Cowboys’ Defense Just Needs to Be Adequate | Sports News

Bill Barnwell is throwing shade on the Dallas Cowboys’ playoff chances — but not in a bad way. He’s betting they don’t need a top-tier defense to sneak into the postseason, just “adequate” play. With an elite offense returning all 11 starters — Dak, Lamb, Pickens all firing — the Cowboys could win enough games to land a wild-card spot. Even with guard Tyler Smith sidelined for a month, the firepower is undeniable. Barnwell’s bold take? The offense can carry them if the defense doesn’t collapse. After a two-year playoff drought, this might be the easiest path back to the postseason for a franchise built on big wins.
