The Dallas Cowboys had one of their worst seasons in the last five years in 2024, finishing with a losing record of 7-10 and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020.

But for the season that kicks off in September, the Lone Star team is hoping to turn the page and return to the postseason, although it will be competing in a division that features two of the best teams in the NFL.

The NFC East produced the two teams that fought for the NFC Championship Game, the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles, who eventually won Super Bowl LIX.

The Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott missed half of last season due to injury, but he has been preparing to come back stronger for the next season, and will have a renewed and strengthened attack.
