A record is always hard to break, no matter who holds it. Could we see any single-season Cowboys records overthrown next season?
I had to catch myself a handful of times when I was trying to compile a list of records that a current player could break next season.
We saw Dak Prescott break Tony Romo’s single-season touchdown record when he threw 37 a season ago.
The first record that comes to mind is the sack record which belongs to DeMarcus Ware as he registered 20 in 2008.
Dallas has two different guys that have a chance to break that record, Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence.
Parsons put up an incredible 13 sacks in his rookie campaign, and he did not even line up as a primary rusher for the entire season. I am excited to see what he will do in year two under Dan Quinn.
Lawrence sits 4th in the record books currently. He was able to register 14.5 sacks during the 2017 season. If healthy, Lawrence has the chance to top his record, but with the extra game might be able to come close to 20 sacks.
People may call me crazy for thinking this. Dez Bryant currently holds the record for most receiving touchdowns as a Cowboy with 16.
CeeDee Lamb has a chance to be great. I am not saying he will break the record, but with no Amari Cooper, Lamb has to be the guy, and I think he will thrive.
I could have probably found a different record to replace this one. Like sack record, it just comes down to who I trust the most on this team. Do I expect Lamb to break the record? No, but I think he may come close.
I trust Parsons, Lawrence and I trust Lamb. That is why I gave them a chance to break one of the Cowboys’ single-season records next season.
