The 2026 Cowboys are focusing on achieving at least nine wins this season to avoid a third consecutive losing record. After finishing 7-9-1 last season, analysts predict improvement, with projections of 9-8 or even 10 wins possible for the team. A repeat of past performance would put the Cowboys in the ranks of franchises with prolonged losing seasons, a situation they have not faced since the early 2000s. The team aims to build on last season's offensive success while looking to the revamped defensive strategy under coordinator Christian Parker for a turnaround this year.
