The 2024 season is the Dallas Cowboys' 65th season in the National Football League (NFL) and their fifth under head coach Mike McCarthy. This is their first season since 2020 without Dan Quinn as defensive coordinator, as the Washington Commanders hired him to be their head coach. He was replaced in that role by former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer, who returned to the Cowboys after eighteen years. The Cowboys failed to improve upon their 12–5 record from the past three seasons following a loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9, and after suffering their sixth loss to the Philadelphia Eagles the following week, they are guaranteed to have a worse record. They still look to make the playoffs for the fourth straight year, and win the NFC East in back-to-back years, something the Cowboys have not done since 1996, and no NFC East team has done since the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004.

For the first time since 2010, offensive tackle Tyron Smith will not be on the roster, as he signed with the New York Jets during free agency.[1] On April 29, running back Ezekiel Elliott returned to the team after a year away.[2]

Game information

Despite the Cowboys falling behind 28–6 after three quarters, which included a franchise-record 65-yard field goal by Brandon Aubrey in the first quarter, the Cowboys nearly mounted a comeback. Following a Ravens missed field goal, the Cowboys were able to score a touchdown to cut the score to 28–12. The Cowboys then proceeded to recover an onside kick and score another touchdown to cut down the lead to 28–18. Despite the subsequent onside kick attempt being unsuccessful, the Cowboys defense forced a stop and got the ball back with over five and a half minutes remaining, and the Cowboys were able to score another touchdown to cut the lead down to 28–25. However, the Cowboys were unable to get a defensive stop and proceeded to lose by that score.[8] This was the first time since 2010 the Cowboys started 0–2 at home.
