Aikman on Cowboys' Defense: 'Fixing the Back End'

Troy Aikman anticipates the Dallas Cowboys 2026 season, marked by new head coach Brian Schottenheimer and a revamped defense. After a dismal 2025, the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons and fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. Theyve since hired Christian Parker and bolstered their defense with first-round picks Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence, along with free agents Jalen Thompson, Cobie Durant, and P.J. Locke. Aikman is optimistic about the defensive improvements, but questions the offenses ability to repeat their 2025 performance without significant defensive support.
