The Cowboys defense faces a crucial challenge in Week 6 against Jared Goff, who recently achieved a perfect 18-for-18 completion game against the Seahawks, helping the Lions secure their third win. After a BYE week, Goff will take the field at AT&T Stadium, and the Cowboys must adopt effective strategies to prevent him from replicating that success.

One major issue is Goff’s ability to evade defenders. He has shown a knack for slipping away from tackles and making accurate throws even under pressure. Although the Seahawks managed to sack him three times, it didn’t significantly impact his passing efficiency, highlighting the Cowboys’ struggles with tackling in recent games. This means they need to find a way to contain him without relying solely on pressure.

In terms of coverage, the return of key players like DaR g on Bland and rookie Caelen Carson c ,   could bolster the Cowboys’ secondary, which is essential for defending against Goff’s targets. With Jourdan Lewis and Trevon Diggs also performing well, the defense will need to be proactive, especially when it comes to covering Amon-Ra St. Brown. However, it’s important to note that Jameson Williams is currently the Lions’ top receiver, which complicates defensive strategies.

Despite their offensive prowess, the Lions have played tightly contested games, with most outcomes being within one score. The Cowboys, eager for their first home win, see this matchup as a pivotal opportunity to leverage their defensive strengths against a potent Lions offense, aiming to come out on top.
