This season has been a tale of two teams for the Dallas Cowboys.
Their defense has been awful, ranking near the bottom of the NFL in several stats.
The offense, on the other hand, has been elite.
First-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer is making quarterback Dak Prescott look like an MVP candidate again, and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb recently made a bold claim about his side of the ball.
“This one is the best [offenses] I’ve been on, and I’ve been on some great ones,” Lamb said. “It’s just the way that we can move around these pieces, these players, and everybody everywhere. We can line up faster than any. It’s tough.”
New running back Javonte Williams is breaking tackles and piling up yards like he did at times with the Denver Broncos.
As for the passing game, everybody’s getting targets, including newcomer George Pickens, who helped it remain explosive while Lamb was sidelined with an ankle injury.
Of course, they also have needed to respond as their defense can’t keep opposing teams out of the end zone, which should be a point of emphasis for Dallas going forward.
Also, if history has taught us something, it is that Prescott has struggled in bigger games, so as good as he’s looked this season, he still needs to prove himself in high-stakes situations and against high-end competition.
He will get a test in that regard when Dallas visits the Denver Broncos in Week 8.
