Prescott, Cowboys tasked with avoiding letdown of no Rodgers in home opener against Wilson, Jets

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys expected to see old nemesis Aaron Rodgers with the New York Jets in their home opener.

“But to say it diminishes an NFL game would be wild of me, especially understanding how great this defense is,” said Prescott, whose 2020 season ended in Week 5 with a gruesome ankle injury. “Watch the way that they won that game the other night. They’ve got our respect and haven’t lost any bit of that.”

Now New York faces the reality of diminished Super Bowl expectations in a season without Rodgers, while looking for the franchise’s first 2-0 start in eight years. The rookie wide receiver had a terrific summer on the field and was a featured star on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” “The rain did what the rain does,” Dallas receiver CeeDee Lamb said. “But now we’re home in a dome, so it can rain if it wants.”Breece Hall and Dalvin Cook provided an early glimpse of how productive they might be as a 1-2 punch out of the backfield for the Jets.
