The 2025 NFL season might be make-or-break not just for the Dallas Cowboys as a team, but especially for quarterback Dak Prescott. Following a rough 2024 season that ended with a disappointing 7-10 record and no playoff appearance, pressure is mounting—and the upcoming schedule won’t offer any favors.
The NFL’s most punishing stretch awaits the Cowboys
After losing Prescott to injury last season, Dallas never recovered, watching division rivals like the Eagles and Commanders surge. While owner Jerry Jones and his front office made aggressive offseason moves—such as drafting Alabama lineman Tyler Booker to replace the retired Zack Martin and trading for Steelers wide receiver George Pickens—many wonder if it’s too little, too late.
What has fans and analysts buzzing isn’t just the star-studded roster or offseason trades—it’s the unforgiving second-half schedule. From Weeks 12 through 17, the Cowboys will face six straight playoff teams, each of whom won at least 11 games last season: the Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Vikings, Chargers, and Commanders.
That brutal stretch marks a first in NFL history. No team has ever faced such a gauntlet of opponents in back-to-back weeks, and it could spell disaster for Dallas' already fragile postseason hopes.
The Cowboys open the season as clear underdogs against defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s a high-stakes game, and for many, a glimpse into whether Dak Prescott and his new-look offense can rise to the occasion—or crumble under pressure.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Prescott, whose contract situation and long-term future remain murky. If the team falters, Dallas could turn to the 2026 draft, where top quarterback prospects like Arch Manning and Drew Allar await. The writing may already be on the wall.

Sportsbooks have set the Cowboys’ win total over/under at just 7.5, a clear indicator that expectations are low. One thing is clear: Prescott will be fighting not just for wins, but for his place in Cowboys history.
The pressure is on in Dallas. And for Dak Prescott, the 2025 season could be his final audition.
