Even though it’s been decades since the Dallas Cowboys won a Super Bowl or even an NFC title, they have at least had a few decent regular seasons in the recent pastwith their last three consecutive years ending with records of 12-5.

Being “America’s Team” – the richest, most watched and most popular team – the The Cowboys have been winning prime-time TV spots for years. They have a Thanksgiving game every year. Although they aren’t very good, they tend to attract a large audience simply because they are the Cowboys.

But this season, things look a little different. The Kansas City Chiefs, two-time defending Super Bowl champions (and undefeated), have become the most watched team in the NFL. And the The Cowboys are on pace for their worst season since 2015, when they finished 4-12.

are 3-6, have lost four straight games, their last being a 34-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, they are missing their starting quarterback Dak Prescott, not to mention several other key players, and they should go 3-8 by the time we get to Thanksgiving. With a defense that can’t stop the run, an offense that can’t pass the ball and barely sees the end zone, and a coach that has one foot out the door, the Cowboys just aren’t that fun to watch . SO rumors began to circulate that the Cowboys might lose their prime time spots in the final weeks of the season.

Will the NFL really “flex” the Cowboys outside of prime time?

Let’s take a look at Upcoming Cowboys Schedule.

That’s a lot of games Dallas is offering with prime time slots and no competition. In reality, at least three of these games won’t change. It’s too late to change this week’s game against the Texans. Thanksgiving is a tradition and it would be difficult to change it, even for seasons to come. And Monday night’s game against the Bengals will also feature a animated universe of the Simpsons and it’s unlikely to change at this point either. (Plus, the Bengals might actually be contenders.)

However, the Sunday Night Football game against the Bucs on December 22 and the national “America’s Game of the Week” game against the Eagles on Sunday, December 29 could potentially be risk of changing thanks to the NFL Flexible Scheduling Rules which allows teams to “work their way into prime time.” In the Cowboys’ case, they can potentially get away with it. The SNF game against the Bucs and the Week 17 game against the Eagles can both be moved up six days. ‘ notice.

While the Cowboys have bragging rights as prime-time spot holders for more than 30 years, they are not safe from being moved. And there’s nothing about the team that says it deserves a prime-time spot at the moment, so yeah…it’s very possible the NFL will. In fact do that.

It’s marketing powerhouse Jerry Jones’ worst nightmare. Worse than his team having a losing season, or his $60 million star being out for the season, or his stadium design causing his own players to miss touchdown passes – worse than all of that, Jones’ nightmare is that no one cares enough about his team to watch them.and the NFL decides to relegate them to the 1 p.m. slot with the rest of the league’s peasants.
