"The Dallas Cowboys did not have the season that anyone expected, and they missed the playoffs despite having a relatively healthy roster. It is the first season since QB Dak Prescott was drafted that ended in a losing record without the quarterback suffering an injury that caused him to miss games. No, Prescott was fully healthy, and except for a four-week span where WR CeeDee Lamb was out with a high ankle sprain, the offense remained intact throughout the season."
"The offense wasn't the problem, and it is fairly evident just by looking at stats. In the first (and only) season under DC Matt Eberflus, the Cowboys gave up more points (511) than any other regular season in franchise history. A response was needed, and it came in the form of a firing for Eberflus, and a thorough and extensive search for his replacement."
The Dallas Cowboys missed the playoffs despite a relatively healthy roster and a fully healthy Dak Prescott. CeeDee Lamb missed four weeks with a high ankle sprain, but the offense remained largely intact. George Pickens and a revamped rushing attack helped sustain the offense. Offensive performance was solid based on statistical measures. The defense allowed 511 points, the most in franchise regular-season history, under Matt Eberflus. Eberflus was fired and the organization conducted a thorough search for a replacement. The Cowboys departed from a decade-long pattern by hiring 34-year-old Christian Parker, a student and teacher of the game.
