    The Dallas Cowboys‘ offense was stuck in neutral last season, particularly after quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending injury, largely torpedoing the franchise’s chances at challenging the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East.

    However, after an offseason overhaul, including a blockbuster trade to acquire George Pickens, Prescott suddenly has a potentially explosive passing game with quality depth alongside him in the backfield that could spark a quick turnaround in Dallas this season.

    Pickens boasts a career 16.3 yards per reception average, but Prescott is the most prolific and complete quarterback that he’s played with to date in his career, while adding running backs Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders, and the potential emerge of Jayden Blue gives the Cowboys the chance to dictate to teams in the ground game, as well.

    Could the Dallas Cowboys Boast one of The NFL’s Premier Offenses?

    Postseason shortcomings have become a defining feature of Prescott’s career and the Cowboys’ legacy since last appearing in the Super Bowl in 1996.

    However, Bleacher Report NFL analyst Brent Sobleski ranked each NFL offense entering the 2025 season, with the Cowboys emerging at No. 11, just ahead of the Eagles and trailing only the Washington Commanders in the NFC East.

    Quarterback Dak Prescott may have benefited more than any other other player this offseason thanks to the Dallas Cowboys’ acquisitions.

    “The recent trade for George Pickens,” Sobleski writes for B/R. “Finally gives the Cowboys a legitimate WR2 after CeeDee Lamb led the NFL in targets over the last two seasons.

    “Dallas also features an all-new backfield with veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, as well as rookies Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah. This quartet gives the Cowboys far more depth and variance among their ball-carriers than a year ago when Rico Dowdle managed 1,079 rushing yards and no one else on the roster could muster more than 226.”

    The Cowboys have set Prescott and the offense up to succeed, now it’s up to new head coach Brian Schottenheimer to craft a scheme that maximizes Dallas’ collection of weapons to the point they can lead a postseason charge.
