Two weeks from tonight the Dallas Cowboys will be opening their 2025 season on the road against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. They head into the season coming off a rough 7-10 campaign where they finished 21st in points scored and an abysmal 31st in points allowed.
But it’s the start of a new era in Dallas – so to speak. Gone is Mike McCarthy after five solid but fruitless years at the helm. Replacing him is longtime NFL assistant Brian Schottenheimer, who was promoted from offensive coordinator to full head coach.

Everything else is mostly the same though and worse in some respects, which is what makes so many fans nervous about this coming season. The situation with Micah Parsons is another can of worms entirely.
Suffice it to say, Dallas needs all the help they can get this season and their cheerleaders will need to give some extra support.
Among the many Cowboys cheerleaders that will be supporting the team is Marissa Leschber, who recently got married to her longtime boyfriend Braden.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a cuter couple than these two.
The Dallas Cowboys open their 2025 season against the Eagles then get a few extra days rest before their home opener against the New York Giants at AT&T Stadium in Week 2.
