Brownlee played well and was all over the place for the Green and White and with Carter being listed as questionable, Brownlee should have a look at doing that again.<\/p>\n<p>Another takeaway?<img class=\"gnt_em_img_i\" style=\"height:440px\" fetchpriority=\"high\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/86756232007-2239410264.jpg\" data-gl- decoding=\"async\" alt=\"EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY - OCTOBER 05: Dallas Cowboys players react after a fumble recovery by Sam Williams #54 during the second quarter against the New York Jets in the game at MetLife Stadium on October 05, 2025 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
