The Dallas Cowboys look to avoid back-to-back losses after falling 28-24 against the Vikings last weekend. Dak Prescott threw for 397 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Amari Cooper and Randall Cobb both tallied over 100 yards receiving and a touchdown. However, the running game and Ezekiel Elliott struggled. Elliott carried the ball 20 times for just 47 yards. The Cowboys are the No. 1 offense in the NFL (437.4 YPG), third in passing (299.2 YPG), and fifth in rushing (139.2 YPG). No matter how you put it, the Cowboys can put up points and will be tough for any defense to stop.
While Elliott struggled, Dalvin Cook was a difference-maker in the game. Cook made a fool of the Cowboys defense with 183 total yards of offense. Minnesota also managed to convert 57 percent of its first downs and a total of 364 yards in the game. Linebackers Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch are playmakers in the middle and tallied 13 tackles each on Sunday during Sunday night’s game. The Cowboys are a top 10 defense in points allowed, total yards allowed and passing yards allowed, but are in the middle of the pack when it comes to stopping the run.
Detroit has lost its last two games, including last weekend’s 20-13 defeat in Chicago. Jeff Driskel filled in at quarterback for the injured Matt Stafford (back) and completed 27 of 46 passes for 269 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Driskel, who will make another start this weekend also added 37 yards rushing. Marvin Jones led the team with five catches for 77 yards. Driskel is no Stafford, but the team’s game plan will still rely heavily on airing it out, where they are averaging 291.2 YPG.
The defensive unit had four sacks on Bears’ quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who was 16 of 23 for 173 yards and three touchdowns. Tavon Wilson and Tre Flowers each had seven tackles and one interception. Detroit is ranked 30th out of 32 teams in total yards allowed (402.1) and that doesn’t bode well against the league’s best offense. All-Pro cornerback Darius Slay will have the tough task of defending Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper.
