The Dallas Cowboys will take the field for their final game of the 2025-26 NFL campaign on Sunday afternoon, facing the division rival New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in Week 18.

After Sunday's game, the Cowboys can then turn their attention to the offseason and the upcoming 2026 NFL draft. This year, with two first-round picks, there is a lot for Cowboys Nation to be excited about.

Entering the weekend, the Cowboys are clinging on to a top-15 selection with their first pick, while the pick that originally belonged to the Green Bay Packers is knocking on the door of the top 20.
