In a commanding performance, the Jacksonville Jaguars topped the Dallas Cowboys 26-7 in Week 16 of the 2026 season. This victory solidifies Jacksonville's position as a playoff contender, while the Cowboys face mounting pressure as they struggle to find their rhythm late in the season. The Jaguars' offense was led by Bhayshul Tuten, who rushed for 66 yards, providing a solid ground game that complemented their passing attack. Quarterback performance was highlighted by Dak Prescott of the Cowboys, who threw for 290 yards and a touchdown, but was unable to spark a comeback in the face of relentless pressure. George Pickens stood out in the receiving corps with 114 yards, showcasing his big-play ability, yet it wasn't enough to shift the momentum. Defensively, the Jaguars were a force, with Josh Hines-Allen recording 1.5 sacks that disrupted the Cowboys' offensive flow. The turning point came in the second quarter when the Jaguars' defense stifled a key Dallas drive, leading to a turnover on down that shifted the game's momentum decisively. Jalen Thompson led the Cowboys with six total tackles, but ultimately, they could not contain Jacksonville’s balanced attack, sealing their fate in this crucial matchup.
