Overview
- The game is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 20 at AT&T Stadium and will air regionally on Fox with streaming available on fubo and reportedly on DIRECTV.
- Both teams enter 0-1 so the winner avoids an 0-2 start and gains early divisional leverage in a tightly contested NFC East.
- Dallas's new-look defense allowed 394 yards in Week 1 and showed little consistent pressure, placing first-year coordinator Christian Parker under immediate scrutiny.
- Washington showed late-game promise in Week 1 as Jayden Daniels improved through the contest and the defense made a respectable showing, though the offensive line faces questions after the loss of Laremy Tunsil.
- Early betting markets list Dallas near a 3.5-point favorite and many analysts favor the Cowboys to bounce back, with commentators warning that a loss would complicate each team's tougher schedule ahead.
