The Dallas Cowboys take the field in Week 7 of the 2025-26 NFL season for a high-stakes NFC East showdown with the Washington Commanders.
Both teams are coming off of losses and will be fighting to get back into the win column with second-place in the division on the line.
Dallas will be without All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs for the matchup after he suffered a mystery concussion in an “accident” at his home, while the Commanders will be down their two starting wide receivers, Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel.

Alex Kemp’s crew will call Sunday afternoon’s game between the Cowboys and Commanders. Kemp was a side judge since joining the NFL in 2014, but was promoted to a head referee in 2018. He is the son of the late NFL side judge and referee, Stan Kemp.
In 2023, Kemp went viral after an exchange with then-Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, who was interrupting him over an intentional grounding call. Kemp quipped, “I’m talking to America here.”
“I’m talking to America here.” 🤣😂 That’s CMU alumnus, Alex Kemp, delivering one of the greatest referee soundbites in pro sports history, while working the Lions-Seahawks game on Sunday. Alex has been an official in the NFL since 2014. #WeDoNFLofficiating #FireUpChips pic.twitter.com/gXjZBtqKe3
