The full 2022 schedule for the Dallas Cowboys has been revealed, and we take a shot at predicting how their year goes.
The Dallas Cowboys won the NFC East title for the first time since 2018 last season. With their offense and a great defensive effort under coordinator Dan Quinn, the Cowboys were expected to make a deep run in the playoffs. Instead, they were eliminated by the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round.
Dallas’ roster does look a bit different next season, as they traded wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns, watched edge rusher Randy Gregory sign with the Denver Broncos, and released offensive tackle La’el Collins.Regardless of how the roster looks, the Cowboys are expected to contend for the division at minimum.
The Cowboys’ full schedule for the 2022 season has been revealed, and we take a crack at predicting how the year will go for them.
