We're down to it for the Dallas Cowboys. One more football game to play, a Week 18 tilt against an NFC East opponent, then months and months of the offseason broken up temporarily by free agency and the draft. Dallas will hit the road in the finale of the 2025 season to take on the New York Giants, fresh off of likely losing the first overall pick to the Las Vegas Raiders.
I just constantly remind guys, just have fun. As stressful as football is, as much as it hurts the body, it's the most fun you're going to have in this life, I guarantee it. That's the message [Canales] constantly preaches. It's all about us. It's always going to be about us, and that's not going to change. And here we are in Week 18 ... the moment of it's all about us.
The Commanders didn't expect Quan Martin to fall flat. All the offseason hype was centered on the 2023 second-round pick making a monumental leap this season, potentially even entering breakout status and surging into the conversation among the best young safeties around the league. That has not gone according to plan. Martin has been way short of the required standards this season.
