Cowboys Disrespected in Latest NFL Offensive Power Rankings

Despite going 7-9-1 and missing the playoffs for the second year in a row, the Dallas Cowboys boasted one of the league’s most explosive offenses.

Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson led an elite aerial attack while Javonte Williams was a bruiser on the ground. Their balance was tough for opposing teams to deal with as they racked up 6,663 yards and 471 points.

Surprisingly, the Cowboys will return all 11 starters this season, meaning they’re expected to be just as dangerous in 2025. That’s why it was a little surprising to see where they landed in a recent offensive ranking from Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport.

Davenport had the Cowboys fifth overall, but they were oddly behind the Jacksonville Jaguars, who lost Travis Etienne this offseason. Etienne recorded 1,399 yards from scrimmage with 13 touchdowns, which is enough to hurt any offense, whereas the Cowboys have continuity on their side.

”As you can see, practically nothing has changed for a unit that ranked very highly in 2025. The biggest issue was ball security, but they even seemed to iron that out with just three turnovers in their last four games,” Davenport wrote.

“Continuity on the depth chart and within the coaching staff should benefit a team with all of the pieces in place at all the skill positions and most of the offensive line.”
