Happy Victory Monday, Dallas Cowboys Nation! The ‘Boys pulled off the big win over the Washington Commanders in dominant fashion, thanks to a well-rounded effort.
The offense was firing on all cylinders like it has been all season long — including an early splash play from CeeDee Lamb in his return — but the defense actually stepped up and made some big plays of its own after adjustments from defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus.

George Pickens has been balling out for the Cowboys since being traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers following the NFL Draft. Pickens’ fresh start has rejuvenated his career, and he has since re-established himself as one of the top wide receivers in the NFL.
Pickens is in a contract year, so the Cowboys will have to decide whether they want to pay two wide receivers top dollar next season or flirt with letting Pickens walk if he hits the open market.
Jerry Jones seems interested in bringing Pickens back, but at what price? The good news is that Pickens’ agent, who derailed Jones’ relationship with Micah Parsons, is not expected to be an issue.
