Until next time, Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys won't continue disappointing you, for now.

• They lost the final game of the season yesterday at AT&T Stadium, ending with a 7-10 record.

Why it matters: This is the first time in four years that Dallas hasn't made the playoffs.

• After dominating at home last season and a short playoff run, the Cowboys went from America's Team to America's Disappointment this season.

The latest: The Cowboys will have the 12th overall pick in the upcoming draft.

• Linebacker Micah Parsons, wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and KaVontae Turpin, kicker Brandon Aubrey and guard Tyler Smith also made the 2025 Pro Bowl roster last week.

State of play: Dak Prescott became the NFL's highest paid player in September but injured his hamstring weeks later, leaving Cooper Rush to finish the season.

• Dallas struggled at home and on the road, winning three games with Prescott and four with Rush in the starting quarterback position.
• Parsons and Lamb remained the league's top players in their positions, but the team didn't rally around them.

What's next: Netflix plans to release a documentary this year about how the Cowboys became the world's most valuable sports franchise and won three Super Bowls under Jerry Jones' ownership.

• The documentary will include interviews with Jones, Troy Aikman, former Cowboys coaches, former President George W. Bush and Nike founder Phil Knight, per a new trailer.
