Cowboys Nation is already writing the headlines for Week 1 of the 2023 season. The Dallas Cowboys get an opening week victory over the New York Giants just like they have 10 of the last 11 times they opened the season against this rival. Dak Prescott owns the NFC East, including 10 straight over New York, but this year, things could change.
Two seasons ago, the Philadelphia Eagles snuck into the playoffs with a record of 9-8. They were wiped out in the playoffs and looked like they didn’t belong, with the main question being about their young QB. The team added a few pieces, created an offense around their young QB, and went to the Super Bowl the following season.
Daniel Jones is similar to Jalen Hurts from 2021. Both had good mobility, but question marks as a passer. The team brought in a top-tier pass catcher in Darren Waller and drafted deep-threat receiver Jalin Hyatt, to take the top off opposing defenses. They have possibly the best four-person defensive line in the league and a young, skilled defensive back group that will look to make plays, knowing their pass rush is going after opposing quarterbacks.
Dallas must be prepared for a well-coached, talented team who is tired of hearing how the Cowboys and Prescott own them. Here is what the Cowboys need to worry about to avoid an upset loss in Week 1.
