Dallas can score with good teams, but the defensive burden keeps showing up. The Cowboys put up 31 on Baltimore and still fell to 1-2 because the Ravens reached 34. PFM held Dallas at No. 20, which fits a team with enough offense to stay dangerous but not enough defensive consistency to control the game script.
Dallas fell after a 34-31 loss to Baltimore. Recent Performance improved slightly, but the Cowboys' Defense Strength dropped sharply after allowing another efficient offensive showing.
Dallas is an offense-first team built around Dak Prescott's timing and CeeDee Lamb's ability to move around the formation. Scoring 31 against Baltimore showed the passing game can create enough offense, but allowing 34 keeps the defense from giving Dallas a more balanced identity.
Dallas cannot let the rebuilt defense lose all three layers at once. New York ran for 165 yards, Dart stayed comfortable and the secondary gave up three touchdown passes. Schottenheimer needs the front and coverage to settle quickly enough that Prescott is not chasing the game every week.
Pick the winner.
Dallas sits near the middle of the league at No. 13 in remaining road strength, with opponents averaging 80.4. Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams create the toughest stretch, but 6 games against current top-10 teams keep the schedule from belonging at either extreme.
Toughest remaining opponent: 
Seattle Seahawks at 89.9 PFM.
Shared profile: Explosiveness and Roster Strength.
Dallas supports the quarterback with motion and formation stress, while Washington gets there with a power run game and RPOs. That means Dallas can force coverage to declare before the snap, while Washington can stress the run fit before the throw. Washington separates on defense, where the stronger blend of pressure and coverage is built around pressure packages that change the protection.
Dallas Cowboys sits 3rd in the division, 7.4 PFM points from Philadelphia.
