The heat on Matt Eberflus is officially turned all the way up after Sunday night’s 34-26 loss to the Vikings, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones didn’t even try to hide it.

With three games left and the Cowboys finally “healthy,” Jones went on 105.3 The Fan and basically put the defense on notice, calling out a season-long trend where Dallas keeps turning opposing quarterbacks into weekly comeback stories.

J.J. McCarthy was the latest to cash in, posting a season- and career-high 250 yards and two TDs while the Cowboys generated just six pressures and zero sacks — against a Minnesota front that had already allowed 47 sacks.

And that’s the part that should scare Cowboys fans: McCarthy joins Russell Wilson, Justin Fields and Caleb Williams as quarterbacks who hit their season-high passing yardage against Dallas.

The numbers are ugly across the board, but Jones insists it’s not a talent issue, it’s on the coaches to fit the scheme to the players, even as the Micah Parsons trade continues to hang over everything.

The Quinnen Williams bump briefly revived the season, but the defense has looked like the old version again at the worst possible time, leaving Dallas with basically no margin and a long list of offseason questions.

However these last three games go, the message is clear: fixing this defense is priority No. 1 heading into 2026.

Cooper Flagg’s heater didn’t cool off, not even with the Mavs playing just one game — as he stuffed the box score and turned Dallas’ win over Brooklyn into a one-man highlight reel.

Anthony Davis did what Anthony Davis does (24 and 14 with three steals + three blocks) while the role guys popped: Max Christie was the bench spark, and Klay Thompson delivered the “how did he even see that?” lob to P.J. Washington.

And if you blinked, Dwight Powell snuck in for the sneaky slam, because apparently everybody ate in this one.

The Stars’ blue-line depth just got thinner in a hurry, as Vladislav Kolyachonok was claimed off waivers, ripping away a young defender Dallas had been trying to stabilize into the mix.

After arriving in the Matt Dumba deal and logging 11 games (three points) in a limited role, Kolyachonok’s exit forces the Stars to reshuffle depth plans — and that ripple effect matters more than it sounds in December.

On yesterday’s show, we broke down what his loss means, then spin around the league with the massive Quinn Hughes trade and the goalie swap featuring Tristan Jarry and Stuart Skinner,

Tom Grieve has been in the Rangers’ orbit since 1970, back when the franchise was still in Washington, and he’s seen every era up close as a player, executive, and broadcaster.

In this special holiday episode, Grieve joins the show to relive the early days, pull back the curtain on how the organization has changed over five-plus decades, and share the kind of stories only a true franchise constant can tell.

If you’re a Rangers fan who loves history, insight, and a few “wait… no way” memories, you’re not going to want to miss this one.

This is just disappointing.
