Cowboys vs. Ravens: Dallas Has One Clear Path to an Upset
Episode notes
The Cowboys head into Baltimore as 3.5-point underdogs, and the biggest reason isn't hard to find: Dallas is allowing 173.5 rushing yards per game, and now Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry are waiting.
On this edition of How Bout Wow, Gavin Dawson and Newbear Lesniewski break down the matchups that could decide Cowboys-Ravens.
Can the Cowboys defensive front maintain its structure, set the edges and keep Lamar and Henry from wrecking the game? Can Donovan Ezeiruaku take advantage of Baltimore's backup tackle and finally turn pressures into sacks? And with Zay Flowers out, can Daron Bland and Shavon Revel hold up well enough in man coverage to let Dallas devote more resources to stopping Lamar?
On the other side, Tyler Guyton gets a major test against Trey Hendrickson, Terrence Steele has another dangerous matchup, and the Cowboys interior offensive line has to deal with Nnamdi Madubuike. We'll also look at whether Baltimore's lighter dime personnel gives Dallas an opportunity to finally get its running game going.
And then there's the Quinnen Williams question.
Two games into his first full season in Dallas, are we seeing reasons to worry about the trade — or does everyone need to give this some time? And knowing what we know now, would you rather have Quinnen Williams or what could become a very valuable first-round pick?
It's the full Cowboys-Ravens Sunday preview on How Bout Wow.
