Overview

  • The Cowboys beat the Jets 37-22 despite playing without CeeDee Lamb and four starting offensive linemen, producing 416 yards behind Javonte Williams’ 135 rushing yards and Ryan Flournoy’s 114 receiving yards.
  • Dak Prescott has opened the season with MVP-level efficiency, totaling 1,356 yards, 10 touchdowns and a 101.1 passer rating as Dallas averages 30.2 points per game with a top-10 rushing attack.
  • Jerry Jones credited Brian Schottenheimer’s staff as the overriding reason for the Jets win, as a patchwork offensive line allowed just one sack with young tackle Nate Thomas logging every snap.
  • After early-season struggles, Dallas generated five sacks and sustained pressure against New York, signaling progress for Matt Eberflus’ defense that still seeks week-to-week consistency.
  • Tight end Jake Ferguson has rebounded from a down 2024 to lead all NFL tight ends with 41 receptions through five games, reinforcing Schottenheimer’s assertion that last year was a fluke.
