Cowboys could accomplish rare feat on offense in 2026

Three Over 1K

As noted above, this has happened five other times, with the most recent happening in 2008, over 15 years ago.

The first was done in 1980 by the San Diego Chargers. Kellen Winslow is the only other tight end on this list. His other two teammates were John Jefferson and Charlie Joiner.

In 1989, the Washington Redskins did it. Gary Clark, Art Monk and Ricky Sanders. The Atlanta Falcons then did it in 1995 with Eric Metcalf, Terance Mathis and Bert Emanuel.

A team finally broke onto the scene in 2004 when Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harris and Brandon Stokley all had over 1k, and finally, the last time it was accomplished was in 2008 and what a TRIO of guys this was. Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston.

It has been 18 years and counting since the last group of guys did that. We have seen plenty of duos go over 1k. The Cowboys did it last year with George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb.

So that brings me to 2026. I am already counting Lamb and Pickens to go well over 1k again this season, and Ferguson got his mojo back a season ago, I think.

Ferg had 600 yards last season after a down in 2024, but in 2023 he went for 761, so let’s not act like this is not possible to happen, because it very well could.

I think a wild card in this will be Ryan Flournoy, who is poised to have a breakout year and his best as a pro.

Jalen Tolbert is gone, so he is the clear-cut no. 3 guy on this team and should get a lot of great matchups with all the attention that Lamb and Pickens are going to be getting.

He only started 4 games a year ago. Although he played in 16, he will be featured much more in 2026. He finished the year with 40 catches for 475 yards and 4 touchdowns.

I think he could double that yard mark, and that would put him at 950. So honestly, the Dallas offense has a great chance to make this happen.

The Dallas Cowboys offense will be good again in 2026 and this won’t mean anything if they don’t make the playoffs. The defense will still struggle on the backend just a bit, but overall, they got better and if you say they didn’t, we can agree to disagree.

The right question to ask will be, will it be good enough?

Let’s see how this goes, but I expect them to be good enough to make the playoffs, but we will see if they can win when it matters.
