Cowboys vs. Commanders preview

The Commanders' season has not gone according to plan, but they can try to salvage the season by ending it strongly against the Cowboys and then the Eagles in the final week of the 2025 season.

Washington enters this one battered with injuries, including to backup QB Marcus Mariota. The Commanders signed veteran Jeff Driskel leading up to the game, but will likely roll with Josh Johnson.

Johnson will have plenty of weapons at his disposal and will look to exploit a weak Cowboys’ defense while leaning on their staple of running backs.

The Commanders’ defense hasn’t been much better than the Cowboys and will likely struggle against Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Javonte Williams in what is sure to be a high-scoring matchup.

Washington will look to get revenge from their Week 7 game against Dallas where they lost 44-22 in Jerry’s World.
