Not so long ago, the Dallas Cowboys looked like one of the best two or three teams in the league.
Fast forward to today, and it doesn’t seem like the rest of the NFL is scared of them anymore.
Granted that losing star CB Trevon Diggs was a big blow to their defense, but their offense is an even bigger concern right now.
With that in mind, former NFL star Plaxico Burress stated that there’s a real possibility that the Cowboys won’t even make the playoffs this season.

That could sound like a stretch, but as he showed in “The Carton Show,” their schedule isn’t exactly easy.
Up next, Mike McCarthy’s team is set for a date with the Los Angeles Chargers, followed by their bye week, and then games vs. the Los Angeles Rams and back-to-back divisional clashes vs. Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants.
They do face the Carolina Panthers next, but the rest of the way is quite tough with matchups vs. the Seattle Seahawks, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, and three divisional games vs. Washington Commanders (2), and Eagles.
They’re currently sitting on a 3-2 record, and while they do have the personnel to end up on top and win most of those games, they may not be able to do it with Dak Prescott playing this way.
The Cowboys are dominant when everything goes their way early, but they can’t seem to fight their way back into a game when they get outscored early, and that’s going to be a major concern going forward.
