"The 2025 Dallas Cowboys season is officially in the books, as a 34-17 loss against the New York Giants capped off a 7-8-1 record for the team. This one featured both familiar issues for Dallas and brought some hope for 2026. We saw fresh faces get chances they normally wouldn't, while also seeing some players who absolutely should not be brought back next season."
"Dallas had been eliminated from playoff contention far before this game kicked off, but the record concluding under .500 is awfully fitting. It's the first time in Dak Prescott's career that he played the entire season and finished with a losing record. Additionally, this very likely marked the end of a very poor one-year tenure for Defensive Coordinator Matt Eberflus with the Cowboys. All reports indicate he is likely to be fired, which will spark the search for yet another defensive leader on the sidelines."
"Thomas offside - After the Cowboys missed a fourth-down attempt inside the 3-yard line, the thought process was to try and pin the Giants back, call timeouts and get the ball back in good field position. But on first down for the Giants, Solomon Thomas was called offside before the snap. That gave the Giants enough breathing room and, more importantly, a first-and-5. The Giants were able to keep the ball and drive for a touchdown."
The Dallas Cowboys finished 2025 with a 7-8-1 record after a 34-17 loss to the New York Giants. The loss highlighted recurring team issues alongside some optimism for 2026 as younger players received expanded opportunities. Dak Prescott completed a full season for the first time in his career with a losing record. Defensive Coordinator Matt Eberflus is widely expected to be fired after a problematic one-year tenure, prompting a search for a new defensive leader. Critical mistakes in the finale included Solomon Thomas being called offside and Kenneth Murray's late out-of-bounds hit, which extended a Giants drive.
