  • Dallas lost to the Giants 28-20 in Week 1 and will host Washington (who lost to Philadelphia 24-22) in a bid for redemption in NFC East play.
  • The Cowboys dominated the Commanders in recent years (5 of last 6 meetings) and are favored, but must fix offensive line issues and defensive breakdowns from Week 1.
  • Prescott emphasized staying the course while the team leans on receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens to spark offensive production against Washington's secondary.

“This one feels pretty bad just because, at the end of the day, we just didn't perform the way we're capable of playing.”
