That\u2019s the type of first-half you should expect from the Cowboys\u2019 offense, one of the NFL\u2019s best, against that Commanders\u2019 defense, one of the league\u2019s worst. And without Jayden Daniels on the field, Washington doesn\u2019t have much of an answer. The Cowboys scored three touchdowns on their first three possessions. They already have 289 total yards and have converted on all four fourth-down attempts. As bad as Dallas\u2019 defense has been this season, even they have some answers against a Josh Johnson-led offense. Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer was asked on the Netflix broadcast about being aggressive offensively in the first half. \u201cWe trust our guys,\u201d he said. \u201cWe trust Dak (Prescott). We got playmakers everywhere. That’s the way we\u2019re gonna play the rest of the year.”<\/p>\n
