"While this matchup is worth monitoring, the one between Dak Prescott and Denver's pass rush could be more important. The Broncos are the best pass rushing unit in the league right now. They lead the NFL in sacks (34), QB hits (65), QB pressures (125), and QB pressure percentage (47.2). Keeping Prescott clean an upright in the pocket could be paramount to success in Week 8."
"He now returns to face his former team as the NFL's second-leading rusher with 592 rushing yards and has scored seven total touchdowns. The RB replacing him, J.K. Dobbins in Denver, is currently seventh in the league in rushing with 523 yards. This may not be a direct head-to-head matchup, but the team with the better rushing attack Sunday afternoon could be the one to walk away with the "W"."
"If there is a matchup Matt Eberflus should exploit in Week 8, it's the one between the Osa Odighizuwa and Alex Placzewski. While Odighizuwa is off to somewhat of a slow start this season with just one QB sack on the year, there's a chance he could be a difference-maker this week against the Broncos. Placzewski will be replacing starting LG Ben Powers this week and he could be the weak link to one of the best pass blocking OLs in the league."
The Dallas Cowboys travel to Denver with both teams seeking consecutive wins. The matchup of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens versus Patrick Surtain and Riley Moss is highlighted as a high-impact receiver-versus-cornerback battle. Denver's pass rush leads the NFL in sacks, QB hits, pressures, and pressure percentage, making protection for Dak Prescott essential. Javonte Williams returns to Denver as the Cowboys' second-leading rusher, while J.K. Dobbins ranks seventh in rushing for the Broncos, making the rushing attack matchup pivotal. Osa Odighizuwa potentially facing Alex Placzewski could expose Denver's offensive line if Odighizuwa consistently wins those reps.
