"The Dallas Cowboys addressed their defensive deficiencies before the NFL trade deadline by acquiring All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson. The moves target weaknesses in a front seven that has struggled as part of one of the league's lowest-ranked units. The secondary remains an area of concern, though the Cowboys expect Donovan Wilson, Malik Hooker and Shavon Revel Jr. to return from injury following their bye week and play in the Week 11 game against the Las Vegas Raiders."
""The Cowboys are done. They're done. They were favorites last night. The [Arizona] Cardinals dominate them, even though they get a blocked punt touchdown. I'm done thinking about the Cowboys as even a frisky spoiler. Listen, they're dangerous week to week because the offense can be that good. There are now 3-5-1. They had plenty of opportunities to not be done. But now, after the Raiders game, they go [Philadelphia] Eagles, [Kansas City] Chiefs, [Detroit] Lions. They're finished," Wright stated."
"The assessment reflects the reality of Dallas' position in the NFC playoff race. Its three wins this season came against teams with a combined record of 6-20, including an overtime victory against the New York Giants and comfortable wins against the New York Jets and Washington Commanders. The Cowboys also tied the Green Bay Packers at home in a game when they allowed 40 points."
The Cowboys acquired All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson before the trade deadline to shore up a struggling front seven. The defense ranks among the league's lowest units, with the secondary still a concern despite expectations that Donovan Wilson, Malik Hooker and Shavon Revel Jr. will return after the bye. An assessment declared the Cowboys' season over, citing recent losses and a difficult upcoming schedule against Philadelphia, Kansas City and Detroit. Dallas has three wins against teams with a combined 6-20 record, tied a game while allowing 40 points, and likely needs at least six more wins for playoff contention.
