The postmortem for the 2020 Dallas Cowboys season tends to center on two things as the main contributors in creating that debacle. One, injuries, mostly impacted the offense, with Dak Prescott and most of the offensive line missing significant parts of the season. The other is thought to have mostly damaged the defense. That was the loss of all offseason work and OTAs. With a mostly new coaching staff, including defensive coordinator Mike Nolan and most of his assistants, it is theorized that trying to install a new, more complicated scheme with its attendant adjustments and changes from the year before was just a bridge too far.
