When someone asks if the Dallas Cowboys season was a disappointment, it is easy to answer that question with a yes. The team lost in the divisional round, despite what felt like a wide-open NFC and having a really talented roster. However, when you put into perspective how the season started, one could argue that the season was a tremendous success.
When QB Dak Prescott injured his right thumb in week one against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it felt like the season was over before it even had a chance to get started. With a projected recovery timeline of 6-8 weeks, and a difficult upcoming schedule for the team, some fans had given up on the 2022 season.
