The Dallas Cowboys have reached the fork in the road of their 2025 season. Following their loss in Week 9, the club finds themselves two games under .500 with a 3-5-1 record and a minute chance of making the playoffs. With a gauntlet stretch starting in Week 12, they simply must leave Las Vegas with a victory or else all attention turns to the 2026 NFL draft.<\/p>\n
While onlookers see the Cowboys as underachievers and the Raiders as meeting downtrodden expectations, the truth is the teams are deservedly in the same spot, eyeballing top-10 picks. The first step in the Cowboys becoming the team some thought they were will be earning their next victory. Will it happen on Sunday?<\/p>\n
There are two teams having their bye week this week. The 8-2\u00a0Indianapolis Colts\u00a0are taking a breather as are the 2-8\u00a0New Orleans Saints. The New England Patriots (9-2) took down the New York Jets (2-8) on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
That’s six teams which won’t suit up on Sunday, in addition to the Dallas Cowboys and\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders, who won’t take the field until Monday night.<\/p>\n
