When the 2024 schedule was released back in May, we saw that the Cowboys had the 12th “toughest” Strength of Schedule (SOS) heading into the 2024 season. Their 2024 opponents had finished with a .505 winning percentage, which - if we are being honest - is more of a “middling” schedule than a “tough” schedule.
Be that as it may, now that the 2025 regular season is well past its halfway point, we can take a look at how the schedule has actually played out so far. Through Monday, Nov. 25, the Cowboys SOS is .516, which is currently tied with the Browns for 11th toughest schedule in the league.
