Who is the Guy?
Dak Prescott is playing at a Pro Bowl level despite the Cowboys' disappointing record. The 10-year pro is completing nearly 70 percent of his passes, with 17 touchdowns and six interceptions. With the veteran averaging 257.7 pass yards per game, tossing to CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Jake Ferguson, the Raiders must be prepared to defend Prescott and the Cowboys' aerial circus on Monday night.
Know His Name
CeeDee Lamb is the latest member of the "88 Club" to dominate as a pass catcher on the perimeter. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder is a freak athlete with outstanding ball skills and running ability. Lamb's ability to win on "catch-and-run" concepts and isolation routes will challenge the Raiders to make tough tackles in space. Given his big play potential as a No. 1 receiver, Lamb's whereabouts must be accounted for at all times.
Don't Sleep On…
The Cowboys' running game has been a pleasant surprise with Javonte Williams emerging as a potential 1,000-yard back. The fifth-year pro has a pair of 100-yard games on the ledger, while averaging 79.6 rush yards per game. With Williams flashing a nice blend of strength, power and explosiveness running between the tackles, the Cowboys are not afraid to play a little "Bully Ball" to seize control of the game in the second half.
