The window was opening for the Dallas Cowboys to squeak into the playoffs during the 2025 NFL season. Brian Schottenheimer had this offense playing at a high level after the bye week against a slew of tough opponents, giving fans some hope. But Matt Eberflus is slamming that window shut.
This Cowboys defense looked like a completely changed unit after their Week 10 hiatus, but that has proved to just be a flash in the pan against a lowly Las Vegas Raiders team. Reinforcements at every level haven't been enough for Eberflus' unit, as they got gashed once again on Sunday Night Football.
