Meanwhile, the Cowboys are looking for a big bounceback after a very difficult 2020 season. Dallas went 6-10, losing quarterback Dak Prescott for the season with a broken ankle in Week 5. Though the NFC East continues to be perhaps the league’s weakest division, it remains to be seen if Prescott alone can be the spark to push Dallas to the playoffs.
