3 Cowboys players to watch in Week 10 against the Packers
1. Dak Prescott, QB
As bad as the Packers have been this season, their passing defense has really been lock-down. They haven’t given up one 300-yard passer and have allowed just 10 passing touchdowns this season.
Tom Brady threw for 271 yards and one touchdown in Week 3, MVP-favorite Josh Allen threw for 218 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in Week 8, and Kirk Cousins threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1.
So, this matchup for Prescott against this Packers’ secondary is a nice test for him and his biggest since his return from the thumb injury. In his two games back, he has played two bottom-10 defenses in the Lions and the Bears.
Can Prescott attack the Packers’ secondary led by Jaire Alexander? Can the Cowboys score 30+ points against this defense? Will Prescott be able to move this offense down the field?
The last time the Cowboys saw Prescott against a solid defense this season was Week 1 when he was inefficient as a passer. He threw for just 134 yards and one interception against the Buccaneers.
This will be a game that Dallas would love to see Prescott dominate from the start. It’s a big test against a solid defense and that’s why the six-year quarterback is someone that we should watch closely in Week 10.
