2. Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye will give the Cowboys receivers a long day

More from The Landry Hat

The Jaguars clear strength of their team is their defense, and their duo of cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye may be the best tandem in the NFL.

Both corners were Pro Bowlers last season, and Ramsey was a First Team All-Pro selection and is touted as the best cornerback in the entire league.

Neither player has an interception this season, but it is mostly because teams have just not tried them very much in the passing game, especially Ramsey.

The Dallas wide receiving core is one of the weakest position groups on the team, and it will be a struggle for them to get any production against one of the top secondary in the league Sunday.

With these two corners manning it down on the outside, look for the Cowboys to try to get the running game going and attack Jacksonville with play action and deception to try to get their receivers open.
