Members of the Cowboys organization, Cowboys fans around the world and those who just want to see the Cowboys win some playoff games again:
Dallas dominated the NFC East in 2021. Which, well, wasn’t saying much, given the state of the division. But hey, the Cowboys posted a perfect 6-0 record against their closest rivals, winning the divisional crown by three games. They closed out the regular season with five wins in their final six contests. Once again, though, a promising campaign ended without a playoff win, much less a Super Bowl title. Dallas hasn’t even come within sniffing distance of a Lombardi Trophy since the mid-1990s. Are the ‘Boys any closer this year?
That’s the question we’ll explore in this file. But before we dive in, I want to mark the recent passing of former Cowboys running back Marion Barber III, who died in his apartment on June 1, just nine days before his 39th birthday. Miserable. Far too young. Barber spent his first six NFL seasons in Dallas, earning a Pro Bowl bid when he rushed for a career-high 975 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2007. But honestly, the best summation of his rugged, inspiring playing style comes via a random first-down carry appropriately dubbed “The Greatest 2-Yard Run of All Time.” What a warrior. Rest in peace.
