(Editor's Note: Who doesn't love lists? Throughout the season, 'High 5' will provide a top five list for many of the critical topics surrounding the Dallas Cowboys 2025 season.)
Every offseason, the expectations for teams and players run rampant. It's an early gauge on how the season could go for organizations across the league. This season for the Dallas Cowboys has not gone to expectation. Dallas is 4-5-1 through their first 10 games and have seen some significant ups-and-downs as they enter Week 12 against Philadelphia.
However, this is the point of the season where there is enough of a sample size to begin seeing if certain elements of the team are passing the standard they were signed on for. Some players have fallen below expectations, while others have soared right past them.
