Jerry Jones is still holding out hope for the Dallas Cowboys' season, but let's be real: with a 3-7 record heading into Week 12, they're mostly playing for a better draft position. Currently, they sit at No. 9 overall for the 2025 NFL Draft, which isn't what fans were dreaming of at the start of the season.
This week, the Cowboys have a road game against Dan Quinn and the 7-4 Washington Commanders. While it would be sweet to hand Quinn a third consecutive loss, many Cowboys fans might find themselves torn. Some might even be rooting for their former defensive coordinator, hoping he can extend Dallas' losing streak. As one fan put it, "I'd love to see us win, but part of me wants Quinn to succeed!"
On the field, there will be plenty of familiar faces. Key players like Dorance Armstrong, Dante Fowler, and Tyler Biadasz are all making significant contributions for Quinn. Even former cornerback Noah Igbinoghene, who barely saw the field last year, has logged an impressive 469 defensive snaps in Washington's system. It's a testament to how Quinn has reshaped the defense.
Quinn returns to face Cowboys
Adding to the drama, Quinn is reportedly taking a look at another former Cowboy, defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko, who recently worked out with the Commanders. It's hard not to think Quinn might be pulling our leg here and giving the Cowboys a surprise.
Fehoko was part of a Cowboys draft class that many fans would rather forget. Selected in the fourth round, he didn't play a single snap during his rookie year due to an injury he sustained in training camp. After landing on injured reserve, he was waived with an injury designation in September after the team and he couldn't reach an injury settlement.
The Commanders' interest in Fehoko is surprising, especially since it was Quinn who chose not to play him last season. "It's baffling," said one fan. "Why would he want someone he didn't even play?" Given Quinn's influence on the Cowboys' defensive draft picks, it's clear he ed selecting Fehoko in the fourth round. Now, after all this time, he's suddenly interested in bringing him back? It's definitely puzzling.
To top it off, Washington will be without star defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, who has been sidelined since mid-October. As another fan noted, "This game just got a whole lot more interesting!"
