The embarrassment continues for the Dallas Cowboys. They moved to 3-7 on the season after Monday evening’s 34-10 loss to the Houston Texans and are performing like one of many worst groups within the league proper now. With the way in which the schedule performs out the subsequent few weeks, we are able to in all probability anticipate the losses to proceed to pile up.
Sadly, there’s not rather a lot to stay up for the remainder the season for the Cowboys. The poor play continues all through the roster, however there are a couple of particular person gamers value conserving monitor of the remainder the season. Whereas it is in all probability tough to look on the brilliant aspect of issues proper now, there was some good blended in with the dangerous and ugly from this Week 11 loss.
THE GOOD – 2025 NFL Draft positioning
The 34-10 loss to the Texans was the Cowboys fifth consecutive shedding effort. Whereas that usually can be considered as a destructive, so far as draft positioning is worried it is really factor. If the season had been to finish immediately, Dallas would maintain the ninth total choose within the first spherical within the 2025 NFL Draft. This is able to be the primary time since 2016 they’d a choose within the Prime 10. With the way in which issues are going it would not be in any respect shocking if their draft positioning continues to enhance so long as they proceed shedding.
THE BAD – Accidents proceed to pile up
Accidents continued to pile up for the Cowboys within the shedding effort in opposition to the Texans Monday evening. Jake Ferguson, Tyler Guyton, Tyler Smith, Zack Martin, and Markquese Bell all exited the sport early and did not return leaving their availability for subsequent week’s recreation up within the air proper now. That is merely a beat up group proper now and one that’s operating out of our bodies to insert into the beginning lineup every week. With the brutal schedule forward and the brief turnaround every week, the well being of this group is a significant concern.
THE UGLY – Cooper Rush enjoying over Trey Lance
Cooper Rush accomplished 32 of 55 passes for 354 yards and one landing on Monday Night time Soccer within the shedding effort in opposition to the Texans. Whereas it was good to see him unfold the ball round and see some success within the passing recreation, the query stays why he continues to get the nod because the starter over Trey Lance. With nothing left to play for the remainder of the season it is a excellent alternative to see what the younger QB can do and whether or not or not he is value making an attempt to maintain round as Dak Prescott’s backup for subsequent season.
