What chance do you give the Cowboys of winning the NFC East?
The Cowboys seem to be flying under the radar right now, even though they are likely to be right in the thick of things when the NFC East divisional race officially kicks off later this year. With that in mind, here are three reasons why they will win the division in Brian Schottenheimer’s first year as head coach.
George Pickens unlocks Cowboys passing attack
We’re not even two full years removed from Dak Prescott finishing second in MVP voting. Brian Schottenheimer was the offensive coordinator that year, too, so he knows what it looks like when Prescott is firing on all cylinders.
Now, Prescott is healthy and back under center in Dallas. Not only that, but star receiver CeeDee Lamb is now being flanked by George Pickens, who has done nothing but turn heads consistently in minicamp and OTA’s. His elite vertical threat should open up much more underneath for Lamb and others, like Jake Ferguson and Jalen Tolbert.
