Dak Prescott is back. After a season-ending injury that derailed the Cowboys’ 2024 campaign, Dallas enters 2025 with a fresh face on the sideline, new stars on the field, and renewed belief that this could be their year. Can this recharged roster—and a newly motivated Dak—finally deliver?

Prescott’s comeback headlines a dramatic offseason for “America’s Team.” The Cowboys named Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach, moving up from offensive coordinator after Mike McCarthy’s departure. The franchise invested heavily in the roster: adding George Pickens at wide receiver, Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders to a revamped backfield, and rookie Tyler Booker to fill the shoes of retired legend Zack Martin on the offensive line. Defensively, coordinator Matt Eberflus brings a fresh approach, joined by new faces like Solomon Thomas and Kenneth Murray.

This is more than just a comeback for Dak Prescott—it’s a statement about Dallas’s intent. After another year of playoff disappointment, the Cowboys are banking on their new coach’s culture-first philosophy and an injection of fresh talent to turn potential into performance.

But challenges remain: star CB Trevon Diggs is on the PUP list and faces contract fines; defensive superstar Micah Parsons is in a public standoff with owner Jerry Jones, and team chemistry has already been tested with early camp brawls.

Analysts say Dallas has “retooled, not rebuilt”—the weapons are there, but cohesion and leadership will define their ceiling in a fiercely competitive NFC East.

Dak Prescott:
“I’ve been cared for, trained smartly—and now I’m back to finish what we started.”

Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer:
“We’ve got a locker room full of leaders and hungry players. It’s a new era of Cowboys football. It’s about winning. Everything else is noise. I believe in Dak, and I believe this roster can get it done.”

Prescott’s journey—rising from fourth-round pick to franchise quarterback—mirrors the spirit of Dallas itself: resilient, ambitious, and always under the spotlight. Since their last Super Bowl nearly three decades ago, the Cowboys have chased redemption, cycling through coaches and QBs.

Now, with Schottenheimer at the helm and a roster loaded with young talent and established stars, the expectations have never been higher. Prescott’s health and leadership could be the missing piece that finally turns hope into a championship run.

Chiefs Head Coach Announces Chris Jones to Start on the Bench for Standout Rookie After Costly Mistake vs. Jaguars
  Kansas City, MO —The Kansas City Chiefs’ coaching staff confirmed that Chris Jones will start on the bench in the next game to make way for rookie DT Omarr Norman-Lott, following a mistake viewed as pivotal in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The move is framed as a message about discipline and micro-detail up front, while forcing the entire front seven to re-sync with Steve Spagnuolo’s system. Early-week film study highlighted two core issues. First, a neutral-zone/offsides penalty on a late 3rd-and-short that extended a Jaguars drive and set up the decisive points. Second, a Tex stunt (tackle–end exchange) that broke timing: the call asked Jones to spike the B-gap to occupy the guard while the end looped into the A-gap, but the footwork and shoulder angle didn’t marry, opening a clear cutback lane. To Spagnuolo, this was more than an individual error—it was a warning about snap discipline, gap integrity, pad level, and landmarks at contact, the very details that define Kansas City’s “January standard.” Under the adjusted plan, Omarr Norman-Lott takes the base/early-downs start to tighten interior gap discipline, stabilize run fits, and give the call sheet a cleaner platform. Chris Jones is not being shelved; he’ll be “lit up” in high-leverage situations—3rd-and-long, two-minute stretches, and the red zone—where his interior surge can collapse the pocket and force quarterbacks to drift into edge pursuit. In parallel, the staff will streamline the call sheet with the line group, standardize stunt tags (Tex/Pir), shrink the late-stem window pre-snap, and ramp game-speed reps in 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 so everyone is “seeing it the same, triggering the same.” Meeting the decision head-on, Jones kept it brief but competitive: “I can’t accept letting a kid take my spot, but I respect the coach’s decision. Let’s see what we’re saying after the game. I’ll practice and wait for my chance. When the ball is snapped, the QB will know who I am.” At team level, the Chiefs are banking on a well-timed hard brake to restore core principles: no free yards, no lost fits, more 3rd-and-longs forced, and the return of negative plays (TFLs, QB hits) that flip field position. In an AFC where margins often come down to half a step at the line, getting back to micro-details—from the first heel strike at the snap to the shoulder angle on contact—remains the fastest route for Kansas City to rebound from the stumble against Jacksonville.
