Five bold predictions for the Dallas Cowboys in 2025, for a team that did not live up to its potential last season.
Fans know all too well that last season was a titanic letdown. A significant injury to Dak Prescott demolished expectations of a deep playoff run.
The run game was terrible, the offensive line was a roller coaster, the defense was awful, and whatever else could go wrong was done.
The coaching staff was revamped, the star quarterback is coming back, the defense is getting a major player back, and the offensive line should have some continuity this season.
That said, here are five bold predictions for the 2025 season.
Prediction 1: The Offensive Line Will be a Top Ten in the NFL
The most significant addition to the offensive line was not a player, but two of the best offensive line coaches in the NFL and NCAA, who are now on the Cowboys’ staff.
Offensive Coordinator Klayton Adams and Offensive Line Coach Conor Riley will have this offensive line playing top-notch football.
These two coaches and a young, hungry offensive line group will lead to a top ten unit.
This offensive line will consist of a second-year player at left tackle, a two-time Pro Bowler at left guard, an underrated second-year center, a mean right guard, and an underrated right tackle.
Combined, Tyler Guyton, Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe, Brock Hoffman, and Terence Steele graded out at 63.2 in pass blocking and 67.8 in run blocking per PFF.com’s advanced stats.
Expect these numbers to climb well into the 70s next season.
Prediction 2: Micah Parsons Breaks the Single-Season Sack Record
The single-season sack record is held by T.J. Watt and Michael Strahan, who both achieved 22.5 sacks for a season.
TJ Watt accomplished the feat in 2021, and Michael Strahan in 2001.
Micah Parsons will break the record in 2025 and end the season with 23 sacks, and it will be due to the help he receives from his defensive teammates.
Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland will be coming into the season healthy, and the best way to get sacks is to have corners who can give Parsons time to get to the quarterback.
Adding in a healthy Sam Williams could help Micah Parsons see fewer double teams.
All this equals a big year loading for the lion.
Prediction 3: Dak Prescott Will Join the 5,000-Yard Club
Dak Prescott was injured early last season when his hamstring was torn from the bone.
He has rehabbed, lost weight, and looks ready to go in 2025.

The 5,000-yard club has nine members, but will see a tenth added in 2025.
Dak Prescott’s closest season to reaching this milestone was 2023, when he threw for 4,919 yards. He was close in 2021, also, with 4,703 yards.
Both of these seasons had something in common.
Dak Prescott was coming off an injury from the year before.
Prescott is looking good, has lost weight, and is ready to join the 5,000-yard club.
Prediction 4: Brian Schottenheimer Will Lead the Cowboys to a Deep Playoff Run
As much slack as Brian Schottenheimer has got from being named head coach, 2025 will be a season to remember.
His team is only a few pieces away from being truly elite.
He has put together one of the better coaching staffs in the league. He has 25 years of NFL experience, his quarterback is familiar with him and the offense, and he will have an elite defense.

All of these will equal a great run for the first-time head coach, and he will show all the naysayers he was made to be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
Prediction 5: Offensive Rookie of the Year
The 2025 NFL Draft is getting closer, and the Cowboys will make a splash with their first pick.
The Dallas Cowboys will select Tetairoa McMillan with the 12th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.
This selection will allow the Cowboys to unlock the offense, and McMillan and CeeDee Lamb will complement one another perfectly.
The Cowboys will have two 1,000-yard receivers, one of whom will be Tetairoa McMillan. He will also make eight touchdown catches and run away with the award of offensive rookie of the year.
Let’s sit back, relax, and enjoy the upcoming season.
The Dallas Cowboys are coming back with a vengeance, and they will be ready for what the NFL has in store for them this season.
These predictions will come true. I am speaking it into the universe.
