"Dallas' offense has been among the best in the league, even without star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and KaVontae Turpin. Both were returning to the lineup. It was a dangerous situation for Washington because Joe Whitt Jr.'s defense has been prone to giving up big plays. Against Dallas, it seemed likely that they would be without their best defensive lineman, Dorance Armstrong Jr."
"Through the first six weeks of the season, the Cowboys' defense had been bad. Very bad. Dead last in yards allowed. Second to last in points allowed. Third to last in yards per play. You get the picture. Rushing yards, turnovers forced, penalties, sacks - in the bottom quarter of the league in almost every primary defensive statistic. Commanders offensive line could take advantage of a favorable matchup against the Cowboys"
Washington faced a tough Week 7 road test in Dallas on short rest as the Cowboys had their top receivers returning. Washington's defense had been prone to giving up big plays, and the defense seemed likely to be without its best defensive lineman, Dorance Armstrong Jr. Jayden Daniels would play without his top three wide receivers, pushing the team toward a run-heavy strategy. Washington entered the game with the league's top rushing offense, aided by Jacory Croskey-Merritt, hard-running backups, Daniels' scrambling, and the return of Sam Cosmi. The plan was to dominate the line, control the clock, and keep Dallas' offense off the field. Unfortunately, the Cowboys' front seven controlled most of the game.
