"The Cowboys looked bad on both sides of the ball for far too much of the game against the Cardinals. As exciting as some of their new trade acquisitions and injury returnees are for the outlook post-bye on defense, the Cowboys offense and team as a whole really needs to re-establish their core players as ones they can consistently count on starting at the Raiders."
"Brian Schottenheimer's team does not have much benefit of the doubt left at their disposal when it comes to confidently winning games they "should" win. Although they are better statistically compared to the Raiders, the records say the Cowboys have just one more win at 3-5-1 compared to 2-7 for Pete Carroll's team. Carroll has also won four of his last six games against the Cowboys, all with the Seahawks."
The Cowboys come off a bye after a Week 9 home loss to the Cardinals and now host the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. Both teams enter with extra rest; the Cowboys struggled on both offense and defense against Arizona while the Raiders scored just seven points in a 10-7 loss to the Broncos. New defensive additions and injury returns offer hope, but the offense must re-establish reliable starting players to pick up consistent production. Brian Schottenheimer's unit lacks margin for error despite statistical edges, while Pete Carroll's Raiders seek legitimacy and will target a primetime statement win.
