"Thinking about the future is not often a characteristic that describes those visiting the "Sin City" of Las Vegas, and it's one the Dallas Cowboys will be looking to delay at least a week by renewing hope on the 2025 season and get in the win column for the first time since week seven. The Cowboys spent their bye week making trades to improve the defense with players that will remain under contract into 2026, but are hopeful the full scope of what they're adding to that side of the ball can also help support an offense that needs to get back to scoring, and make the team a balanced one that can make a late season surge."
"Off of losses to two teams they've historically struggled against, the Cowboys not being able to turn fortunes around against either team under first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer has them unfortunately right back in a familiar position of being outside the playoff conversation looking in. Another thing the Cowboys had time to do leading into Monday Night Football at the Raiders is look inward at their own operation, as they were on a bye week. The Raiders currently have the worst record of all remaining opponents on the Cowboys schedule, and Dallas has a slew of new faces they plan on introducing to the defensive lineup against them, so how Schotty's team looks against the Raiders off extra rest will be interesting."
"Coach Schottenheimer is still looking for his first primetime win as head coach, something he'll still have chances to do against the Lions and Vikings later this season, but getting win number one against a former mentor of his in Pete Carroll would be a great start. It was reported during the Cowboys' offseason coaching search that ended with Schottenheimer's hire that Jerry Jones reached out to Carroll at one point."
The Dallas Cowboys return from their bye week aiming to win for the first time since Week Seven on Monday Night Football in Las Vegas against the Raiders. The team made defensive trades that add players under contract through 2026 and hope those additions will also support an offense that has struggled to score. Losses to two historically difficult opponents have left the Cowboys outside the playoff picture. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer seeks his first primetime win. The Raiders represent the weakest remaining opponent on the schedule, and several new defensive faces will be introduced. Jerry Jones reportedly reached out to Pete Carroll during the offseason coaching search, and a win over Carroll would be notable for Schottenheimer.
