jalen Carter’s absence make that an unfair gauge? Similarly, how much did losing Bland this week in practice make this last game closer than it should’ve been? And if future opponents, even weaker ones, don’t have the preponderance of penalties that the Giants did, will that even the field? That’s one of the really scary factors of these last two weeks. For the first time in what feels like forever, the Cowboys have been heavy beneficiaries of officiating. Carter’s ejection, multiple DPIs for big yardage, critical calls in clutch moments: it’s been going Dallas’ way far more than we’re used to. If this is the anomaly we expect it to be, given decades of Dallas being one of the most penalized teams in the league, then that should mean tougher sledding in most upcoming games. The composite result of all of this is not really knowing how to feel going forward, even against a 0-2 opponent like the Bears. They’ve lost two division games, one narrowly at home and another on the road. A week after Ben Johnson’s failed return to Detroit, we now have another big storyline game with Matt Eberflus’ attempted revenge in Chicago, going against a very familiar opponent in Johnson’s offense from their shared time in the NFC North. Thankfully, it’s not all question marks with the Cowboys. At least a few things, and important ones, feel reliable after two weeks. We already mentioned Aubrey, who is simply incredible. Here are a few more: 1. Dak Prescott is all the way back. It took the offense a little bit to get going on Sunday, but boy, did it finish strong! Prescott was on point in every way, even setting up the winning field goal with a 14-yard run. He showed all of the same poise and confidence from a week ago and delivered in the clutch. Prescott looks more comfortable in two weeks of this offense than he did at any point last season. He did get away with a couple of near picks trying to force the ball to George Pickens, and hopefully that gets cleaned up with increased chemistry. But overall, Prescott looks ready to do his part to make Dallas a contender. 2. Javonte Williams has the stuff. We’ll have to see how the toll of a long season affects him, especially given his injury history, but Williams looks like a legit RB1 for a winning team. He’s a decisive runner behind even narrow lanes, trusting his power to make up for potential contact. He’s also a good receiver, catching six of seven targets. The more Dallas establishes rushing efficiency, the more dangerous Prescott and the receiving weapons will become. We’ve said before that Williams only had to be as good as Rico Dowdle to be a good move, and so far he’s looking like an upgrade. 3. Schotty has the locker room locked in. The jury is still out on his offensive playcalling, clock management, and some of the other things we judge head coaches by. But in terms of having and keeping his players motivated and dialed in throughout a game, Brian Schottenheimer is proving himself quickly. While X’s and O’s and other technical aspects of football certainly matter, so much of what elevates professional teams over others is desire and focus. These are all great athletes, often working with great coaches and coordinators. After two weeks, these Cowboys look like a more disciplined and cohesive group than we’ve seen in a while. Those are three things that you can lean on for an entire season and beyond. But still, Dallas has a lot of questions to answer. And with the Green Bay Packers coming in Week 4, this would be a great week to build confidence in other aspects of the team. A non-division opponent like Chicago, even with the Eberflus factor, could make for a better evaluation point than these last two NFC East rivalry games. Who are the 2025 Cowboys? The Bears may go a long way to helping us figure it out. 0 CommentsSee More: Dallas Cowboys Roster

Overshown has been off the field for the Cowboys since December of 2024, when he suffered his second season-ending knee injury in as many years by tearing his ACL, MCL and PCL. Ten months later, he’s been doing more and more with the rehab group and is feeling good. “I’m getting there,” Overshown said. “It’s definitely to a point where we’re getting the last clears from my surgeon, and now it’s just easing me back into playing football. The knee is healthy, I’m moving around fast, strong, now just being smart with the timing.” Initially, Overshown was looking at Dallas’ annual Thanksgiving game against the Kansas City Chiefs as a potential return date. Is that still what he’s targeting? “I don’t want to say that’s the target date, but I feel like I’ll be playing football before Thanksgiving with the team.” Overshown said. It’d be a much welcome addition to the Cowboys defense, but they’re going to take their time with his recovery and not rush him back to the field to ensure he is fully healthy and has the best chance to avoid injury again. Ultimately, the decision will be up to the training and coaching staffs for when Overshown returns. It’s not easy to physically overcome back-to-back devasting knee injuries like that. For some, it can be difficult to get over the mental hurdle as well. In Overshown’s case, trusting yourself is the biggest piece of clearing that hurdle. “I’d say it’s hard when the faith is not there. I feel like since I got hurt, I’ve always been the one to say ‘Okay, what do I have to do next to make sure I’m ready for when this point happens,’” Overshown said. The Cowboys have unlocked Javonte Williams, and the whole offense is benefitting – Nick Harris, Fort Worth Star-Telegram After Sunday’s win, Dak Prescott called Javonte Williams a key to their entire offense. In Sunday’s 40-37 win over the New York Giants, his impact was felt with 130 total yards, including a 30-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter that was attributed as his longest run since his rookie season in 2021. In two games, his 3.6 rush EPA (expected points added) is fourth among all running backs in the NFL, per NFL Pro. While his lightning-fast start out of the gates is a surprise to many, it