Welcome to Week 2 of the Dallas Cowboys season.
For the first, and hopefully last, time the Cowboys are looking to bounce back from a loss. This past Sunday was a humbling experience for the Cowboys as they had an enormous amount of positivity heading into the season opener, but football is a meritocracy and the New York Giants earned the right to win that game.
This week the Cowboys will have to out work and out earn another division rival in the Washington Commanders. Like Dallas, Washington lost in Week 1 to a division rival in the Philadelphia Eagles. This means that the loser of this game is going to be sitting at 0-2 overall and within the NFC East.
Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Javonte Williams and the rest of Brian Schottenheimer’s “GOTI” offense are going to have to be more consistent if they want to change the team’s fortunes.
What’s more is that the defense is going to need more than Caleb Downs to shine. Quinnen Williams, Donovan Ezeriuaku, DaRon Bland, and specifically Christian Parker are going to have to make sure last week was an aberration.
This post will serve as our story stream for the week. All articles related to the game will cycle through.
