The New England Patriots' offense stalled in a major way during the playoffs. They scored a single touchdown against the Chargers in a 16-3 win in the wild-card round, then scored 21 points despite forcing five turnovers against the Texans. After a strip sack put New England inside the red zone against Denver, Drake Maye ran in a touchdown for their only score of the game. They totaled 78 yards in the first three quarters of the Super Bowl.
The Cowboys' most expensive decision in the 2026 offseason will come at wide receiver. Do they re-sign George Pickens for what is sure to be one of this year's most lucrative non-QB contracts? Do they utilize the franchise tag, which would cost them even more in salary cap space? Or do they let Pickens walk, losing one of their most important offensive weapons and creating a new, significant offseason need?
