Scheduling the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving and Christmas is just gonna absolutely destroy family time during the holidays in Texas.
The Cowboys have a 4 week stretch of:
Wk12- vEagles
Wk13-vChiefs
Wk14-aLions
Wk15-vVikings
Sheesh
The Cowboys are the first team in NFL History to have 4 Thursday Night Football games on their schedule, they also have the second most primetime games(6) behind the Chiefs(7) pic.twitter.com/Y70XAxaWOY
Quick glance at Cowboys schedule: They’d better do work early in the season. That post bye week schedule is brutal. Eagles and Chiefs four days apart? Yikes

Can the Dallas Cowboys make the playoffs with this schedule
Let’s hear YOUR take! https://t.co/lSwOz2UzxW
Cowboys schedule is so sweet lmao week 13-17 is their hardest stretch https://t.co/Mw4Lg0ABYj
Cowboys got hit with that 3 games in 11 days at the end of their schedule
the Cowboys play the NFL’s #2 toughest schedule from Week 12 onward:
in consecutive weeks, they play these teams (2024 W-L):
► 14-3 Eagles (Super Bowl Champ)
► 15-2 Chiefs (Super Bowl runner-up)
► 15-2 Lions
► 14-3 Vikings
► 12-5 Commanders
► 11-6 Chargers pic.twitter.com/06aMRNzcIX
I’ve joked for years that the NFL schedule maker is either a Cowboys or Eagles fan.
I’m convinced of it.
This schedule is not doing any favors to the Cowboys. 3 games again in 12 days against Eagles, Chiefs, Lions… our 3 toughest opponents. And then twice they will have to play on 4 days prep… not great
Dallas Cowboys schedule initial thoughts and breakdown:
-Love starting the season against the Eagles. Should be a fun divisional matchup that helps revitalize a longstanding rivalry. Only sucks that they hang the banner that game
-Weeks 12-17 are brutal but at the same time… https://t.co/EabAc90JXa
