The Dallas Cowboys' 2025 season will be historic because they are doing something that the NFL has never seen before.

The NFL certainly still views the Dallas Cowboys as "America's Team." They gave the Cowboys eight standalone games for the upcoming 2025 season. That's tied for the most in the league in 2025 with the three-time defending AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs and the 2024 NFC runner-up Washington Commanders for the most in the upcoming season.

And so, as the NFL schedule is freshly released ... Dallas is "must-see" TV in 2025. Right? Wrong, to some. First, to the schedule as best we can put it together ...

The season opener is on a Thursday night in the city that hates the Cowboys. The Eagles will get their Super Bowl rings, have their fans ready to fight and look to defend the title. Right guard Tyler Booker gets to face Jalen Carter, and coach Brian Schottenheimer debuts as the man in charge.

The Dallas Cowboys defense was besieged by injuries to key contributors last season, and getting those players back, healthy, and on the field is a big reason for optimism that the franchise could push for a return to the postseason this fall.

The Commanders have a different presence entering 2025 after an appearance in the NFC Championship Game in 2024. It will be Dante Fowler’s first opportunity to play against the team he played for in 2024, and it will be Dallas’ chance at getting a jump in the division standings in the middle of the season.

The Dallas Cowboys will host the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day at AT&T Stadium, the NFL announced Wednesday.
