Breaking news: Why one divisional opponent should worry the Dallas Cowboys, and the reason goes back 21 seasons.
Breaking news: Why one divisional opponent should worry the Dallas Cowboys, and the reason goes back 21 seasons.
Dallas Cowboys fans are aware of their whole 2024 NFL schedule, but they still need to exercise caution when facing one NFC East opponent due to a certain statistic.
He believes that Jerry Jones has given them the best chance of victory in 2024 by carefully planning his offseason activities.
To preserve much-needed contract space, the 81-year-old owner has permitted important starters to leave Dallas in free agency in order to sign cheaper rookies.
The restless fan base, who are hungry for success, and some sections of the media, however, have not embraced this.
Jerry Jones departed with resentment after not making it to the Super Bowl since 1995.
After an unsettling 29-year gap from an NFC Championship game, Jones has been compelled to act independently.
Jones is ready for an all-or-nothing season because the most valuable franchise in the world will only accept the best.
Furthermore, he appears happy to allow Mike McCarthy to start a contract year, and it appears he may do the same with signal-caller Dak Prescott.
Despite leading the NFC East in 2017 and being unbeaten at AT&T Stadium throughout the regular season, Jones is not happy.
Even after they won the NFL East, the Cowboys still have work to do.
If America’s Team hopes to win the NFC East in the coming years, they will now need to be ready to repel their divisional opponents.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ late-season collapse in 2023 provided the Cowboys with an opening, and they seized it. But in 2024, Jalen Hurts and his group will seek to take the top spot back.
The Cowboys also have to be concerned about this year’s dreadful Washington Commanders.
Dan Quinn, their former defensive coordinator, made the decision to leave the team to become the head coach of their division foe.
In addition, he defeated Cowboys free agent Dorance Armstrong and valuable center Tyler Biadasz. This is a new chapter in the Commanders’ history as they have highly anticipated quarterback prospect Jaylen Daniels.
There are other risks besides their additional roster talent and a head coach who is familiar with the ins and outs of the Cowboys.
A statistic based on the last 21 NFL seasons suggests that Washington might be a threat.
A statistic that has been reliable for 19 of the previous 21 seasons is something that America’s Team needs to acknowledge.
According to an article by NFL expert James Palmer on X, a team that placed last in their division has won it the following 19 out of the previous 21 seasons.
As a result, the Cowboys are quite justified in being concerned that the Commanders could unseat them.
But according to our Cowboys season projection, the Commanders will lose both at home and away in 2024.
