He threw for two touchdowns, did not commit any turnovers, and finished the game with an outstanding passer rating of 125.5. It is crucial to remember that these successes were achieved against the struggling New York Giants, who are currently bottom in the NFC East.
This week, Dak faces a more formidable challenge as he must guide the Cowboys’ offense against a Pittsburgh defense that ranks third in the league for fewest total yards allowed, has only four passing touchdowns against them, and boasts a passer rating allowed of 80.5, the sixth-lowest in the league.

DATING RETURNING
Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle versus Jamee Harris and Cordarelle Patterson

Mike McCarthy is currently facing a struggle in managing the role of Ezekiel Elliott. In terms of total rushing yards this season, Dowdle is now ranked 48th, while Elliott has not had much of an impact. His best effort was in Week 1, when he ran for 40 yards and a touchdown; unfortunately, he has only mustered 14 carries at an average of 0 yards since then.Najee Harris has 228 rushing yards and is presently ranked 18th among running backs. He still has not found the end zone, therefore it is important for folks to keep an eye on his injury condition on the practice report.

Though his health will be a major factor, he will be excited to take on the Cowboys run defense, which has struggled this season.
