The Jaguars’ surrenders the sixth-most yards per game with 368.7 and the Cowboys have capitalized on it early. With 13 minutes left in the second quarter, Dallas has 144 yards and a double-digit lead.
Quarterback Dak Prescott took over the reins after the run game delivered the first touchdown, and he was a perfect 5-for-5 on the Cowboys’ third drive for 56 yards and forced a defensive pass interference for 17 yards to add onto the yardage. On the first play in the red zone, Prescott attacked a pass rusher in coverage with a anticipation throw to tight end Peyton Hendershot, who had the ball drop right into his hands in the end zone.

Hendershot is an undrafted free agent, but he’s made his presence felt as the third-string tight end. Jake Ferguson is inactive in Jacksonville, so Hendershot was given the opportunity and delivered. With plenty of time left in the first half, the Cowboys have a 14-0 lead and can play their own style of football.
