The Dallas Cowboys rebound with a 38-21 win over the Eagles but face fresh injury concerns ahead of their Week 8 home clash with the Arizona Cardinals. Tight end Luke Schoonmaker (groin) is doubtful, and defensive tackle Kenny Clark (back) is listed questionable, leaving the defensive line’s interior in doubt. Returner KaVontae Turpin (ribs) and linebacker Dee Winters (calf) are out, while receiver George Pickens is questionable. Despite the setbacks, the offense is eager to maintain its season‑high 204‑yard rushing attack as they aim to break a 3‑4 slump and snap the Cardinals’ four‑game winning streak.
The Dallas Cowboys are still searching for a home victory over the Arizona Cardinals – their last win at Texas Stadium came in 2005. Since 2008, Arizona holds an 8-1 edge, the worst NFC record the Cowboys have faced. Despite a revamped roster and new head coach Mike LaFleur, key players like QB Jacoby Brissett, WR CeeDee Lamb, and safety Budda Baker remain unchanged, and Lamb admits the Cardinals always bring more energy. A win this Sunday would snap a 20‑year home drought and keep Dallas afloat in the NFC East after a recent loss to the Eagles.
After a Week 7 win over the Eagles lifted the Dallas Cowboys to 3‑4 and kept them alive in a weak NFC East, they face a 2‑5 Arizona Cardinals team that has defeated Dallas in eight of their last nine meetings. Despite being seven‑point favorites at home, only 57% of fans predict a Cowboys victory and just 24% feel confident about the franchise’s direction. The blog polls fans on the outcome, with a suggested 31‑20 score.
After a Week 7, 35‑21 loss to the Rams that left the Las Vegas Raiders at 3‑4, insider Tom Pelissero reports that pass‑rusher Max Crosby wants to stay in Las Vegas and isn’t pushing for a trade, despite lingering Cowboys interest and a looming November 10 deadline. The 29‑year‑old, who signed a three‑year, $106.5 million extension in 2025, previously fell out of a Ravens deal after a failed physical. Crosby voiced frustration over the skid but remains focused on a playoff push as the Raiders face the Jets in Week 8, putting GM John Spytek under pressure to decide his future.
CeeDee Lamb powers the Dallas Cowboys to a 38‑21 Monday Night Football win over the Philadelphia Eagles, snapping a two‑game skid. Lamb finishes with five catches, 74 yards and two touchdowns, including a 16‑yard strike that regains the lead. A snapshot of Lamb celebrating a TD amid Eagles fans flashing the middle finger goes viral, and he shares the photo on Instagram. He also praises teammate George Pickens’ 21‑yard toe‑tap score. The victory moves Dallas to 3‑4 while the Eagles slip to 2‑5.

His daughters Rheagan and Skylar marked the occasion with Instagram posts featuring his golden bust and a group photo, adding a personal touch to the honor. The ceremony also celebrated fellow inductees Maurkice Pouncey, Andre Hastings and Brandon Boykin.

With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, Maxx Crosby remains committed to the Las Vegas Raiders, despite early 2026 trade buzz linking him to Dallas. Reports say Raiders GM John Spytek expects calls, keeping a blockbuster move possible, while Crosby’s three‑year, $106.5 million extension runs through 2029. The Cowboys, who pursued Crosby since March and recently acquired edge rusher Rashan Gary, have only 10 sacks in seven games (27th in the league). As both teams sit 3‑4, Dallas will host the Cardinals Sunday and face the Colts on Nov. 8—the final chance to reshuffle the pass rush before the deadline.
The author admits the Dallas Cowboys’ defense is lacking but is upbeat about the Philadelphia Eagles heading into their Week 8 matchup against the Washington Commanders on Oct. 31, 2026. After a modest offensive showing last week—marred by backup‑quarterback hiccups and missing starters—the Eagles look to build on improved run and pass play. A win would lift them to 3‑5 and keep a solid 3‑1 record within the NFC East, setting up a divisional clash with the Giants before a bye. The piece highlights coaching adjustments by offensive coordinator Sean Mannion and the hope that a healthier, more disciplined defense can finally deliver a competitive showing.
The blog breaks down three 2027 Dallas Cowboys draft prospects highlighted in Week 9 games. Running back Jadan Baugh (Florida) has 763 yards and 13 TDs on 135 carries, showcasing power, agility and after‑contact yards, making him a potential Day 2 back if he falls past the first round. Georgia linebacker Chris Cole, with 40 tackles, 8.5 TFL and an 88.9 PFF coverage grade, could bolster Dallas' evolving linebacker corps alongside Jaishawn Barham. Arizona offensive tackle Tristan Bounds (6‑8, 320 lb) has allowed only eight pressures in 462 snaps and holds a 78.2 PFF pass‑blocking grade, offering elite length for the Cowboys’ O‑line. The piece evaluates each player's fit and draft‑day outlook.
The Philadelphia Eagles tumble into a five‑game losing streak, the longest in the NFC and second‑longest in the NFL, sitting third in the NFC East but still a 5.5‑point underdog against the 1‑0 Washington Commanders on Sunday night. Offensively they rank 31st (264.9 yards, 18.1 points per game) and defensively 27th, surrendering 371.3 yards and 25 points per game. A 38‑21 loss to Dallas, featuring a season‑high 416 yards allowed, highlighted the collapse of defensive tackles Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis. With star WR Terry McLaurin out for the season and head coach Nick Sirianni and DC Vic Fangio under scrutiny, doubts grow about the Eagles’ ability to reverse the slide.

