Terence Steele vs Josh Sweat

On the other side of the ball, one of the most intriguing battles will take place in the trenches.

Cowboys RT Terence Steele remains one of the league’s premier run blockers, but his struggles against speed rushers have been well-documented.

This week, he faces a familiar foe in Josh Sweat, the former Eagles pass rusher now wreaking havoc in a Cardinals uniform.

Sweat leads Arizona with five sacks and has rediscovered his burst off the edge. If Steele overextends or fails to anchor in pass protection, Sweat could live in the Cowboys’ backfield and make Prescott’s night miserable.

Dallas’ offensive rhythm often hinges on early-down success, and if Sweat forces constant third-and-longs, the Cowboys could find themselves stuck in the same offensive rut that doomed them in Denver.
