The Cowboys face the Colts today at 1:00 p.m. ET, aiming to break their streak of 15 consecutive games allowing 20 or more points. The Colts, recently in a rebuilding phase following trades including guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, have scored just 17 points in their last two games. This matchup represents a critical opportunity for Dallas to improve their defensive performance, having last held an opponent under 20 points on November 17, 2025, against the Raiders. The Cowboys will look to capitalize on the Colts' current struggles to secure a more favorable defensive outcome.
