"After his dynamic Cowboys debut against the Raiders, Williams hasn't been as splashy in the last three games. He's still made a tremendous impact overall, helping Dallas beat the Eagles and Chiefs, but it's clear opponents are focusing on stopping Williams from being a big-play terror. Unfortunately for Minnesota, they may not have the tools to neutralize him. The Vikings have given up 13 sacks in their last three games."
"Even in last week's 31-0 shutout win over the Commanders, J.J. McCarthy was sacked four times. Minnesota's pass protection has been just as leaky inside as on the edges, so it could be Williams' best opportunity to wreak havoc since the Vegas game. And if Minnesota does focus on stopping him, that should mean good things for Dallas' other pass rushers."
"Additionally, the Vikings rank just 24th in the league for total rushing offense. They tend to fall behind and abandon the run, which is good since they average a solid 4.6 yards per carry. As long as Dallas' offense doesn't take too long to get going, it can help Williams and the defense by forcing Minnesota away from the ground game."
Javonte Williams showed a dynamic debut but has been less splashy in recent games as opponents focus on limiting his big plays. Minnesota's pass protection has been porous, surrendering 13 sacks over three games and allowing multiple takedowns even in a shutout win. The Vikings rank 24th in total rushing offense yet average 4.6 yards per carry when they run, often abandoning the ground game when behind. Running backs have produced consistently against Minnesota, and feeding Williams could yield a strong performance while helping Dallas mitigate its own pass protection issues.
