The Dallas Cowboys are riding high after a dominant win over the New York Jets in Week 5 of the NFL season, and there is another favorable matchup in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers.<\/p>\n

While the Cowboys’ defense has had its noticeable struggles, the offense has been playing at an elite level, with Dak Prescott establishing himself as a legitimate NFL MVP candidate.<\/p>\n

Another reason for the team’s success is the play-calling of Brian Schottenheimer.<\/p>\n

Schottenheimer’s play-calling has adapted throughout the season, and he’s managed to put his team in position to succeed despite a flurry of injuries to several key players. Following Week 5, The Arena: Gridiron <\/em>podcast discussed Schottenheimer and the Cowboys offense and had nothing but high praise.<\/p>\n

Prescott currently ranks second in passing yards with 1,356, while being in a tie for third with 10 passing touchdowns.<\/p>\n

A major surprise has been the rushing attack, with Javonte Williams proving to be one of the steals of free agency, and benefiting from Klayton Adams’ impressive scheme.<\/p>\n

Williams ranks third in the league with 447 rushing yards and is tied for second with five touchdowns. George Pickens, another high-profile offseason addition, also ranks second in the NFL with five receiving touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Hopefully the offense can continue to string together standout performances, because as long as they are lighting up the scoreboard, the team has a chance to rack up wins.<\/p>\n
