The Dallas Cowboys have engineered a remarkable mid-season transformation, securing three consecutive victories against top NFL opponents after struggling through the first nine games. This impressive streak has revitalized their playoff prospects following a disappointing 3-5-1 start.
Dallas’s resurgence began with a decisive 33-16 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, followed by a crucial 24-21 win against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys completed their impressive streak with a 31-28 victory over the AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs.
This three-game stretch represents one of the most challenging sequences any NFL team has faced this season, demonstrating Dallas’s capacity to compete with the league’s elite franchises.

We know the fourth quarter’s going to come, and when it does, we know we’re going to find a way to win.”
The Cowboys accomplished the rare feat of defeating the previous two Super Bowl participants within a six-day period, including a critical divisional victory against the Eagles.

— Saint George Insurance Brokerage Inc. (@SaintGeorgein) November 28, 2025Dallas’s defensive unit has emerged as a formidable challenge for opponents, despite the absence of All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons. The group has benefited from contributions by new additions Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson, alongside returning players DeMarvion Overshown and Shavon Revel.
This defensive improvement, combined with consistently productive offensive performances and exceptional special teams play, has created a complete team capable of competing against any opponent in the league.
The Cowboys now enter the season’s crucial final stretch playing their best football at the most important time, having demonstrated they can defeat the NFL’s top teams through balanced, clutch performances.
