With eight standalone games, including six primetime matchups, the Cowboys are set to be one of the most visible teams in the league. Their Weeks 12-17 stretch is particularly daunting, featuring six consecutive games against teams that won 11 or more games last season, an unprecedented challenge in NFL history.
Fans can expect intense divisional battles, marquee matchups against Super Bowl contenders, and a season that could define the Cowboys' future under Schottenheimer. Will Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and newly acquired WR George Pickens lead Dallas back to the playoffs? The journey begins September 4.
Stay tuned for updates as the Cowboys prepare for the 2025 season!
