Chippeuwas took on the Cowboys in a regular-season NFL fixture on September 19th, 2026, and came away with a 24-10 victory. The hosts built on their narrow win over the Raiders the previous week, though they'll need to address the defensive frailties that cost them against the Lobos.
By then, the Cowboys had just picked up a 21-13 win against the Bears, but that form didn't translate here. They'd dropped 13-35 to the Rams the week before and couldn't find a way through on this occasion either.
And here's the thing — the scoreline tells only part of the story. The Chippeuwas defense stood firm when it mattered, shutting down what little momentum the visitors had built. The Cowboys' offence looked disjointed, lacking the cohesion they showed against Chicago.
To be fair, both sides carried different burdens into this match. The hosts were looking to consolidate after mixed results, while the visitors needed a response after that heavy defeat. What they got instead was a lesson in consistency.
By then, the Chippeuwas had shown they could string together two competitive performances, even if the away display against the Lobos still haunted them. The Cowboys, meanwhile, found themselves in the same pattern — capable of moments, but unable to sustain them over a full game.
