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 Buffalo Bills.
Despite having won the first three games to start 3–0, the Cowboys lost 8 of the final 13 games, to finish the season 8–8. The Cowboys failed to improve on their 10–6 record from the previous season after a 26–15 loss to the Bills in Week 13 on Thanksgiving Day, and failed to tie that record with a 31–24 loss to the Chicago Bears the next week. After a Week 16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cowboys would need both a win over the Washington Redskins and an Eagles loss to the New York Giants in Week 17 to still clinch a playoff berth and a second consecutive division title. The Eagles proceeded to win in Week 17 against the Giants, ensuring Philadelphia would be the 2019 NFC East champions, meaning the Cowboys would fail to defend their division title from 2018 and miss the playoffs for the second time in three years, ending the Cowboys' season.
Head coach Jason Garrett's contract expired at the end of the season. The Cowboys chose not to renew his contract, ending Garrett's tenure in Dallas.
