'This one hurts': How are Cowboys reacting to third straight 1-2 start?
Dallas finished 7-9-1 in 2025 and 7-10 in 2024 after winning one of its first three games. Will 2026 be any different?
The Cowboys' 1-2 start is a tough pill to swallow, especially for a team with such high expectations. Fans are likely feeling frustrated and concerned, given the team's recent history of underperforming after strong starts. It's a pattern that's becoming all too familiar in Big D, and it's only natural to wonder if 2026 will be more of the same.
The NFL landscape is always competitive, but the Cowboys' division, the NFC East, is particularly tough. With teams like the Eagles and Giants consistently vying for playoff spots, the Cowboys can't afford to get off to a slow start. If they can't turn things around quickly, they risk falling too far behind and being out of contention. The team's leadership, including head coach and the front office, will be under pressure to make adjustments and get the team back on track.
As the Cowboys look to get their season back on course, all eyes will be on their next game and how they respond to adversity. Can they bounce back with a win, or will they continue to struggle? The team's performance over the next few weeks will be crucial in determining their trajectory for the season. Cowboys fans will be watching closely, hoping for a turnaround and a return to contention.
