Dallas Cowboys announce schedule for 2022 season
The Dallas Cowboys have officially announced their schedule for the 2022 season. Coming off of a 12-5 finish and trip to the playoffs this past year, they once enter with high hopes.
The Cowboys are set to face a number of tough opponents in 2022, including the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams. Other notable draws include Super Bowl runner-up Cincinnati, the Green Bay Packers, the Tennessee Titans, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As usual, Dallas must also face NFC East foe Philadelphia, which acquired Titans receiver AJ Brown via trade this offseason, twice.
Below is the full 2022 schedule for the Dallas Cowboys:
Last year’s early playoff exit was another major disappointment for the Cowboys, who haven’t made it past the divisional round since 1995, the last season they won the Super Bowl. Dallas lost to San Francisco in the wild card round, dropping quarterback Dak Prescott‘s career postseason record to 1-3 since he joined the team in 2016.
Coming off of an ankle injury that caused him to miss most of last season, Prescott threw for a career-high 37 touchdowns this past season in addition to 4,449 yards and 10 interceptions. The Cowboys responded by signing him to a four-year extension worth up to $164 million, putting their faith in him for the long haul. But while Dallas kept its quarterback, it also lost Pro Bowl receiver Amari Cooper and defensive end Randy Gregory this offseason.
Dallas also some talent through the 2022 NFL Draft, where they spent their first three picks on offensive tackle Tyler Smith, edge defender Sam Williams and receiver Jalen Tolbert. Add that to an offense that already includes Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott, and the Cowboys once again look like a contender.
