40-0 without two defenders that started last season's opening game, Jourdan Lewis and Donavon Wilson. This Cowboys defense is just warming up.
The Jets offense is going to have a lot of 3rd and 7. They can't hide behind their running game for 60 minutes of football. This is going to be Zach Wilson's worse nightmare.
