QTNA: Can Raiders’ offense, Waller, present Cowboys problems sans Ruggs?

How will the Cowboys deal with Waller? What can the Raiders’ D do to slow down Dallas’ offense and does the AFC West have a cheat code?

The Dallas Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders both have offense problems. Over the last three games, the teams have only combined to surpass 20 points once, leading to a combined 1-5 record. The circumstances as to the malaise are decidedly different, however. The Raiders have lost their head coach and their big deep threat forever. Dallas is dealing with temporary absences due to COVID and injury.

On the opposite side of the line of scrimmage sit defenses charged with continuing the negative trends for the guys with the ball. How will it all shake out? We tapped Raiders Wire managing editor (and rumored Cowboys fan) Marcus Mosher to have a quick chat behind enemy lines about Thursday’s big game. As Dallas looks for their eighth win on the season and avoid a bona fide slump, here’s what to expect.

QTNA: Which offense will be more creative? Which Cowboys an Chiefs will step up from shadows?

The Chiefs have held the mantle of most-creative offense for a long time, will that title be turned over on Sunday? 10 questions about Week 11 with @goldmctNFL of @TheChiefsWire. | From @KDDrummondNFL

The Dallas Cowboys have come out on the better end of the equation more often than not when it comes to playing the Dallas Texans, err the Kansas City Chiefs. With a 7-4 advantage in the head-to-head battle, the organization has a special place in their hearts for the matchup. How much of that is relevant to Sunday’s tilt? Probably none at all. These are an entirely new set of players from when the teams have met in the past.

This is the first time Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott will square off, with the former becoming the gold standard for the new generation of quarterbacks. The latter has been setting the standard for 2021 though, and getting them on the same field has to have the executives at CBS Sports salivating. To help put the game in context of what a victory or loss means for each side and to glean some insight into what will contribute to the result, we gathered some assistance.

The incomparable Charles Goldman, managing editor of Chiefs Wire provided some key enemy intel ahead of the 2021 Week 11 matchup.

QTNA Week 9: Regret over Fields? Cowboys’ weaknesses? Broncos under-the-radar players

Who’s the baddest on the block now that Von Miller’s gone? Is there any regret to stealing Patrick Surtain? We go behind enemy lines with @ByJonHeath of @TheBroncosWire to learn more.

The Dallas Cowboys are big favorites entering Week 9, but should they be? All signs point to yes. For one, the Denver Broncos have lost four of their last five games, and Dallas is returning home after two road games bookended the bye week. The Cowboys have outscored their opponents 121-69 at AT&T Stadium, a fittingly nice scoring margin for a team averaging over 40 points a home contest.

Still, the Broncos have enjoyed a steady edge over the Cowboys in recent years, so a win isn’t preordained. While the teams only match up once every four years, it’s easy to lose track of where each franchise is if not paying close attention. To help out with that, Jon Heath, managing editor of Broncos Wire sat down to provide answers to a few questions that need answers. In exchange, Cowboys Wire offered some enemy intel in return.

QTNA: Who are these Patriots and what should Cowboys be concerned with in Week 6?

Is Mac his completion % or his YPA? What’s different about Dak, Kellen and McCarthy in 2021? What should Dallas worry about in Belichick’s bag? Who’s gonna piss off Pats fans the most? Q&A with @Patriots_Wire

The Dallas Cowboys square off against the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon in a quest to extend their winning streak to five games. The Cowboys return to the road fir the first time since mid-September and unlike their last trip to Foxboro the weather is projected to be glorious for football.

Dallas hasn’t beaten Bill Belichick in a long time, but the matchup seems to indicate the Cowboys are the better team, they’ll just have to go out and prove it. These aren’t your older brother’s Patriots anymore. To help understand exactly what Dallas will be walking into, Cowboys Wire reached out to Patriots Wire’s managing editor Henry McKenna to lend some insight into what New England is bringing to the table. In the latest installment of our QTNA series, we go behind enemy lines with questions for each other.
