The Dallas Cowboys squared off against the New York Jets, and the Defense showed why it’s the best in the NFL. Yes, the Jets were missing Aaron Rodgers, and you could see the downfall this offense has faced since the 4th play of the first game.
The Jets Defense did show up in the first half and played well on different fronts, holding the Cowboys to 18 first-half points. The Cowboys also played well on Defense except for one play where Wilson hit Garrett Wilson for a 74-yard crossing route for a touchdown, making it 18-10 at the half, but that’s all we would hear from the Jets offense.
The Dallas offense had more time (42:15) on the field than last week, beating the Giants and the Dallas Defense to a Mear (17:45) amount that most teams surpass in an average week. Dak Prescott played well, accumulating 255 passing yards and two touchdowns. Tony Pollard ran for 75 yards, and Cee Dee Lamb caught 11 balls for 143 yards. Jake Ferguson and Luke Shoemaker caught Dak’s two passing touchdowns, and then the Dallas offense could only muster four field goals in the second half against a stingy Jets Defense.
The Dallas Defense accumulated three sacks (2 by Parsons) and picked off Zach Wilson three times in the second half to keep them off the board. The Cowboys held star running back Dalvin Cook and Breece Hall to a meager 64 yards (36 from Wilson), which means that in the first two weeks of play, the Dallas Cowboys have put up 70 points while only giving up 10 points through the first week. Dallas takes on the Cardinals next Sunday, and this should be a simple task for this high-powered Dallas team.
