"The season has been over for a while now. The Dallas Cowboys are not a Micah Parsons away from being a good defense. The Dallas Cowboys are allowing opponents to score on 49.5 percent of their drives. That's tied with the Cincinnati Bengals for the worst in the league. The reality of the roster just ain't there,"

Dallas acquired linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals and All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets before the trade deadline, completing both deals without surrendering either 2026 first-round pick. Former Cowboys defensive end Chris Canty expressed skepticism, stating the season has been over for a while and that the roster lacks necessary pieces. The Cowboys are allowing opponents to score on 49.5 percent of drives and are surrendering 30.8 points per game, second-worst in the NFL. The team has allowed 30 or more points through nine games only in 1960 and 2020. The shift to a zone-heavy scheme under coordinator Matt Eberflus has reduced the man-coverage rate from 33.8 percent (2021–2023) to 13 percent this season.
