The 2019 season was the Dallas Cowboys' 60th in the National Football League (NFL), their 11th playing home games at AT&T Stadium and their ninth and final season under head coach Jason Garrett. It also marked the return of tight end Jason Witten, who retired in 2018 and spent a year as the color analyst for Monday Night Football. Wide receiver Cole Beasley, who was the second-longest tenured player on the roster, left the team in the offseason and signed with the Bills.

Despite being 6–4 by Week 11 and leading the NFC East, the Cowboys suffered a late-season collapse, losing four of the last six games for a final record of 8-8. The Cowboys failed to improve on their 10–6 record from the previous season after a 26–15 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving. A week later, they became unable to tie that record with a 31–24 loss to the Chicago Bears. A Week 16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles was the turning point of their season, as they squandered a chance to become the first team in the NFC East to defend its division title since the Eagles did so from 2001 to 2004. The Eagles proceeded to win in Week 17 against the Giants, ensuring Philadelphia would be the 2019 NFC East champions, as well as ending the Cowboys' season.
Head coach Jason Garrett's contract was not renewed by Jerry Jones after expiration.[1]
