👋 Good morning! - The second half of the Dallas Cowboys season starts tonight as they take on the Raiders in Las Vegas. Dallas is hoping its defensive reinforcements can stack some winning hands of their own. Time to find out if the Cowboys can cash in on the Strip.- Ali Jawad

The Cowboys return from their bye week and walk straight into the flashing lights of Las Vegas, where a must-win Monday night showdown awaits.

At 3-5-1, Dallas’ playoff hopes are hanging by a thread, and dropping one to a struggling 2-7 Raiders team could snap that thread entirely.

It’s the Cowboys’ first-ever regular-season trip to Vegas, and the Raiders roll in on a three-game skid, scoring just seven points in last week’s loss to Denver. Dallas hasn’t won since Week 8, and the pressure to cash in is reaching slot-machine tilt levels.

But the Cowboys aren’t arriving empty-handed, they’re debuting a completely reloaded defense for a hopeful second-half push.

DeMarvion Overshown and Shavon Revel make their long-awaited returns from injury, while trade-deadline prizes Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson suit up together for the first time.

It’s a new-look unit built for chaos, speed and playmaking, and Dallas is banking on this defensive overhaul to spark a late-season turnaround.

In Sin City, it’s time to find out whether the Cowboys walk away winners… or leave the Strip empty-handed.

Dallas finally showed some offensive pulse, but a tidal wave of turnovers wiped out their shot at a statement win.

D’Angelo Russell’s late-game heroics kept Dallas alive, only for James Harden’s 41-point triple-double to slam the door in double OT.

Now 0-2 in NBA Cup play and losers of seven of their last eight, the Mavs are running out of answers, and time.

Jason Robertson went full cheat code, ripping off a natural hat trick to bury the Flyers and power the Stars to a 5–1 win.

Dallas has now ripped off five straight and snagged points in 12 of its last 13, looking every bit like an early-season powerhouse.

With the second-best record in the NHL, the Stars are cooking, and Robertson’s heating up right on cue.
