The NFL’s competitive nature emphasizes the importance of winning close games, where the Dallas Cowboys struggled last season, finishing 3-3-1 in one-possession games. Their mixed results included notable victories and disappointing losses, highlighting a need for improvement in clutch situations. If they had performed better, their record could have significantly improved from 7-9-1 to 10-7. For 2026, the Cowboys must enhance their ability to secure wins in tightly contested matchups.
