The 2024 campaign didn't go as well as the Cowboys would have liked, but 2025 is set up prefectly to be a bounce-back year. Not only is Prescott healthy, but the team has a renewed focus on bringing versatility to the offense.

WIth a stronger running game and pre-snap motion, some of the pressure will be taken off of Prescott's shoulders.

Oh, there was also a major splash move to land George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers, giving the Cowboys one of the best one-two combos at receiver with Pickens and CeeDee Lamb.

If everything falls into place, the Cowboys are in position to surprise a lot of people this year.
