Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys expected to see old nemesis Aaron Rodgers with the New York Jets in their home opener.
LAST MEETING: Jets beat Cowboys 24-22 on Oct. 13, 2019, in New York.JETS OFFENSE: OVERALL , RUSH , PASS , SCORING COWBOYS DEFENSE: OVERALL , RUSH , PASS , SCORING Aaron Rodgers out for the season
COWBOYS PLAYER TO WATCH: RB Tony Pollard. Just like QB Dak Prescott and the rest of his offensive teammates, Pollard didn’t have to do much in his first game as the lead back after Dallas dumped Ezekiel Elliott in a cost-cutting move. The Cowboys had touchdowns on special teams and defense before the offense got in the end zone for the first time to go up 26-0 on the Giants before halftime. Pollard was solid with 70 yards on 15 carries and two touchdowns.
KEY INJURIES: Other than Rodgers, the Jets are relatively healthy. LT Duane Brown , RT Mekhi Becton and RB Breece Hall were all limited early in the week, as they were last week, but all are expected to play. For the Cowboys, LG Tyler Smith , S Donovan Wilson and CB Jourdan Lewis should be close after missing the opener. WR Brandin Cooks was added to the injury report this week with a knee issue. Coach Mike McCarthy says he “has a chance” to play.
