The 2025 season didn’t go to plan for the Cowboys, particularly on defense. Dallas’s defense was one of the worst in the NFL throughout the entire campaign, and never truly felt as if it made any meaningful improvements over the course of the 18-week season.
They ended the season on a low note, too. The Cowboys surrendered 34 points in their season finale against the rival Giants, giving New York its fourth win of the season. As such, the team has surrendered a total of 511 points this season. That is the worst mark in franchise history, as no Cowboys defense has ever surrendered more than 500 points in a season.
