The Dallas Cowboys continue the new tradition of revolving captainship. Under new head coach Mike McCarthy, season-long captains are a thing of the past and every week for every game, a new set of designated leaders has emerged.
For Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks, two long-time members of the team and one newcomer get the honor. Six-time Pro Bowler Zack Martin gets the honor for the offensive side of the ball. Special teams linebacker Justin March will lead that unit, and free agent signing Aldon Smith will captain the defense.

Smith has one of the Cowboys two sacks this season, as the pass rush tries to get itself untracked against the Seahawks front. Meanwhile Martin has been having a less-than-normal year as he adjusts to not having either Travis Frederick or La’el Collins flanking him. The Cowboys’ special teams played a huge role in Week 2 as the club tried (and failed) two fake punts, then turned around and recovered an onside kick before a game-winning field goal.
