Last season, the Dallas Cowboys were one of the biggest disappointments for several reasons: Dak Prescott got injured, the running game was one of the worst in the NFL, they missed the playoffs, the Washington Commanders took a step forward, and to make matters worse, the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl.
It was a year full of problems for the Cowboys, which is why they decided not to continue with Head Coach Mike McCarthy. The job was taken over by Brian Schottenheimer, who was the offensive coordinator last season and now faces the major challenge of turning Dallas back into a contender.
The reality is that it looks very difficult, because Philadelphia is once again the heavy favorite to win the NFC East. They look just as strong as last season, and the Washington Commanders had an impressive year with Jayden Daniels, and it seems they’ll continue along the same path.
