Will The Cowboys Exploit The League-Worst Seattle Pass Defense This Sunday?
Seattle's defense has been getting shredded through the air to start the 2020 NFL season. The Seahawks are dead last in passing yards allowed per game thus far (415.5 passing yards per game / 831 total passing yards in 2 games), and are allowing 8.64 yards per attempt through the air.
The Cowboys offense has been lighting it up when forced to pass. The Cowboys are 3rd best (716 yards) in total passing yards so far after the first two weeks. That's a whopping average of 358 passing yards per game and a respectable 8.1 yards per attempt.
On the contrary, after the first 2 games of the season...
The Cowboys have the 11th best rushing attack in the league so far, having rushed for 261 yards and a very respectable 130.5 yards/game.
The Seahawks boast the 2nd best rushing defense, so far, holding their first two opponents to a total of 139 rushing yards total. That's an average of 69.5 rushing yards per game.
With the Cowboys Oline still not fully healthy while being forced to play a pair of inexperienced Olinemen at both Tackle positions, should the Cowboys rely more on Dak and their receiving weapons in the passing attack to exploit Seattle's porous pass coverage defense, or should the Cowboys try to be more balanced and try to force more of a rushing game against the 2nd best run stopping defense the Seahawks currently have?
