Members of the Cowboys corporation, Cowboys fans around often the world and also who merely want to see often the Cowboys win some playoff games again:
Dallas took over the NFC East throughout 2021. Which, well, was not saying much, given often the state of the category. But hey, the Cowboys posted a perfect 6-0 record against their best rivals, winning the divisional crown by three online games. They closed out often the regular season with six wins in their closing six contests. Once yet again, though, a promising strategy ended without a new playoff win, much less a Super Bowl title. Based in dallas hasn’t even come inside sniffing distance of the Lombardi Trophy since the mid-1990s. Are the ‘Boys just about any closer this year?
That’s the question we’ll check out in this file. Before we dive in, We want to mark often the recent passing of original Cowboys running back Marion Barber III, who past away in his apartment about June 1, just being unfaithful days before his thirty ninth birthday. Miserable. Far very young. Barber spent the first six NFL months in Dallas, earning an expert Bowl bid when they rushed for a career-high 975 yards and twelve touchdowns in 2007. Although honestly, the top summation connected with his rugged, inspiring participating in style comes via a new random first-down carry adequately dubbed “The Greatest 2-Yard Run of All Moment.” What a soldier. Rest in peace.
Dallas Fire-Rescue crews are searching for two people who were swept into a creek near Mountain Creek Lake.
Jason Evans, DFR spokesperson, said crews were called at about 1:40 p.m. Saturday after a 911 call reported someone was swept into the water near the 4500 block of Mountain Creek Parkway, Evans said.
Evans said reports indicate one person was swept into the creek while a second person jumped into the creek to save them before being swept away themself.
DFR, Dallas police and game wardens are investigating, Evans said.
Any team that is coached by Mike Tomlin is going to be ready to play on any given Sunday. Such was the case for the 2023 Steelers who finished 10-7 and made it to the playoffs once again. Tomlin has never had a losing season during his tenure in Pittsburgh and the team has built a reputation for being a tough, well-coached football team under his watch.
Fast forward to 2024 and this Steelers team looks vastly different but under Mike Tomlin it will still be a disciplined football team who should be respected.
2023 Record: 10-7
Last Meeting: 11/8/2020 Steelers win, 24-19. Dallas Cowboys lead series 17-16-0
Head Coach: Mike Tomlin (176-101-2 as a head coach)
Key Additions: QB Justin Fields, QB Russell Wilson, LB Patrick Queen
Key Departures: QB Kenny Pickett, WR Diontae Jackson, WR Allen Robinson II
What more can you say about T.J. Watt that hasn’t already been said about the playmaker? Watt may be the most feared pass rusher in the game today and the Cowboys better have a plan for how to stop him on Sunday.
With a rookie left tackle in Tyler Guyton, and Terrence Steele at right tackle who has been known to be shaky at times, figuring out how to limit Watt and his impact will be key to the team’s success.
Watt has the ability to completely change the momentum of a game and if the Cowboys don’t come prepared, he’s going to be a game-wrecker once again. Whether it’s by keeping a running back in or chipping him with a tight end, the Cowboys are going to have to maneuver their offense around where Watt is in order to limit his impact.
With the shakiness that is the Dallas Cowboys secondary George Pickens has a chance to make a massive impact on Sunday night. The Cowboys are battling injury issues at corner so they will be undermanned even if it is just DaRon Bland who misses the game.
Pickens, a dynamic pass catcher out of Georgia, is rounding into form as one of the games best receivers. Trevon Diggs will travel some, but Mike Zimmer doesn’t ask him to do it all the time, setting up a situation where Pickens can find a favorable matchup against other cornerbacks the Cowboys trot out there.
Last week he went off for over 100 yards receiving. If the Cowboys aren’t careful and don’t have a plan for it, they could see Pickens do something like that once again.
Below you’ll find the top performances in rushing, receiving and passing from Dallas-area Texas high school football players in Week 6.
