Ex-Buccaneers QB critiques Cowboys’ distractions during 30-year title drought

Chris Simms, former NFL quarterback, analyzes the Dallas Cowboys’ struggles over the past three decades, attributing them to distractions like contract drama and media attention rather than a lack of talent. He mentions key playoff moments, such as the 2016 loss to the Packers and the controversial catch by Dez Bryant in 2014, as examples of unlucky exits that overshadow the team’s real issues. Simms underscores that a consistently distracting environment hampers championship prospects, echoing concerns about the team's off-field noise as they prepare for the 2026 season after finishing 7-9-1 last year. The Cowboys will aim to leverage their talent, including new pass rusher Von Miller, to improve their postseason performance.
