The former standout offensive tackle, who was an integral part of the Hogs in the 1980s, has advanced to the next round in the Seniors category for induction in Canton. He is one of 34 veterans to make it this far. The list will be pared to nine semi-finalists in about a month. Jacoby played 13 seasons for the team now called the Washington Commanders from 1981 to 1993.

The old question of "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?" could not be better to describe the Dallas Cowboys week eight matchup versus the Denver Broncos. Through seven weeks, the Cowboys offense ranks second in EPA/play, ninth in success rate, third in dropback EPA, and fifth in rush EPA. In the same time frame, the Broncos defense ranks fourth in EPA/play, first in success rate, third in dropback EPA, and 17th in rush EPA.

I look at it like this: When I'm a parent, I got three kids. They all go at a different rate in terms of - I have an expectation of what I think they should do and how I think they should mature. They don't do it at my rate, though. They do it at their own. Players have that same type of mode of operation. It's consistency, it's the standard of work that we approach it with.

Only 57 players-not linemen, players-have appeared in more games than Kenn did during his three decade-spanning career, and only five of those players are offensive linemen. He was a five-time Pro Bowler, a two-time first-team All-Pro, and a three-time second-team All-pro who started every one of the 251 games he appeared in for the Falcons, and was known for his ability to handle some of the legendary defensive ends of the 70s and 80s.

For the Cowboys, home offers both comfort and pressure. Their lone victory came at AT&T Stadium, but the offense remains shorthanded. CeeDee Lamb is out, and Dak Prescott will again lean on tight end Jake Ferguson and a rotating cast of receivers while navigating a line missing key backups Tyler Booker and Cooper Beebe.
