Head Coach: Mike McCarthy
2020 Record: 6-10
First Round Draft Pick: Micah Parsons, LB (12)
Dak is back, and he's signed up as QB for America's team for the long-term. Excellent. Dak's injury in week five last year explains why the Cowboys offense struggled... but what the heck happened to the defense? The Cowboys' defense was -- quite simply -- awful, allowing the most points and the most passing touchdowns in team history. Bad enough for Defensive Coordinator Mike Nolan to lose his job, and bad enough for Dallas to use their first six draft picks on defense, including the outstanding Linebacker Micah Parsons in the first round. New DC Dan Quinn has an excellent pedigree, despite a poor ending to his tenure as head coach in Atlanta, and the Cowboys look well-stocked to retake the lead in the NFC East.
