There is no denying it. 2025 is the year of Jake Ferguson.
The Dallas Cowboys gave their tight end an extension while back in training camp this summer and look like absolute geniuses for doing so. Ferguson is having the best season of his career to date and Sunday’s win against Washington was a great example as he hauled in two touchdowns.
This was the second one which basically put the game on ice midway through the third quarter.
Ferguson’s second touchdown gave him six on the season which is good for a career high. Ferguson had a pair of scores during his rookie season of 2022, and had five the next year when everything was working for Dallas in 2023.
With Ferguson having six touchdowns through only seven games this season, he only needs one more score to match his career total prior to this season. Once more, the Cowboys deserve a lot of credit for extending him when they did. Doing so also serves as an argument how extending players in the earliest window of negotiation, when Dallas got Ferguson done, can look smart if the players continue to perform well.
