It is going to be important for the Cowboys to establish an offensive identity.
One interesting quirk of the 2024 Cowboys season is that the team lost every single game in which the opponent scored 27 points or more. The 2024 opponents scored 27 or more points in nine games and the Cowboys were 0-9 in those games. When the opponents scored 26 or fewer points, the Cowboys were 8-1.

So how can the Cowboys avoid a repeat this year?
One option is to hope that a defense that ranked 31st last year in points allowed suddenly transforms into a top 10 unit and holds every opponent to no more than 26 points.
Another, and possibly better, option is to look to your offense to score more, which is not as far-fetched as it may sound.
