"By the time the dust settled on a 7-9-1 season, the numbers told a horror story. Dallas ranked 32nd in scoring defense, allowing over 30 points a game for the first time since their inaugural season in 1960, when they went 0-11-1. The secondary was a particular disaster, surrendering a staggering 35 touchdown passes, which ranked next-to-last in the league."
"At just 34 years old, Parker is a rising star who recently led an Eagles secondary that ranked first in passing touchdowns allowed in 2025, giving up only 14 all season. His most impressive accomplishment came in 2024 with Philadelphia, where his unit ranked first in passing yards allowed, finished as a top-two scoring defense, and helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl."
The Cowboys' 2025 defense performed abysmally, finishing 7-9-1 and ranking 32nd in scoring defense while allowing over 30 points per game for the first time since 1960. The secondary surrendered 35 touchdown passes, ranking next-to-last. Ownership and management executed a full coaching staff remodel, hiring Christian Parker as defensive coordinator and adding Scott Symons and Derrick Ansley to the staff. Parker, 34, previously led an Eagles secondary that allowed only 14 passing touchdowns in 2025 and led top units in 2024, ranking first in passing yards allowed and helping win the Super Bowl. Parker brings a Vic Fangio-influenced pattern-match scheme to reduce explosive plays.
