Dallas Cowboys vs Jacksonville Jaguars: Know Thy Enemy
The Dallas Cowboys did something we haven’t seen them really do late in the season and that was avoiding a loss in a trap game against a bad opponent. In the past, we’ve seen this team lose these games and leave us with more questions about their mental makeup.
This time around against Houston, the defense made a goal line stand, and the offense, led by Dak Prescott, was able to put together a 98-yard drive for a game-winning touchdown.
This week, the Cowboys aren’t going to have the luxury of going up against a bad defense. They’ll be facing a good Jaguars defense, and an offense that isn’t as one-dimensional as the Texans were last week.
The Cowboys can’t take this Jaguars team lightly, so let’s take a look at a few reasons why they can’t be overlooked (and how Dallas can combat them) in this week’s “Know Thy Enemy”.

🔑 Travon Walker is definitely one to watch seeing as his ankle injury is reportedly a high sprain.
