3. DAK PRESCOTT AND THE PASSING GAME

The defense will need to come up with a way to slow down the Cowboys passing attack. The Cowboys will already be without Dez Bryant, but it did not matter much against the Bears, whom the Cowboys picked on with tight end Jason Witten and wide receiver Cole Beasley.

Also note how frighteningly accurate and poised quarterback Dak Prescott appears to be. Although the gifs don’t really show it, Prescott also does a great job with his pre-snap reads in directing traffic, identifying key defensive players, and audibling to the correct plays.
