Cowboys fans have hope revived after recent games

It is amazing what a two-game win streak, plus Quinnen Williams, can do for a team. The Cowboys entered their bye week looking like a burnt turkey. There was no salvaging what the beginning of the season had brought, or so it seemed.

Jerry Jones, to his credit on this one, decided to go for it anyway and made a trade for Williams. It was a risky move, one that many pegged as foolish. But Williams has transformed the Dallas defense, which was the unit that was killing the Cowboys season. In full context, it wasn’t just Williams.

Getting linebacker Logan Wilson from another trade, matched with some timely returns from the injury list like DeMarvion Overshown and Shavon Revel, were some of the other moves that also greatly helped the defensive unit. Even Matt Eberflus, the under fire defensive coordinator, has started to look better as he has altered his scheme to accommodate his new contributors.

Now the Cowboys are riding a two-game win streak and have their eyes focused toward a playoff run. Whether they get there or not is unknown, but just the fact that they are at least ‘in the hunt’ is a stark difference from the team that lost to the Arizona Cardinals before the bye.

We asked how Cowboys fans felt about the team’s direction now, and 75% of respondents are confident the team is headed in the right direction. Whether it is for the rest of 2025, or a sneak peek at what may be in 2026, fans are feeling much better now.
