Dallas Cowboys (1-2-1) vs. New York Jets (0-4-0):
Micah Parson's homecoming to Dallas for Sunday Night Football was spoiled by an unsatisfying tie against his former team. The difference maker between a Packers' win and a tie was the two-point blocked punt returned 80 yards for a touchdown by Cowboys' safety Marquise Bell.
Both quarterbacks put up nearly identical games; Green Bay's Jordan Love notched a 72.1% pass completion for 337 yards and three touchdowns, while Dallas' Dak Prescott put up a 77.5% pass completion for 319 yards and three touchdowns. Prescott leads the league in completions (121), passing yards (1,119) and pass attempts (166) this season.
The Cowboys played without top receiving threat CeeDee Lamb, who will be sidelined again for Week 5 with a high ankle sprain. Wide receiver George Pickens, who the team picked up in the offseason from the Pittsburgh Steelers, has become the default pass receiver for Dallas, finishing with 134 yards and two touchdowns.
Despite the Week 4 road loss to the Dolphins, the Jets rushed for a season-high 197 yards led by running back Breece Hall's 14 carries for 81 yards. Quarterback Justin Fields had a 74.1% passer rating for 226 yards and one touchdown. Fields, who returned from a concussion, helped the team with his legs as well averaging 11.6 yards per carry.
The Jets No. 20-overall defense has a tough task shutting down Pickens, and taking away the run game. What hurts the Cowboys the most, however, is their defense. Dallas' defense is currently ranked last in the NFL overall, allowing an average of 420.5 yards and 16 touchdowns. It was tough for them to get the Packers off the field, stopping Green Bay on third downs just four times out of 11 (36.4%). That being said, the Jets rank No. 29 in third down offense converting just 31.1% of attempts through Week 4.
