Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 season ended in disappointment, finishing 7-9-1 in a crowded NFC East and missing the playoffs after a brutal late-season collapse. A 1-4 stretch to close the year, highlighted by losses to Detroit (30-44), Minnesota (26-34), and the Giants (17-34), exposed defensive vulnerabilities that plagued the entire campaign: Dallas allowed 30.1 points per game while scoring just 27.7, a -40 point differential that tells the story of a team unable to execute when it mattered most. The sole win in that final stretch came against Washington on Christmas, but it proved too little too late. With the offseason now in full swing, the front office faces hard questions about roster construction and whether the current core can compete in a division that has moved past them. Bettors and analysts alike will be watching how management addresses the secondary and pass rush in the draft and free agency, as incremental improvement won’t cut it in 2026.