hasn’t been for head coach Brian Schottenheimer. “I’ve been the high guy on Javonte the whole time,” Schottenheimer said. “I’m just telling you, if you find a running back in the National Football League that plays harder than this guy, more physical than this guy, I’d love to see it. I’m sure there are some that are on that same level, but I don’t think there’s anybody that plays the game more physical.” After tearing his ACL in 2022, Williams said over the offseason that he didn’t truly feel like he was back to his previous self until earlier this year. It makes sense, because the numbers show it. His 3.6 yards per carry over the last two seasons did not offer optimism coming into Dallas, but he has increased that total by a whole yard (4.6) through two games. His rush EPA in 2025 is the first time he’s been in the green in that category in his career after a -28.3 rush EPA in 2024 and a -46.8 rush EPA in 2023 which was fifth-worst across all running backs in the league. “I could not be more happy for that young man with what he’s had to go through, where he’s been,” Schottenheimer said. “It was so cool to see him break through, but he’s just getting started. I can promise you that.” The Chicago Bears have struggled to find balance under Ben Johnson. Rough Start Ben Johnson became one of the hottest candidates to take over as an NFL head coach thanks to his outstanding work as the Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator over the past three seasons. At 39, Johnson brings an energizing presence to a franchise that hasn’t reached the postseason since 2020, thanks to an expanded playoff format that year. Johnson played a key role in building the Lions’ dynamic offense, and the expectation is that he’ll work his magic to help quarterback Caleb Williams become one of the league’s elite. “Ben is a proven leader with a winning pedigree and a mind toward innovation,” Bears general manager Ryan Poles said when he introduced Johnson in January. “When we spent time together on the Zoom call, he basically came to the screen and was like, ‘I want to be there. I want to help you guys win,” Poles added. “And that really separated him from everybody else.” So far, Johnson’s NFL head coaching debut has been rocky, with losses in his first two games by a combined score of 79–45. Johnson is the 18th full-time head coach in the franchise’s 106-year history. Injury concerns The Bears have several key players nursing injuries entering their matchup against the Cowboys. Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett (knee) is listed as questionable, and his absence would be a significant blow to the Bears’ pass rush. The 11-year NFL veteran has recorded 36.5 career sacks. This is his first season in Chicago after spending his entire career with the Atlanta Falcons. Jarrett’s absence could give Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott a much more comfortable afternoon at Soldier Field. Another injured Bears player is wide receiver Jahdae Walker (ankle), who is

Tyler Booker kept the run game humming, Donovan Ezeiruaku brought some juice off the edge, and Jay Toia planted his cleats in the A-gaps. Not perfect, not quiet, and definitely not boring. How did they perform against the Giants in what was their first professional overtime game in the NFL? OG Tyler Booker (Game stats- Snaps: 89, Pressures Allowed: 4, Sacks Allowed: 1, Penalties: 0) Dallas committed 12 penalties for 106 yards, but none were on Booker, that’s a good place to start. For a rookie guard in a chaotic, overtime shootout, Booker checked two big boxes in this game, discipline and durability while being part of a line that churned out 135 rushing yards and protected well enough to a degree on 52 dropbacks. The tape notes to carry forward are standard rookie right guard pointers. He needs to work on cleaner fits on some doubles, quicker eyes for interior twists, and a firmer anchor when the pocket gets squeezed. Dallas had a handful of short-yardage rushes that got stoned. It’s not pinned solely on Booker, but interior timing and hand placement on double-teams, along with backside cutoffs needed to be cleaner. Even with only three sacks allowed, the Giants still logged eight QB hits, which reflects some bad leakage over a heavy throwing day for Dak. Booker added to that total with two hits and one sack that came off a well-timed twist that had Booker thrown immediately into panic mode. But all told, it was a solid day for Booker in a wild 40–37 win, and that’s the biggest takeaway for the rookie guard this week. DE Donovan Ezeiruaku (Game stats- Snaps: 26, Total Tackles: 0, Pressures: 2, Sacks: 0) Ezeiruaku’s game against New York looked like a promising rookie edge rotation outing. He was assignment-sound, penalty-free, had a couple of clear disruptions but no stat-sheet pops. His snap count is up from last week, so the arrow’s pointing up on playing time. The coaching tape this week should hammer finishing through the play, tighter lane discipline in four-man fronts, and converting those opportunities into sacks. If he stacks that, the numbers will follow. CB Shavon Revel Jr. Non-Football Injury list RB Jaydon Blue Inactive LB Shemar James Inactive OT Ajani Cornelius Inactive DT Jay Toia (Game stats- Snaps: 19, Total Tackles: 1, Pressures: 0, Sacks: 0) Toia dressed and did his job in the rotation without errors, but didn’t register on the stat sheet other than an assisted tackle. Against a line that could be moved inside, that’s a missed chance to stack buzzworthy reps. To put it all in perspective for Toia, the defensive line only registered two sacks (James Houston and Kenny Clark), and the unit struggled to overpower a weak Giants offensive line. Toia was far from the problem but also didn’t take his chances when given the opportunity. The coaching tape this week should get Toia to lower his pads, quicker shed timing on inside zone, and converting anchor into visible pocket push on passing downs. If he turns a couple of those stalemates into tackles or a hurry, he’ll force more snaps his way.

