C.J. Ham is on COVID-IR after missing several practices for "non injury-related" reasons. In Dallas, both Randy Gregory and DeMarcus Lawrence are missing practice due to an illness, and their status for Sunday is in heavy doubt. The Cowboys will start Andy Dalton at QB, which means that Zimmer's blitzes can tear them apart. If they lean on the run, they're leaning on one of the worst running backs in the league. On defense, they run cover 3. Luckily, schemes like the Vikings' have all sorts of counters worked in for cover 3. Kevin Stefanski and the Browns put up 49 on the Cowboys, largely thanks to these concepts. Finally, your bold predictions!
