Dallas Cowboys rise from ridicule to NFC East contenders with remarkable three-game win streak
The Dallas Cowboys have undergone a remarkable transformation, wrapping up November with a stunning three-game winning streak that included victories over both teams that competed in last season’s Super Bowl. This surge has propelled the Cowboys from the depths of ridicule to the forefront of NFC East contention as they head into December.
The Secret to Success
Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer addressed the media on Friday, shedding light on the factors that have fueled this resurgence since the team’s bye week. According to Schottenheimer, the key ingredient behind the Cowboys’ November revival is simple yet powerful: consistency.
“The consistency is what you’re noticing,” Schottenheimer explained. “When you look back and try to figure out why that is, it’s a little bit like we just stayed to the process. We trusted the process, and we’ve continued to coach to the details and try to improve communication on defense, work on pass protection, and focus on fundamentals. That’s the biggest thing I would say; we’ve always had confidence. We’re never going to lack for confidence.”
Climbing the NFC East Ladder
The timing of Dallas’ winning streak is critical, especially as the Philadelphia Eagles faltered once again, losing to the Chicago Bears. This slip has narrowed the gap in the NFC East, with the Cowboys now just 1.5 games behind the division leaders. As the postseason looms, every win becomes even more crucial.
In Week 14, the Cowboys will look to maintain their momentum when they face the Detroit Lions in a high-stakes primetime matchup.
