The Dallas Cowboys endured a rough 2020. With their defense in shambles and their offense looking toothless, America’s Team finished last season with a 6-10 losing record.
And perhaps the biggest reason for the Cowboys’ plight last season was the absence of star quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott, who started the season in hot form suffered a compound fracture to his leg during the side’s Week 7 tie against the Washington Football Team.
With Dak sidelined for the season, the otherwise feared Cowboys offense failed to get going under backup QB Andy Dalton. There were issues regarding Prescott’s long-term future with the franchise as well.
