3. More consistency from non-CeeDee Lamb WRs

Anyone else starting to trust TY Hilton more than any other non-CeeDee Lamb Cowboys receiver?

With all due respect to Michael Gallup, who’s come up with the occasional touchdown and highlight-reel catch in 2022, he’s really struggling getting separation following ACL surgery. It’s duly noted Gallup tore his ACL in January, but Dak Prescott needs him to be a more reliable outlet going into the playoffs.

Thursday’s win marked Gallup’s fifth-straight game with fewer than 50 receiving yards. He has three TDs during that stretch, but just one in the last four games. And in four of those fixtures, he’s managed less than 40 receiving yards.

Whether it’s Gallup, Hilton, or Noah Brown (unlikely after his two-drop performance against Tennessee), the Cowboys need someone to take the pressure off CeeDee Lamb, who’s caught 28 of 32 targets for 346 yards and two TDS in the last three games. Dak’s passer rating when targeting CeeDee during that stretch? 132.6

Those numbers are mind-boggling, and it’s great to see Lamb become a true No. 1 before our very eyes, but Dallas will be hard-pressed to march through the postseason if the Pro Bowler doesn’t get more help.

All signs point to that coming in the form of TY Hilton, who built on his clutch debut with four catches for 50 yards against the Titans. Three of those grabs moved the chains, and two moved the chains on third down.
