The Dallas Cowboys in 2025 turned out to be quite a talented team, but only on one side of the field. The offense ranked among the best in the NFL. However, the team scored as many points as it gave up.
Pick any defensive stat, and the Cowboys likely ranked in the bottom five in it in year one without star Micah Parsons . That’s one of the biggest reasons why Dallas won the same number of games it did last year as in 2024 (seven). So far, Dallas is focusing its free-agency efforts on bolstering the defense, which allowed 35 touchdowns in 2025 ( second-most in the NFL).
