Here are some other keys to beating the Patriots in Week 4:

Halt the ground game​

This is obvious, especially after last week, but it doesn’t make it any less true. The Cowboys showed the first real signs of cracks in their defense by allowing 222 yards on the ground against the lowly Arizona Cardinals. The Patriots will force Dan Quinn’s unit to show that they can stop the run, and if they can't, Belichick will hammer the run and try to control the game.

Protect Prescott from Judon attack​

The Patriots have a solid defense, and it includes one star that could disrupt the offensive game plan. Pass rusher Matthew Judon is among the league’s best at getting to the quarterback.

Make Mac Jones beat them​

The Cowboys struggled to force Joshua Dobbs into mistakes last week, failing to take the ball away and coming up with just two sacks. That cannot happen again this weekend if the Cowboys want to win their third game.

Convert in the red zone​

The Cowboys haven’t had much issue moving the ball through the first three weeks of the season, however, they have had an issue scoring touchdowns.

Convert in the red zone.
