Overview
- On Nov. 4, Dallas acquired DT Quinnen Williams from the Jets for a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick and Mazi Smith, and added LB Logan Wilson from the Bengals for a 2026 seventh-round pick.
- After a Week 10 bye, the Cowboys beat the Raiders and rallied past the Eagles 24-21 to reach 5-5-1 and re-enter the NFC playoff race.
- According to NFLPlus data cited by Ian Rapoport, points allowed fell from 30.8 to 18.5 per game and rushing yards allowed dropped from 143 to 45 per game, with 100 rushing yards yielded across those two wins.
- Owner Jerry Jones lauded Williams’ impact on run defense, saying Dallas “had to have” his level of run-stopping without losing pass rush.
- Williams downplayed sole credit and pointed to Logan Wilson’s addition and the returns of DeMarvion Overshown, Shavon Revel Jr., Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker, with a Thanksgiving meeting against the Chiefs set to test the gains.