In this installment, it’s time to give some love to Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams, who seems to have come all the way back from a horrible knee injury that looked to scuttle his career a few years ago. In the 2024 season, the Dallas Cowboys had just six rushing touchdowns, the NFL’s worst total. To put that in perspective, the Philadelphia Eagles had SEVEN rushing touchdowns in their 55-23 pantsing of the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, and the Buffalo Bills led the league with 32 rushing scores. The Cowboys ranked 29th in Rushing EPA at -60.0, ahead of only the Miami Dolphins, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Tennessee Titans (who probably should have kept that Derrick Henry guy). Dallas had just 42 runs of 10 or more yards; the Baltimore Ravens with the aforementioned Derrick Henry led the league with 104. To expect a functional offense with what the Cowboys put together in the run game was a fool’s errand. With Rico Dowdle and the last remnants of Zeke Elliott as the primary backs, Dallas just didn’t have the guys to get it done. And as the 2025 Cowboys were assessing other financial decisions for better or worse, they weren’t going to pull a Howie Roseman/Saquon Barkley lever and sign a veteran running back to a large contract and hope that back could define their offense. Instead, they signed former Denver Broncos second-round pick Javonte Williams to a one-year, $3 million contract with $2 million guaranteed. The best back in the 2021 draft class (in my humble opinion), Williams came out of North Carolina as a speed back with destructive power — he forced 71 missed tackles in just 157 carries in 2020, and he also amassed 27 carries of 15 or more yards. Williams’ rookie season with the Broncos seemed to have him on the path — he gained 903 yards and scored four touchdowns on 203 carries, with 63 forced missed tackles, and nine runs of 15 or more yards. Then, everything sadly changed. In Week 4 of the 2022 season, Williams suffered a brutal knee injury in which he had damage to his ACL. LCL, and posterolateral corner. That season was obviously over for him, he was not the same back in 2023, and even in 2024 for the Broncos, he became more of a receiving back. It seemed that Javonte Williams had become yet another promising player whose potential was scuttled by horrible injury luck, and we might never see what he could have become. That a back of Williams’ previous caliber was available on the cheap like that told the story, but Williams was about to craft another tale. Through two games with the Cowboys, he’s gained 151 yards and scored three rushing touchdowns on 33 carries, and while he’s done more than just establish himself as a fine red-zone back for a team in desperate need of that, this one skill certainly helps. Against the New York Giants on Sunday in a 40-37 win in which there were seven scoring plays in the fourth quarter alone for both teams, Williams gained 97 yards and scored a touchdown on his 18 carries. He forced six missed tackles, and had three runs of 10 or more yards. The passing game was obviously the main thing in this game — Dak Prescott threw the ball 52 times, completing 38 passes for 361 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and a passer rating of 96.7 — but when Dallas needed explosive plays in the run game, they were there for once. “God, you know, I tell you what, man, I saw he got 97 yards,” head coach Brian Schottenheimer said of Williams after the win. “I wish he would have gotten three more. I’ve been the high guy on Javonte the whole time. And the way he plays this game, man, I’m just telling you. If you find a running back in the National Football League that plays harder than this guy, more physical than this guy, I’d love to see it. And I’m sure there are some that are on that same level. “But I don’t think there’s anybody that plays the game more physical. And I could not be more happy for that young man with what he’s had to go through, where he’s been. And it was so cool to see him break through. “But he’s just getting started. I can promise you that.” Well, when the Cowboys play the Chicago Bears next Sunday, maybe Schottenheimer can engineer a few more carries to get Williams that 100-yard game — which would be his first since he had two in his rookie season (including a 17-carry, 111-yard game against the Cowboys). It’s about the only thing Javonte Williams hasn’t done so far for his new team. 0 CommentsSee More:
