Dallas leads the NFL in holding opponents to 19.3 yards per kick return, and Schottenheimer credited special teams coordinator Nick Sorensen and kicker Brandon Aubrey on Friday.
Schottenheimer said Feder brings him 25 to 40 situations from around the league each week, and that Dallas went for two at Philadelphia because the staff liked its quarterback draw.
The Cowboys coach and play caller said he rewatches the full week of practice every Saturday, and the sheet is usually finished Saturday night unless Dallas plays in prime time.
Schottenheimer said Arizona will blitz from the moment it gets off the bus and that the Cowboys have not punished pressure enough this season, which he expects to change Sunday.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ recent success hinges on a dominant rushing attack, not a passing game. After crushing the Cowboys and the Panthers on the ground, the Bucs have won two of their last three contests. However, the upcoming Sunday matchup poses a tougher test for their run game, with opponents expected to tighten their defensive front. The article breaks down the factors that could limit Tampa Bay’s ground attack and what the team must adjust to maintain its winning streak.
Schottenheimer coached Brissett in Indianapolis, and he said Friday the Cardinals quarterback knows how to use a tight end like McBride, who has 59 catches in seven games.
Erin Andrews reveals on her "Calm Down with Erin and Charissa" podcast that Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott once called her out for wearing a Christmas‑green suit during a 2022 Cowboys‑Eagles overtime game (40‑34). Andrews says she avoids team colors and sticks to neutral tones, but players sometimes notice her choices. She also recounts past outfit buzz, like a black‑and‑white fur coat at a 49ers‑Eagles wild‑card game and a magenta top that drew criticism at LSU‑Clemson. Andrews argues female broadcasters shouldn’t be forced into safety, emphasizing weather‑appropriate, confidence‑driven style.
Arizona has won eight of the last nine meetings, and Schottenheimer put the Cowboys at minus-11 in turnovers across those games before Sunday’s noon kickoff at AT&T Stadium.
Schottenheimer said it will be hard for Winters to make it back Sunday and that Turpin is probably another week away, while Luke Schoonmaker still has to test his groin.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says he won’t chase the trade frenzy as the NFL deadline looms. Speaking on 105.3 The Fan, Jones insists Dallas has already bolstered its roster with players like cornerback Joey Porter Jr., DT Quinnen Williams and pass rusher Rashan Gary, and he’ll only consider a deal if it’s truly “outstanding.” With the Cowboys sitting 3‑4, struggling defensively and holding just four 2027 picks, rivals such as Seattle, San Francisco and Chicago are splashing first‑round capital. The November 10 deadline approaches, but Jones signals no major move unless a special opportunity arises.
CeeDee Lamb fuels the Dallas Cowboys’ 38-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on Oct. 31, 2026, hauling in two touchdown catches and posting five receptions for 74 yards. A post‑game photo shows Lamb celebrating in front of booing Eagles fans, sparking a viral Instagram share. The performance lifts Lamb’s season totals to 53 catches, 651 yards and six TDs through seven games, positioning him among the league’s top receivers. The Cowboys aim to build on the breakthrough as they head to a Sunday showdown against the Arizona Cardinals.
Former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, whose ESPN contract ends after this season, says he regrets putting owner Jerry Jones in an awkward spot by discussing a possible return to Dallas. Aikman told Cowboys Roundtable and 96.7 The Ticket that his questions forced Jones into a “corner” he didn’t deserve, though Jones praised Aikman's work ethic and left the door open for a future role. Meanwhile, Aikman will continue broadcasting with Joe Buck, covering next week’s Bears‑Seahawks game and the Super Bowl, as the Cowboys sit 3‑4 and seek new direction.
After a 1-7 start to the 2026 season, Indianapolis Colts owner Carlie Irsay‑Gordon fires GM Chris Ballard and launches a fire‑sale rebuild. Interim GM Ed Dodds trades star guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to San Francisco, while the team still grapples with a 2025 blockbuster deal that sent two first‑round picks and receiver Adonai Mitchell to the Jets for Sauce Gardner. Fans on X lambaste Irsay‑Gordon’s hands‑on sidelines presence, calling it “annoying” and “girl‑boss” micromanagement. Amid the turmoil, star RB Jonathan Taylor (587 yards, 8 TDs) says he’s not seeking a trade, though WR Josh Downs has requested one. The Colts now face the Jaguars and Cowboys while searching for a permanent GM and evaluating coach Shane Steichen’s future.

Cowboys cornerback Joey Porter Jr. admits he’s frustrated after surrendering a couple of short receptions, emphasizing his high personal standards and enjoying games where he’s tested, like against the Packers. Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter, with 18 tackles, five TFLs, three sacks and three forced fumbles in seven weeks, calls his own performance “trash” and urges the defense—currently 2-5 and ranked near the bottom in sacks and yards allowed—to improve every facet. Meanwhile, Giants head coach Joe Schoen says the 4-2-1 NFC East‑leading team is exploring all roster options despite lacking fourth‑ and fifth‑round picks, targeting short‑ and long‑term value in trade talks.
Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love returns from an ankle injury and is slated to play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Love, the team's third overall pick, could be a key factor as the Cardinals look to lean on their rushing attack against the league's worst rush defense, which has surrendered over 1,000 yards and averages 4.7 yards per carry. The Cardinals average just 3.7 yards per carry, matching Love's numbers, making this a potential breakout game despite the Cowboys' depleted right guard line.
The Dallas Cowboys lose key weapons ahead of their NFC East showdown with the Arizona Cardinals as wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (rib injury) and safety Dee Winters (calf) are ruled out for the week. Both were sidelined after missing practice all week. Linebacker Marist Liufau (forearm) and defensive end Jonathan Bullard (calf) remain questionable, as does tight end Luke Schoonmaker (groin), while safety P.J. Locke (foot) is a possible return. On the Cardinals side, starter Carson Beck is healthy, but DT Walter Nolen (ankle) sits out, and top draft pick Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is cleared to play.

Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott delivers a stark warning to the Cowboys after their 3-4 start, emphasizing the need to protect home‑field advantage ahead of the Oct. 27 showdown with the Arizona Cardinals. He cites the 24‑16 loss to Tampa Bay—highlighted by Bucky Irving’s 165 rushing yards and a costly fumble by KaVontae Turpin—as evidence of missed tackles and turnover woes. Prescott points to the recent 30‑14 win over Philadelphia, where Dallas posted 204 rushing yards and 200+ passing yards, as the standard to repeat. A victory would even the record at 4‑4 and secure back‑to‑back wins, while another home defeat could jeopardize the Cowboys’ NFC East standing.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones downplays the need for more trades after the Chicago Bears acquired star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. Speaking on 105.3 The Fan, Jones says a trade would require a "dynamic situation" and a willingness to part with draft picks. While the Cowboys recently added defensive back Joey Porter Jr., they appear reluctant to spend further assets, though they remain interested in Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen. The article notes the team's cautious approach as the trade deadline looms.
