The 2024 NFL season has become even more challenging for the Dallas Cowboys. In Week 9, the team lost Dak Prescott to a hamstring injury, and the latest update from the team’s CEO offers little reason for optimism.

Entering the season, many considered the Cowboys legitimate contenders. However, they have fallen far short of expectations, leaving fans wondering if another year will pass without success.

Sitting at 3-5, the Cowboys’ best chance at a postseason berth seems to be through the Wild Card. Unfortunately, they will be without Prescott for at least four weeks as he deals with a significant hamstring injury.
