Dallas is absolutely rolling against Washington right now, already up 17-3 with 9:55 left in the first half. After getting stung last week, the Cowboys offense is firing on all cylinders and putting on a show for their home opener.
Prescott and the Offense Are Absolutely Dealing
Talk about a bounce-back! Dak Prescott has been sharp, completing 14 of 17 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. This isn’t just about the stats, it’s about how efficient they’ve been. The Cowboys have had just three possessions so far this Sunday, and they’ve punched in 17 points. That’s a serious conversion rate!
CeeDee Lamb is having a monster start, already pulling in five catches for 89 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown from Prescott. Tight end Dalton Schultz also got in on the action with a 10-yard TD grab. They’re outgaining the Commanders 175 yards to 102, and it feels like the offense is out to prove a point after that upset loss to the Giants. They don’t want to ruin this home opener, not one bit.
Early Season Bumps and Bruises
It’s not all sunshine and touchdowns though. The Cowboys are already dealing with some injury hits. Linebacker Dee Winters is questionable to return with a shoulder injury, and Shemar James has stepped in to replace him. Plus, they were already without DeMarvion Overshown, who’s got a strained right hamstring. You never want to see key guys sidelined, especially this early in the season. Depth is going to be huge as the weeks roll on.
There’s still a ton of football left to play, but this is exactly the kind of start Dallas needed to wipe away the memory of last week. Can they keep this momentum roaring into the second half and really solidify this win? You’ve gotta think they’re looking to put a statement win on the board today.
