Trey McBride might be the most dangerous player on the Cardinals offense, so how do the Cowboys stop him? Can a tight end really beat them? We don’t want to find out. Then there's shifty quarterback Kyler Murray, who has never lost at AT&T Stadium. Can the Dallas defense contain not only Arizona’s passer but also its leading rusher? Don’t let the Cardinals’ record fool you.

Is the Cardinals defense tougher than we might think? They play a similar scheme as the Cowboys, and they don’t have any big stars, but they’ve been in every game they’ve played. So what’s the difference? Is Arizona just more consistent and in sync? And because of that, what does the Dallas offense have to do? Be darn near perfect, it seems.

Why have the Cowboys struggled to draft defensive players? Is it because they don’t know what they’re looking for? After all, Dallas has had three defensive coordinators in three years and different schemes require different players.

We’ve got key stats, players to watch and predictions coming your way.

The Broncos offensive line is no joke. Can a Cowboys defensive front that’s struggled to stop the run at times match them pound for pound? And quarterback Bo Nix and Denver like the short game with a lot of rollouts and screens. Can Dallas keep him in check?

The Cowboys have a tall task ahead of them facing Denver’s defense, which leads the NFL in sacks. Still, even though they also have one of the game’s best corners, can they stop the Dallas passing attack? Plus, what former Cowboy in his prime would you take today to help this team? White, Ware, Haley (sensing a pattern?) …

Several injured players are now entering the 21-day window to return, including rookie cornerback Shavon Revel. What can we expect from him? Should he be brought along slowly? And is too much pressure being put on DeMarvion Overshown to be the linebacking savior? Plus, will we continue to see more blitzing and man coverage? Sounds like maybe not.
