Reason for Concern for Prescott: When facing the defending Super Bowl Champions, the excitement and pressure certainly rise. The Cowboys will want to show they are a formidable opponent against a team that many see going back to the Super Bowl again in 2022.

Prescott will look to prove he’s a top-tier quarterback in the league by leading his team to a high-profile victory. But before he can do that, his teammates need to deal with their biggest concern, and that’s big man Aaron Donald. Much like Vita Vea, Donald will test the interior of the Cowboys’ offensive line, especially young and inexperienced guys like Smith and Biadasz.

Much like they would against the Buccaneers, this coaching staff will need to figure out a way to slow down Donald and give Prescott a chance to keep them in the game. With the amount of talent the Rams have on the offensive side of the football, Dallas can’t afford to fall behind quickly, because that will give way to more chances for Donald to make his impression on the game and rattle Prescott.
