The Dallas Cowboys couldn’t finish strong

The Dallas Cowboys were looking to finish at .500 after a tough season, but were unable to beat the New York Giants on the road as they lost 34-17 on Sunday. While the Cowboys fell to 7-9-1 with the loss, they also took Dak Prescott out of the game in the first half, so it’s possible the Cowboys were protecting their draft position. In addition to focusing on the draft, the Cowboys have some big decisions to make with their own free agents.

Dak Prescott had a great season

While it was largely wasted on a 7-9-1 team, the Cowboys’ offense had a great season. Dak Prescott threw for 4,552 passing yards and 30 touchdowns, Javonte Williams surpassed 1,200 rushing yards, and both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens racked up more than 1,000 receiving yards. While their defense didn’t fare quite as well, the Cowboys’ offense had a fantastic 2025 season.
