Tony Pollard saved the Cowboys Sunday after Ezekiel Elliott felt a tug on his calf that led to him missing the first game of his career due to injury

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy celebrated his team’s resilience in the win over San Francisco. Contributions came from a lot of areas.

For the first time in his career, Ezekiel Elliott is out with an injury, making him a surprise inactive this week after optimism he would play.

“Absolutely.” That’s what Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said during a radio interview on whether or not he will get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Dallas LB Jaylon Smith learned Thursday that this weekend’s game against the 49ers had been moved out of prime time slot in favor of a better matchup.

The Cowboys hired Mike McCarthy in January in hopes he could take what they perceived as a talent-laden roster deep into the postseason.

The Dallas Cowboys defense used early turnovers and a defensive touchdown against the Bengals to make amends for its disastrous previous outing.

The Bengals fumbled on each of their first three possessions — the first time an NFL team had done so since Nov. 24, 2013, according to Fox.

Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith says that head coach Mike McCarthy shouldn’t be “having to come to talk to us about effort at the end of the game.”
