A New Look for the Cowboys
Coaching Uncertainty
Another major question mark for the Cowboys in 2025 is the coaching staff. The addition of Brian Schottenheimer as head coach is a gamble. While Schottenheimer has experience in the league, he is stepping into a big role with a franchise that has high expectations. The pressure will be on him to manage the team, implement a successful strategy, and deliver results. If Schottenheimer struggles early, it could put the Cowboys in a hole that’s difficult to climb out of.
Division Rivals in the NFC
The Cowboys play in a highly competitive division, with the defending NFC champions in their own backyard. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys are perennial rivals, and the New York Giants and Washington Commanders are both teams that have shown potential to disrupt the NFC East standings. Given the strength of the division, the Cowboys will need to hit the ground running and avoid slipping into a bad start, as every loss in the division could prove to be costly.
One of the biggest challenges for the Cowboys could be their head-to-head matchups against the Eagles and other NFC contenders. As Orr pointed out, the Cowboys are in the same division as the two teams that faced off in the NFC Championship Game in 2024. With these tough divisional games on the horizon, Dallas will need to perform at a high level week in and week out.