During the Cowboys' 38–21 win over the Eagles, a fan in a No. 88 jersey went viral after drinking straight from a Don Julio bottle behind CeeDee Lamb’s touchdown celebration. The photo and a follow‑up video of the fan dancing and taunting Eagles supporters spread rapidly on social media, earning him the tongue‑in‑cheek title “Fan of the Year.” Lamb finished with five catches, 74 yards and two scores, keeping Dallas on pace for a top‑three receiving ranking.

Surprisingly, the Dallas Cowboys are getting quality right tackle play out of Terence Steele this season.
Brian Schottenheimer can lean on three positives as the Cowboys head into Week 8 against Arizona. First, Dallas finally embraced a creative ground attack in a 38‑21 win over the Eagles, using pin pulls, traps and misdirection—a formula that could exploit the Cardinals’ middling rush defense (6th in EPA/play, 20th in success). Second, the offense showed newfound down‑field aggression, generating big passing plays against a secondary that ranks near the bottom in drop‑back EPA and success. Third, tight end Brevyn Spann‑Ford’s expanded role after his contract extension adds blocking strength and versatile looks in 11‑ and 12‑personnel, opening up both run and pass options.
Arizona Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love is cleared to play in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. The 21‑year‑old missed the last two games with an ankle injury but returned to full practice on Friday, earning the green light from head coach Mike LaFleur. Love has 245 rushing yards and one touchdown on 67 carries (3.7 yards/carry) this season, and the Cowboys currently allow the league’s fewest rushing yards (145.7 per game), offering a prime opportunity for a breakout performance. Bam Knight filled in during Love’s absence.
Former Cowboys safety Darren Woodson likens rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to Deion Sanders after just three games. Debuting in Week 4 against the Texans, Porter has recorded three pass defenses and seven tackles, using his 6‑foot‑2, 34‑inch‑arm frame to jam receivers and trash‑talk opponents. Woodson praises Porter’s aggressive, press‑style play and pedigree, calling him a promising start for Dallas despite earlier doubts about his trade from Pittsburgh.
Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman says he regrets putting owner Jerry Jones in an uncomfortable position by asking about a possible role with the franchise on Dallas sports radio “The Musers.” Aikman explained the question was unfair to Jones, who later praised Aikman's capabilities but clarified no discussions are underway. The comments come as Aikman’s future at ESPN remains uncertain after the network’s $108 million extension for Joe Buck, leaving his broadcasting prospects roughly 50‑50. Readers learn why the former Hall of Famer feels uneasy and what the ownership reaction was.

The game airs on FOX at 11 AM Mountain (1 PM Eastern) and streams on NFL+, with Kenny Albert and Greg Olsen calling the action.

Despite the league’s worst defense, Porter shines while rookie safety Caleb Downs urges the squad to finally break the Cardinals’ curse — a streak unchanged since 2017. Meanwhile, Quinnen Williams improves but admits he’s not yet at his peak, and the Cowboys deal with injuries to wideout KaVontae Turpin and linebacker Dee Winters.
