"So let me rephrase: Offense is the name of the game in the NFL as long as you have a somewhat competent defense. Dallas led the league in most offensive stats, but unfortunately, were near the bottom of the league in nearly every defensive stat. It was a defensive failure of epic proportions, but it did not stop the Cowboys from putting together one of the most prolific offensive performances in the NFL."
"Fans were ecstatic last offseason when Cowboys' President and General Manager, Jerry Jones, shipped off a third round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for disgruntled WR George Pickens. The trade ended up being worth the risk, as Pickens not only led the Cowboys in receptions (93), yards (1,429), and touchdowns (9), but finished near the top in the entire league."
"Pairing Pickens' play-making ability with Lamb's smooth route-running created a dream scenario for QB Dak Prescott and the offense. Combined with a strong running game, Lamb also finished with over 1,000 yards receiving for the fifth consecutive season, ending the year with a 75/1,077/3 stat line. Lamb caught over 100 yards in a game six times this season, while Pickens did it in five games."
Dallas produced one of the NFL's most dynamic offenses in 2025 while finishing near the bottom of the league in nearly every defensive category. The imbalance led to a defensive failure that kept the team out of the playoffs despite leading the league in many offensive statistics. Wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens each surpassed 1,000 receiving yards, forming the 'Terror Twins' tandem. Pickens was acquired for a third-round pick and led the team with 93 receptions, 1,429 yards, and nine touchdowns. Lamb posted his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season with a 75/1,077/3 stat line. The duo complemented each other, often alternating big games.
