The Dallas Cowboys’ defense is in for a challenging matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers’ surging offense on Sunday night.
RUSHING DEFENSE PUT TO THE TEST
Dallas’s rushing defense, although stout, will face a stern test. The Steelers’ ground game has been impressive, ranking second in yards per carry. Meanwhile, the Cowboys’ own rushing attack has struggled against mediocre defenses.
STEELERS’ PASSING ATTACK POSES THREAT
Pittsburgh’s aerial assault has been clicking, with 557 passing yards over the last two games. Quarterback Kenny Pickett has developed a strong connection with wide receiver George Pickens, who’s been consistent all season and exploded for 113 yards last week.
COWBOYS’ SECONDARY FACES ADVERSITY
Dallas’s pass-rushing capabilities will be hindered without Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence. Additionally, health concerns surrounding Trevon Diggs and Caelen Carson will further strain the Cowboys’ secondary.
SUNDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN LOOMS LARGE
With the Steelers’ offense firing on all cylinders, the pressure mounts on Dallas’s defense. Can the Cowboys contain Pittsburgh’s dynamic attack, or will the Steelers’ momentum prove too much to handle? The stage is set for an intriguing Sunday night showdown.
