Key Player Matchups
Dak Prescott (DAL) vs. Jets Secondary: Prescott leads the NFL in passing yards (1,119) and completions, but faces Sauce Gardner and a Jets defense that thrives on turnovers.
George Pickens (DAL) vs. Sauce Gardner (NYJ): Pickens has 300 yards and 4 TDs; Gardner needs a bounce‑back game after struggling vs. Miami.
Justin Fields (NYJ) vs. Cowboys Front Seven: Fields’ dual‑threat ability (81 rushing yards last week) could exploit Dallas’ 31st‑ranked defense.
Breece Hall (NYJ) vs. Cowboys Run Defense: Hall and the Jets’ O‑line gashed Miami for 197 rushing yards; Dallas allows 123.3 rush YPG.
Quinnen Williams (NYJ) vs. Cowboys Interior OL: With both starting tackles out, Williams could collapse the pocket and disrupt Prescott’s timing.
