What you need to know about the Cowboys
Dallas managed to pull off a solid win over the New York Giants last Monday, winning 23-16. Nobody had a standout game offensively for Dallas, but the Cowboys got scores from WR CeeDee Lamb and RB Ezekiel Elliott. QB Cooper Rush ended up with a passer rating of 136.60.
Dallas has managed to win its last two games without Dak Prescott by being elite on the defensive end of the ball. Against the Giants in Week 3, the Cowboys recorded five sacks, led by DeMarcus Lawrence who had three. They also added an interception and held New York to 169 passing yards. For the year, the Cowboys are giving up 17.3 points and 338.3 total yards per game.
What you need to know about commanders
Meanwhile, Washington received a blow last Sunday when it fell 24-8 to the Philadelphia Eagles. Washington was down 24-0 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too hard to recover from. One thing holding the COs back was Wentz’s poor play. In addition to failing to produce a single touchdown, he fumbled the ball once with just 4.91 yards per pass attempt.
The Commanders had problems on both sides of the ball, but none were more glaring than Wentz’s below average play. The 29-year-old quarterback was sacked nine times against the Eagles in Week 3. When protected, Wentz wasn’t particularly snappy, turning the ball over four times in three games. For Washington to come away with a win, Wentz will need to return to the level of play that thrilled those around him as an MVP candidate in Philadelphia.
