The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for a grueling challenge in their 2025 NFL season, with a six-game stretch against teams that each won at least 11 games in 2024. This challenging lineup will test the Cowboys’ mettle as they face some of the league’s best from late November to early January. With new head coach Brian Schottenheimer at the helm, Dallas is bracing for a defining period in their season.
The tough stretch begins on November 23, when the Cowboys host the Philadelphia Eagles, who finished 2024 with an 11-6 record and went on to win the Super Bowl. Five days later, on Thanksgiving, November 27, Dallas welcomes the Kansas City Chiefs, who also posted an 11-6 record last season.
INSIDE THE CHIEFS’ EMPIRE
The challenge continues with a December 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions (15-2 in 2024), followed by a December 14 home game versus the Minnesota Vikings (14-3). On December 21, the Cowboys host the Los Angeles Chargers (11-6), before wrapping up the stretch on Christmas Day, December 25, against the Washington Commanders, who also notched 11 wins in 2024.
This six-game run is a historic challenge for the Cowboys, who are already making headlines as the first NFL team to play four Thursday games in a single season.

Six consecutive battles vs. 2024’s best teams
The Cowboys’ strength of schedule ranks among the league’s toughest, tied for fifth-hardest with opponents holding a .557 winning percentage in 2024. Fans on X are buzzing about the daunting lineup, with one user posting, “Six straight games against 11-win teams? Cowboys are in for a wild ride!”
The stretch includes four teams-the Eagles, Lions, Vikings, and Commanders-that reached the playoffs in 2024, with the Eagles and Commanders facing off in the NFC Championship. The Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, bring their own pedigree, while the Chargers aim to build on their wild-card appearance.
For Schottenheimer, managing this period will be crucial, especially with three of the Cowboys’ Thursday games falling within this period, testing the team’s endurance. As Dallas prepares to face this murderer’s row of opponents, the spotlight will be on stars like Dak Prescott, who is 9-4 against the Eagles lifetime, and new addition George Pickens, as they aim to prove the Cowboys can hang with the NFL’s elite.
