Dallas rode a reshaped offensive line behind Dak Prescott to a 37-22 win over the Jets, with Prescott delivering four touchdowns and calm late drives. The four-new starters on the line held up, epitomizing the next-man-up mindset. The defense throttled Justin Fields with a season-best pressure rate and forced timely turnovers, while Ryan Flournoy broke out with 6 receptions and 114 yards.

Dallas also won the turnover battle for the second straight week, underscoring complementary football. The night highlighted leadership, depth, and poise—qualities Schottenheimer said define this team as it navigates injuries and continues to build toward a deeper, more dangerous stretch run.

Dallas’ defense is trying to replace Parsons after the blockbuster trade, and the pass rush has looked thin through three games. Clowney adds veteran depth while Donovan Ezeiruaku, Dante Fowler Jr., James Houston, Marshawn Kneeland and Sam Williams share the load, but the group hasn’t delivered game-changing pressure. Parsons’ departure is magnified by the Packers’ 15 pressures in three games vs Dallas’ 19 combined from the current corps. The Cowboys may need to mine college edge talent early in the draft to sustain a playoff-grade front.

Jadeveon Clowney joined Dallas as a free agent and is wearing No. 42, setting up a Week 3 decision vs Chicago. Schottenheimer said it’s up in the air whether he’ll play; Jerry Jones said he expects him to suit up, though exact role remains unclear. Clowney has not practiced in pads yet, only doing walk-throughs since Tuesday, while Cowboys’ edge rotation remains fluid.

Dallas has totaled four sacks and nine tackles for loss without him in Weeks 1–2, with Dante Fowler leading the way at end. Donovan Ezeiruaku sits behind Fowler, and DaRon Bland’s injury status adds to defensive uncertainty. Kickoff is 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX.
