Two weeks ago, before the wins over the Eagles and Chiefs, this would have been the focal point of the rest of the season.
Even though the playoffs are now in sight, Pro Bowl voting is now open and, yes, other Cowboys will make it, but All-Pro KaVontae Turpin is currently leading the entire league in voting.
TURPIN AT IT AGAIN
Fan voting began on Thanksgiving Day and will continue until December 15th.
The new thing they are doing this year is the Pro Bowl games will be held as part of the Super Bowl Week in San Francisco rather than either before or after by itself.
A total of 12 Cowboys players have landed in the top 10, but KaVontae Turpin leads the entire NFL in voting as of today.
In his fourth season as a pro, he is a 2-time Pro Bowler and earned NFL All-Pro honors in 2024.
Remember, Dallas was able to scoop Turpin up after he won the USFL MVP in 2022 when he played for the New Jersey Generals. He led the league that year in receiving yards and scored the only kick return touchdown.
He may lead the entire league in voting for his return skills, but he has made the biggest play of the season thus far, diving on that fumble late in the win over the Chiefs when George Pickens let it go, something he never does.
If Turpin does not make maybe the biggest play of the season thus far, who knows if the Cowboys end up winning that game against the Chiefs.
This is subject to change even by the time this story goes out, but a few other special teams players are right on their heels, and of course, guys like Drake Maye seem to have most of the votes after last night’s game.
Other Cowboys on the list include Dak Prescott, Javonte Williams, Goerge Pickens and Jake Ferguson.

At the end of the day, Turpin is going to need to keep doing what he is doing starting on Thursday Night Football against the Lions if he wants to help the Cowboys stay in the playoff race, but it is time to stop using him as a running back and just figure out other ways to get him the ball in space.
The season is on the line on Thursday, but nobody even expected them to win the last two games. Let’s see if they can keep it going.
