When you think of the Dallas Cowboys offensive line, you probably think of power, protection, and pancake blocks. But acting chops? That's a new one.
The Cowboys dropped their 2026 schedule release video on Thursday, and it's a must-watch for any fan of the team—or anyone who appreciates a good laugh. Over the years, schedule release videos have become a beloved NFL tradition, with each team's social media crew trying to outdo the last. This year, Dallas went all-in on a theme that's been brewing in the trenches: a full-on Tyler takeover.
Offensive linemen Tyler Guyton, Tyler Booker, and Tyler Smith starred as the leaders of the "Tyler Intelligence Agency." Their mission? To identify one player named "Tyler" on every opposing team as an "undercover Tyler." The result is a hilarious, self-aware roast of each opponent on the 2026 slate.
The video is packed with playful jabs. Take Week 1, for example. Giants safety Tyler Nubin is revealed as an undercover agent, and his mission is "to torment Malik Nabers via psychological warfare." The intel? A cheeky reference to Nabers' viral reaction to Dallas landing Caleb Downs in the draft: "Caleb Downs is very good. Very good. Very good." Tyler Smith delivers the punchline with a grin: "Caleb Downs is ours, Malik. Fool."
It's the kind of inside-baseball humor that makes NFL schedule release day so fun. And for a team that's built its identity on a dominant line, seeing these big men show off their personalities is a reminder that football—and the fandom behind it—should always have a sense of play.
Whether you're repping your favorite lineman's jersey or just gearing up for the season, this video is a perfect warm-up for what promises to be a thrilling 2026 campaign. After all, in the NFL, it's not just about the games—it's about the stories that get us there.
