Cowboys Win, Yet Run Defense Remains Weak Link
23 Sep
Summary
- Dak Prescott leads Cowboys with strong passing stats.
- Special teams showed significant improvement in Week 2.
- Dallas's run defense continues to struggle significantly.
The Dallas Cowboys achieved a vital home-opening win in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Quarterback Dak Prescott delivered a stellar performance, bolstering his status as statistically the best quarterback in Cowboys history, holding records for passing yards and touchdowns. The team's special teams also saw a marked improvement under Nick Sorensen, with exceptional kick returns and accurate field goal kicking, including a 60-yard success.
Despite these positives, the Cowboys' run defense continues to be a glaring weakness. The team conceded a high volume of rushing yards, maintaining a poor ranking in this defensive category. This defensive deficiency persists despite front office investments aimed at strengthening the run stopping capabilities, leaving the team vulnerable in this area.
