"The Cowboys expect to have both DaRon Bland and Trevon Diggs back together as their tandem at cornerback in this matchup. The time is now to use a defense getting closer to full strength, also expecting Jadeveon Clowney to make his team debut against the Packers, to actually play to the strengths of their personnel and give the Cowboys offense a chance to stay balanced in this game."
"The Packers scored on every one of their second half possessions in this game, and then answered a Brandon Aubrey field goal in overtime with one of their own to end the game in a confounding tie. With all three of Jordan Love's touchdown passes going to top receiver Romeo Doubs, a similar type of shifty route runner and speedster to other receivers that have given Matt Eberflus' defense consistent trouble, the Cowboys have made strides since this point to at least take away the first option"
Dallas faces the Las Vegas Raiders after the bye; a loss would be a third straight and two consecutive Monday Night Football defeats, while a win preserves shrinking playoff hopes. The team reviewed losses to the Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals and the week four tie with the Green Bay Packers. Cornerbacks DaRon Bland and Trevon Diggs are expected to play together, and Jadeveon Clowney may debut, offering defensive reinforcements to help balance the offense. The Packers scored on every second-half possession and finished a confounding overtime tie; opponents' speedier route runners have exposed coverage issues despite defensive progress.
