TL;DR

  • Dallas Cowboys achieved consecutive wins against Eagles and Chiefs.
  • The team shows increased grit and determination under coach Brian Schottenheimer.
  • Dallas is ninth in NFC playoff picture, needing wins to improve standing.
  • Cowboys face Detroit Lions next, a team ranked ahead of them.

The Dallas Cowboys just look like a different football team now.

If you'd told even Cowboys supporters earlier this season that they'd secure wins against last year's Super Bowl participants, the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, consecutively, they'd have been disbelieving.

The Cowboys have indeed achieved this, and they've done so remarkably well. Dallas staged an unlikely comeback against the Eagles and subsequently dominated the Chiefs on Thursday afternoon.

The players on this Cowboys squad exhibit considerably more grit and determination than we initially perceived, with everyone giving their all for head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who evidently shares a strong rapport with his team.

Schottenheimer's electrifying postgame locker room address following Thursday's victory serves as ample proof of the former.

We must exercise caution and avoid premature conclusions. A significant journey remains, and the Cowboys face substantial effort to extricate themselves from the predicament they created early in the season.

However, it's undeniable that this squad is progressing positively, and supporters have every reason to be enthusiastic about the team's performance since their break.

Should the Chicago Bears manage to defeat the Eagles this Friday, Dallas would then trail by two wins and be one loss behind in the NFC East.

Regarding the complete NFC playoff picture, Dallas is presently in the ninth position, and they'll stay there if the Carolina Panthers are defeated on Sunday.

For the upcoming week, the Cowboys face another challenging game versus the Detroit Lions, who are positioned directly ahead of them in the conference rankings.
