Follow Us
For the Dallas Cowboys everything that could go wrong, did go wrong in 2020. Losing star QB Dak Prescott early on in the season, the franchise finished with a 6-10 record.
Finishing 3rd in the NFC East, the franchise had a season to forget under new Head Coach Mike McCarthy. But come 2021 and the Cowboys are looking to bounce back.
Locking down Prescott to a long-term contract, the franchise is looking to return to winning ways this upcoming season. But to do that they need to focus on their defense as well.
