Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram returns to The Dead Jeff Show!

After the Cowboys' big road win over Houston, Nick joins Jeff and Nick for an in-depth look at where Dallas really stands four games into the 2026 season.

We start with the feeling inside the Cowboys locker room following a win that Nick describes as a major morale boost, especially after Dallas failed to finish a similar opportunity against Baltimore in Brazil.

From there, we get into everything Cowboys:

Dak Prescott is putting together another impressive start, but can anything he does during the regular season change his reputation without a deep playoff run?

CeeDee Lamb delivered one of the biggest performances of his career against Houston while defenses continue devoting extra attention to George Pickens. Nick explains why the combination of CeeDee and Pickens could make this Dallas passing attack incredibly difficult to defend.

On the other side of the ball, the conversation gets much more complicated. Nick believes the Cowboys defense is behind where he expected it to be, particularly when it comes to generating sacks and pressure. We discuss Christian Parker, the young pass rushers, injuries throughout the secondary, Joey Porter Jr.'s arrival and whether this defense can improve quickly enough to complement what Dallas has on offense.

We also discuss the Cowboys' remaining draft capital, whether Dallas should consider another blockbuster move, and how aggressive this front office should be if the Cowboys emerge as legitimate contenders.

Then after Nick Harris signs off, we keep going with Nick's Picks, our NFL Top 5 and Bottom 5, and a preview of Cowboys vs. Buccaneers.

Huge thanks to Nick Harris and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for joining us again.

The Cowboys are 1-1 after a 37-20 win over Washington, and we're going back to the film to figure out what Dallas should feel good about — and what should have Cowboys fans concerned.

Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb got the offense rolling, young defenders showed signs of improvement, and Dallas walked away with the win. But the Cowboys are still struggling to run the football and, more importantly, stop the run.

That's not exactly ideal with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry up next.

Jeff and Nick preview Cowboys vs. Ravens in Brazil and break down the matchup, what Dallas must do defensively, whether the Cowboys can contain Lamar's legs, and why the offense may have to put up 30+ to win.

We also go around the NFC East, look at how injuries are changing the division, bring back Nick's Picks, and reveal our early-season NFL Top 5 and Bottom 5.

It's a football-heavy episode of The Dead Jeff Show as the Cowboys prepare for their biggest test of the young season.

The Dallas Cowboys are 0–1, and Cowboys Nation is already in midseason form.

Jeff and Nick react to Dallas' Week 1 loss to the New York Giants and try to separate the legitimate concerns from the Week 1 overreactions.

What actually went wrong? What did we learn about the offense and defense? Which performances should concern Cowboys fans moving forward? What are we making too much of after only one game? And after all the offseason hope and hype, are we already experiencing Cowboys déjà vu?

Here we go… again? Or is everyone overreacting?

We break down the loss, Dak Prescott, the offense, the defense, coaching decisions, the biggest disappointments and any positives we can take into Week 2.

One game down. Sixteen to go. Let's see how worried Cowboys fans really need to be.
