Dallas Cowboys aim to address offensive shortcomings for 2026 season

The Dallas Cowboys are focusing on key areas to improve their offense heading into the 2026 season. Despite a strong overall offensive performance in 2025, the Cowboys struggled with opening drives, explosive run plays, and effectiveness in the red zone. Slow starts plagued the team, with no points on first possessions until Week 5. Improvements in the run game are expected if Jaydon Blue steps up, as the Cowboys were among the lowest in explosive runs last season. Additionally, their red-zone performance needs to enhance, ranking 16th in touchdown percentage with too many missed opportunities. The team hopes that continuity and experience will lead to better execution this upcoming season.
