What happened the last time Justin Fields played the Dallas Cowboys?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields has an opportunity to even his record versus the Dallas Cowboys.

Justin Fields is a different kind of quarterback with the Pittsburgh Steelers than he was with the Chicago Bears — that’s clear.

Though Fields is 0-1 versus the Dallas Cowboys, it’s anybody’s guess how he’ll perform tonight. Fumbles aside, if Fields plays like he has been in Pittsburgh, the matchup should be competitive.

Speaking of fumbles…

The last time Fields took on the NFC rival Cowboys in Week 8 of 2022, the Bears were down 35-24. Driving midway through the third quarter, a pass from Fields to running back David Montgomery was coughed up, recovered, and returned for a 36-yard touchdown by linebacker Micah Parsons.

And just like that, what could’ve been a one-score game became a 19-point  deficit from which the Bears would never recover.

Parsons is out for tonight’s showdown at Acrisure Stadium — and hopefully so are Steelers fumbles.

Fields finished the Bears-Cowboys game with a 120.0 passer rating after going 17-for-23 and scoring three total touchdowns (one rushing).

Experts split on Steelers vs Cowboys

This week’s game between the Steelers and Cowboys is just about too close to call.

Despite their rich history in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys haven’t squared off that often in the regular season. So this week’s Sunday Night Football showdown promises to be a great one.

The Steelers currently sit at 3-1 and are hoping to bounce back after being handed their first loss of the season against the Indianapolis Colts. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys are 2-2 and are hoping to win a second game in a row.

On paper these two teams are fairly close. Both teams are dealing with injuries at key spots and trying to keep pace with the rest of their division foes.

NFL pundits and experts are just as torn on this week’s matchup as anyone as proven by this week’s expert picks. NFL Pick Watch. They aggregate expert picks from all over the internet and put them into one place.

This week the experts are leaning toward the Steelers but only slightly. 52 percent of the pundits are going with Pittsburgh but 48 percent are picking Dallas. It can’t get much closer than that.

As far as our prediction, we are picking the Steelers to rally after their first loss and pick up a huge road with over the Cowboys. Steelers 24, Cowboys 17

Steelers injury update: Starting guard non-committal on status vs Cowboys

Isaac Seumalo isn’t sure if he’s playing Sunday night or not against the Cowboys.

Last week the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line was dealt a serious blow when starting guard James Daniels was lost for the season with a torn Achilles. However, the hope was this week the team would get fellow starting guard Isaac Seumalo back after missing the first four games of the season to help bolster the offensive line against the Dallas Cowboys.

But when Seumalo spoke to the media on Friday, he wasn’t ready to declare himself playing this Sunday and instead left it up to head coach Mike Tomlin to make that call.

“Yeah, I feel pretty good,” Seumalo said. “I’ll let Coach Tomlin decide on that, but I felt good the past couple days.”

This doesn’t sound like a guy who is 100 percent and ready to roll. Seumalo has been dealing with a pectoral injury and it isn’t the type of injury you rush back from. We won’t be at all surprised if Tomlin opts to give him one more week of rest.

This would mean that rookie Mason McCormick would slide over from the left to the right to replace Daniels and Spencer Anderson would plug into Seumalo’s starting spot at left guard.

It’s a mix of good and bad news for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first injury report of Dallas Cowboys week, but the keyword is first — practice participation can change between now and Friday for Jaylen Warren, Nick Herbig, MyCole Pruitt and Cordarrelle Patterson.

It’s a different story for Alex Highsmith. Though game status isn’t officially reported until Friday, Mike Tomlin has already ruled out their fourth-year pass-rusher.

Steelers add yet another RB to the practice squad in response to injuries

The Steelers running back situation isn’t looking great heading into Sunday’s game with the Cowboys.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are only a month into the season but the injuries are already starting to mount. In particular, the Steelers have become incredibly thin at running back over a very short period of time.

When the Steelers take on the Dallas Cowboys this week, there’s a real possibility that both Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson will be out or at the very least limited. In response, the Steelers brought back a running back they had on their offseason roster in La’Mical Perine and added him back to the practice squad.

This gives the Steelers several options this week against the Cowboys to back up Najee Harris. Last week the Steelers called up Aaron Shampklin to the 53-man roster as the team’s third back but we expect it to come down to Perine and Jonathan Ward and it could be both guys on the gameday roster by the time Sunday gets here.

Steelers have ‘real shot’ to get key offensive lineman back for Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers guard Isaac Seumalo could be back in action for Dallas Cowboys matchup.

The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ offensive line has been decimated by injuries since Week 1, but they could get a key contributor back just in time to take on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.

Right guard Isaac Seumalo, who’s missed the first four games of the season with a pectoral strain, is getting closer to returning to the lineup.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin had this to say in Tuesday’s press conference about the veteran lineman:

I’m excited about the potential of having Isaac back in the offensive line, especially given some of the attrition that’s happened there in recent weeks. He was close last week. I think it’s reasonable to assume that he’s got a real shot to make it this time around.

Three O-line starters are done for the season: Center Nate Herbig (torn rotator cuff), tackle Troy Fautanu (knee) and left guard James Daniels (knee).

Mike Tomlin ‘painting barn red’ with Cowboys DE Micah Parsons

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is preparing his team to potentially face Dallas Cowboys’ Micah Parsons in Week 5.

As the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line goes, so does the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive line. Dallas will likely be without edge rushers DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) and Micah Parsons (ankle) on Sunday night.

Parsons has not missed a game due to injury at any level of football, only one game in 2021 because of COVID.

According to ESPN’s Todd Archer, Parsons was donning a protective boot and using a scooter to get around the facility on Monday after being injured late in Thursday’s win against the New York Giants. An MRI confirmed the high ankle sprain.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is preparing to play without both Lawrence and Parsons, but Mike Tomlin has a different perspective:

I use the phrase all the time: If you have red paint, you paint your bar red. With those dynamic edge people like Lawrence and maybe even Parsons out, we better get ready for a lot of schematic pressure from him, but we better also prepare for the likes of Parsons. A guy like is not normal in any circumstances, so we better be prepared if he shows up in-stadium to work and minimize him and how they move him around and his unique talents, particularly in one-dimensional passing moments.

If Parsons has his way, you better believe he’ll take the field at Acrisure on Sunday night.

“When you’re a real competitor, you only get 17 chances at this,” Parsons said. “And missing one of these opportunities to perform at the highest level bothers me. I feel like I want to play on Sunday. If I can play, I will play, you know. To me, as long as I can run and move how I move, I want to play.”

The chances of Parsons suiting up are slim to none. If by some miracle he does, he’ll be extremely limited.
