Inconsistent Cowboys excelled offensively but faltered defensively, ultimately missing the playoffs in 2025.
At their attacking best in 2025 the unpredictable Cowboys proved too classy for the Raiders and Panthers as part of a four-game winning streak early in the season.
At their defensive worst the Cowboys gave up 138 points across three games to the Storm, Dolphins and Roosters as part of a mid-season slump that saw them drop out of the top eight never to return.
Flashy and frustrating. Exhilarating and infuriating. What makes them great is what makes them grate. That’s the Cowboys’ story as they head into an 11th season since the club’s maiden premiership.
