This is a golden opportunity for the team to get back a win, and here are the three keys to victory for the Cowboys against the Jets.

The Jets’ defense is giving up just short of 200 yards per game through the air this season. However, Dak Prescott leads the league in passing yards through four weeks.
If Prescott can lead the Cowboys offense to 40 points against the Packers, something tells me the team can trust him against the Jets.
Pressure Fields

Jets quarterback Justin Fields can be a threat in many ways to a defense. But his numbers are less than flattering this season, as the former first-round pick doesn’t even have 500 yards passing, and has only thrown two touchdowns.
If the Cowboys can get pressure on Fields and force him into making mistakes, it will be a long day for the Jets.

The Dallas Cowboys have back-to-back games that are very favorable for the team to pick up a win. Don’t let a desperate team like the Jets stick around. Take care of business early, and the Cowboys won’t become the butt of the jokes on Monday morning.
