"If I'm the Dallas Cowboys, if I'm Dak Prescott, I'm licking my chops right now. This division is mine." @DangeRussWils Via @NFLonCBS on X

What happened: During Sunday's NFL on CBS coverage, the NFC East race was framed as wide open for 11th-year quarterback Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas fell 23-13 on the road on Oct. 18 to extend its losing streak to two games, yet the division remains within reach.

Why it matters: Not a single NFC East club has recorded a victory over the past 20 days, giving the Cowboys' front office reason to pursue roster upgrades rather than a sell-off. Dallas has already added veteran voices to its defensive coaching staff while exploring the trade market for pass-rush help.

By the numbers: Dallas holds a 2-4 record and occupies the No. 12 seed in the 2026 NFC standings. Per ESPN (as of Sept. 29, 2026), Prescott—selected 135th overall in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of Mississippi State—completed 404 of 600 passes for 4,552 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions across 17 games in 2025.

What to watch: The Cowboys return home next Sunday looking to snap their October skid and climb back into divisional contention.
