With the November 10 trade deadline looming, Colts head coach Shane Steichen refuses to comment on swirling rumors that could see running back Jonathan Taylor, wideout Josh Downs, or other veterans moved after the team already dealt Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner. Following a 27-23 Week 9 loss to Dallas that left Indianapolis 2‑7, the franchise—now under new leadership after firing GM Chris Ballard—may still make a deal before the 4 p.m. EST deadline on Tuesday.
After a 27–23 win over the Colts, the Dallas Cowboys sit at 4‑5 and remain in the NFC East chase behind the Giants. Quarterback Dak Prescott says the roster already has what it needs to reach the playoffs, but urges Jerry Jones to consider any trade‑deadline additions. He praises the front office’s “hell of a job” while emphasizing that on‑field execution now determines their fate. The Cowboys must sweep the remaining division games against the Giants, Eagles and Commanders to clinch the NFC East, or win five to six of their final eight to secure a wild‑card spot.
Dallas Cowboys wideout George Pickens, who has 39 catches for 533 yards and two TDs in eight games, is being floated as a trade chip before the deadline. Former fullback‑turned‑analyst Michael Robinson suggests the Kansas City Chiefs could benefit from Pickens’ 13.7 yards per catch, easing pressure on Travis Kelce and opening lanes for Kenneth Walker III. Pickens is on a $27.3 million franchise tag, and while a deal could net the Cowboys valuable draft picks, team leaders and owner Jerry Jones say they prefer to keep him for the playoff push.
After a crushing loss to Arizona, the Dallas Cowboys rebound with a 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts, keeping playoff hopes alive at 3-5.
