Dallas Cowboys offense projected to dominate NFL in 2026

Dallas Cowboys NFL Dak Prescott Brian Schottenheimer offense predictions

The Dallas Cowboys are generating significant preseason hype heading into the 2026 NFL season under head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Following a 2025 season where the team ranked second in total yardage and seventh in scoring, analysts are predicting high offensive output.

Dak Prescott is projected to potentially lead the league in both passing yardage and touchdowns, supported by a receiving corps that includes CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Schottenheimer, entering his second year, oversaw an offense that averaged 27.7 points per game last season.

On the defensive side, the team has undergone changes, including the hiring of Christian Parker as defensive coordinator and the addition of veterans such as Von Miller, Rashan Gary, and Otito Ogbonnia. Despite missing the playoffs last season with a 7-9-1 record, the team's preseason performance and roster updates have led commentators to view them as strong contenders.
