GS. DALLAS, I’M COMING HOME! The Explosive Details of the Star’s Plea to Rejoin the Cowboys That Changes EVERYTHING.
The Dallas Cowboys have not been a serious team for most of the season, but they are absolutely for real after they took down the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving.
Losing ground in the AFC West, the Chiefs had their backs against the wall, so Dallas got their best effort. Patrick Mahomes made some otherworldly plays to stay within striking distance, but Dak Prescott was better. The Cowboys’ defense was better, and Brian Schottenheimer called a better game than Andy Reid.
It seems that the league-wide perception about Dallas has changed. Old friend Stephon Gilmore led that charge after the win by making a loud statement about his former team. It sure sounds like he’d be open to a potential reunion if Jerry Jones were to ever pull that lever.

Former Cowboys CB Stephon Gilmore thinks Dallas can win the Super Bowl
Someone get that man a Cowboys uniform!
Gilmore, who had an exceptional lone season with the Cowboys in 2023, actually took a visit with Dallas at The Star over the summer. It turned fans into a frenzy as a signing appeared imminent, but he left without a deal, and he remains without a home as we hit the home stretch of November.
Unfortunately, it’s a long shot that the Cowboys sign Gilmore. They seem content with their cornerback room, which has performed well since rookie Shavon Revel returned from injury. Not only that, but Trevon Diggs (remember him?) is eligible to come off injured reserve. It seems that Diggs has a chance to return next week against the Detroit Lions.
It’s worth noting that DaRon Bland left Thursday’s game briefly with a foot injury. He returned and seemingly didn’t have any limitations. But it would probably take a major injury for Dallas to pull the Gilmore lever.
Having said that, Gilmore’s blistering take echoes what CBS color analyst Tony Romo said about the Cowboys after the win. While Romo didn’t go as far as to mention Super Bowl, let alone winning it, he believes Dallas has a strong chance to run the table and get into the playoffs.
Let’s make one thing clear: A team that is on the periphery of the NFC playoff field should not be thinking about winning the Super Bowl. However, the Cowboys are definitely gaining popularity among former players and the mainstream media. And if there’s any substance to Gilmore’s post, it’s that the NFC’s No. 2-4 seeds will be praying that Dallas doesn’t get a wild card spot.
The Cowboys simply have that kind of aura right now. Their offense can put up 30 points on anyone, and the defense held its own against Patrick Mahomes four days after it didn’t allow the Eagles to score a single point in the final three quarters.
America’s Team is for real, folks.
That feels great to say out loud.
