Can America’s Team Finally Break Through?
The Dallas Cowboys finished the 2025 regular season with a 14-3 record, one game shy of sweeping the NFC East, going unbeaten at home, and securing the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Under first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer, the Cowboys blended explosive offense, timely defense, and rising young stars into one of their most complete seasons in decades.
Now the question remains: Can they finish the job?
Here’s a full breakdown of the Cowboys’ projected 2025 playoff run, including matchups and score predictions.
NFC Playoff Picture (Projected Final Seeding)

- Atlanta Falcons (10-7)
- Philadelphia Eagles (12-5)

Wild Card Round: Cowboys—Bye
As the No. 1 seed, Dallas earns a critical week of rest, allowing stars like Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens to recover.
Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who starred in December, is now fully unleashed and ready to wreak havoc.
NFC Divisional Round: Cowboys vs Green Bay Packers
Prediction: Cowboys 31, Packers 20
The Cowboys end the playoff nightmare that has haunted them for over two decades by finally beating Green Bay.
Prescott throws three touchdowns, and Parsons goes off on the Packers’ offensive line.
The defense forces two Jordan Love turnovers, and Jaydon Blue carries the offense down the stretch.

NFC Championship: 49ers @ Cowboys
Prediction: Cowboys 27, 49ers 24
In the most emotional and hard-fought win of the season, Dallas takes down its playoff nemesis in San Francisco.
A late defensive stand by DaRon Bland and DeMarvion Overshown halts a potential game-tying drive, and Brandon Aubrey nails the game-winning kick from 45 yards.

It’s a heavyweight fight on the game’s biggest stage—Mahomes vs Prescott, Reid vs Schottenheimer, Parson vs Kelce. And when the confetti settles, America’s Team finally delivers.
Dak Prescott plays the game of his life, and CeeDee Lamb cements his legacy with two touchdowns. Micah Parsons sacks Mahomes twice in the second half, and rookie Shavon Revel Jr intercepts a fourth-quarter pass to seal the win.

Final Record (Including the Playoffs): 17-3
Super Bowl Champions. Legacy Secured.
As Jean-Luc Picard might say: “Make it so!”
Wow! Optimistic would be an understatement with that prediction, Cody.
Only true fans try to be as optimistic as they can when it comes to they’re favorite team!!
Nah, true fans know better. 30 years of “ALMOST” ending in embarrassing failure teaches you a thing or two about optimism.
And then the young Cody awoke from his dream and realized………..
More of a delusion, but you’re on right track.
You never know, it could happen!!
This would be awesome!! Beating the only 2 teams that has knocked us out of the playoffs the last few years in back to back games to make it to the Super Bowl would be the best way to get to the Super Bowl!! That’s what you could really call getting past your demons!! The last 3 playoff trips we were taken out by the 49ers twice and Green Bay once, and then back in 2014 and 2016 we lost to Green Bay in those games too, with us getting screwed over in both of those games!! So beating them to make it to the championship game would be the best feeling in the world, and then beating the 49ers in the championship game would be right below that feeling and then beating the qweefs to win the Super Bowl would feel just as good as beating Green Bay in the divisional round maybe a little better since we would have our first Super Bowl win in 30 years!! It’s hard to describe how it would feel to overcome those 2 teams and then winning the Super Bowl too!! I would party for a month straight if that happened!! Lol
What is this, fan fiction? Instead, be ready for another season of stupid mistakes and stupid choices, more complaining about the Joneses, and finishing with 7 or 8 wins.
I bet you’re fun at parties!!!
Sorry, my bad.
Woo! Go cowboys! Legitimate Superbowl Contenders! This is our year! Just like every year!
Better?
There we go!!! Its always more fun being optimistic, but hard sometimes. Anyway I appreciate you reading the article.
Don’t get me wrong, Nobody would love for this to happen more than me. But the last 30 years have taught me otherwise. Has any other team had more 12+ win seasons with complete playoff failure than Dallas?
a Dallas Cowboys fan, since the 70’s no! the Cowboys won’t make the playoffs like I said before looking at the Cowboys 2025 schedule the Cowboys will lose 10 games
