Cowboys Point/Counterpoint: Defensive woes sending season to the brink of despair
"Every team in the NFC East has at least two losses, so from a standings viewpoint, Dallas is right there in the thick of things. The next game is against the Washington Commanders, and a win against the team that just dropped a close one to the Chicago Bears would certainly make us all feel better. The Cowboys certainly have the offense as they lead the league in yards per game and are third in points scored."
"Now for the bad news: You don't get to 2-3-1 with that kind of offensive output unless your defense is epically putrid. Each week, they seem to either make the opposing QB look like Tom Brady with a stronger arm, or the lead back is racking up yards like Adrian Peterson in his prime. Unless they can fix things, they are destined for another dismal finish."
Dak Prescott is playing at an MVP level and the Cowboys lead the league in yards per game while ranking third in points scored, producing elite offensive output. The defense reverted to its worst form, costing a win and repeatedly allowing opposing quarterbacks or running backs to dominate. Every team in the NFC East has at least two losses, leaving Dallas competitively positioned with a winnable upcoming game against the Washington Commanders. Concerns exist about lacking players to win at the line of scrimmage; draft picks acquired for Micah Parsons may help long-term but provide no immediate solution.
