Two of their three wins have come in opposition to groups unlikely to make the playoffs within the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants, and so they acquired blown out by the New Orleans Saints, a group that’s now on a three-game dropping streak.
After establishing a 16-game residence profitable streak, the Cowboys have misplaced each of their video games at “Jerry World” to date this season.
Even worse, their schedule is about to get tough, with video games in opposition to the Detroit Lions in Week 6 adopted by the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans and Washington Commanders.

Cowherd additionally talked about Dallas’ weaknesses: a lackluster operating offense, an incapacity to cease the run defensively, and a scarcity of offensive weapons apart from star extensive receiver CeeDee Lamb.
Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott lately acquired enormous contract extensions, and people will make it subsequent to unimaginable for the group to usher in any impactful free brokers.
Prescott hasn’t performed his greatest soccer this season, and Dallas’ deficiencies have solely put extra stress on him to be constantly nice.
Expectations all the time run excessive for the Cowboys, however they’re extra top-heavy than they’ve been shortly, and a playoff berth isn’t a given for them this season.
