Dallas finished 7-9-1 in 2025, a disappointing result that underscored ongoing questions about the Cowboys’ overall trajectory. Prescott acknowledged the offense shared in the blame, noting that despite some scoring success, Dallas didn’t play with the required complementary balance in several games, particularly when the defense didn’t carry the day.
Prescott has climbed into the franchise record books in a big way, surpassing Tony Romo as the Cowboys’ all-time passing leader with 35,989 yards. He also owns the club marks for completions (3,184) and attempts (4,759), though he still trails Romo in passing touchdowns (243 to Romo’s 248).
The healthy finish to 2025 carries extra meaning for Prescott, who previously dealt with a hamstring avulsion suffered during the 2024 season. “Finishing the season healthy, being in the league this long … to finish the season playing all the games and being healthy and go into the offseason full go … I am super, super thankful for it,” he said, highlighting the recovery and its impact on his outlook.
Prescott is also signaling a more proactive offseason approach, telling reporters that he has already begun training earlier than in past years. “Start earlier, really. I’ve already started training,” he said, noting he’s logged more offseason days than ever.
Looking ahead, the Cowboys must translate Prescott’s durability and productivity into sustained team success. Dallas has made the playoffs five times with him at the helm but is just 2-5 in those trips, underscoring the ongoing need for improvement on both sides of the ball and a plan to keep the offense from stagnating.
At 32 years old in his 10th season, Prescott’s early start to the winter gives him a clear objective as camp approaches: maximize his health, sharpen the offense, and push Dallas back toward consistent postseason competitiveness.
