"First year head coach Brian Schottenheimer did manage to invigorate the Cowboys' offense in 2025. Dak Prescott had perhaps his best season yet. Dallas had a pair of thousand-yard receivers in CeeDee Lamb and a 1,000-yard rusher in Javonte Williams. The Cowboys scored 471 points for the season, the fourth highest in the team's 66 seasons in the NFL. The offense wasn't the issue."
"Eberflus' defense was just atrocious. There simply isn't any other way to put it. In nearly every category, the Cowboys' defense was dead last or pretty close to it. They gave up the most points and the third-most total yards in 2025. Dallas was tied for 22 nd in sacks with 35. Jadeveon Clowney accounted for 25% of those sacks with 8.5. The Cowboys were tied for 29 th with just six interceptions. They only recovered six fumbles and left Dallas with a minus-9 turnover ratio."
Dallas finished 2025 with a 7-9-1 record after an offense that scorched opponents and a defense that collapsed. First-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer revitalized the offense, and Dak Prescott had perhaps his best season. CeeDee Lamb exceeded 1,000 receiving yards and Javonte Williams topped 1,000 rushing yards. The offense scored 471 points, the fourth-highest total in franchise history. The defense surrendered a franchise-record 511 points and ranked near the bottom in nearly every category. Dallas allowed the third-most total yards, tied for 22nd with just 35 sacks, recorded six interceptions and a minus-9 turnover ratio. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus was fired.
