The Dallas Cowboys suffered a disappointing setback on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 14 of the NFL season, so the team enjoyed Sunday's full slate of games from home.

Following Dallas' loss to the Detroit Lions, the team's playoff hopes are on life support, and they will need a lot of help along the way.

One of the first bits of help the Cowboys can get is on Monday Night Football to wrap up the week, with the Los Angeles Chargers hosting the Philadelphia Eagles. If the Eagles pull off the win, the Cowboys' postseason hopes take a brutal blow, while a Chargers win leaves the backdoor open in the NFC East.

If the Chargers don't give Dallas the assist, it will likely be time to look ahead to the 2026 NFL Draft, where the Cowboys hold two first-round picks.

The Cowboys will have an opportunity to reload the roster on the defensive side of the ball, where the team's biggest weaknesses remain.

Entering Monday Night Football, Dallas currently sits with the No. 15 overall and No. 28 overall picks, while the division rival New York Giants took over control of the No. 1 overall pick.
