Cowboys road woes, suspect defense keep 2025 season from liftoff in Denver
"The 2025 Dallas Cowboys continue to be incapable of getting out of their own way, and looking anything close to the team they are at home in tough road games. Now at 3-4-1 and a full three games behind the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles, the Cowboys still having their home game against the Eagles coming up in four weeks is not enough to look forward to when it comes to reaching the playoffs by winning the NFC East."
"Matt Eberflus' defense, down multiple key starters in the secondary again, was no match at all for the Broncos short passing game. That led to the deep passing game getting going, and also opened up the running lanes for Denver to look like the much better and more balanced offense compared to the Cowboys own top-scoring offense. This will surely be a point of frustration for Brian Schottenheimer."
Dallas enters week eight at 3-4-1, three games behind the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles, with a home meeting against them in four weeks. The 44-24 loss at Denver featured the Broncos dictating pace and preventing Dallas from finding an offensive rhythm. Matt Eberflus' defense, missing key secondary starters, could not stop Denver's short passing game, which set up explosive deep throws and opened running lanes. The defeat continued an eight-game losing streak to Denver and marked the third decisive Cowboys loss to the Broncos since 2017 under a different head coach. Better road play in Las Vegas, Detroit, Washington, and New Jersey is required to keep playoff hopes alive.
