Four keys for the Washington Football Team against the Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are coming to FedEx Field on Sunday, and, despite everything that has gone badly for Ron Rivera’s squad through the first six weeks of the season, they have an opportunity to stay relevant in the division by getting a win against the struggling Cowboys before enjoying a bye in Week 8.

If the burgundy and gold wants to steal an unexpected victory here, however, there are four key things they will need to take care of.

Number One: BLITZ!!

In last week’s article, I said that the team would need to pressure Daniel Jones with four rushers and drop seven because Danny Dimes was completing 61% of his passes whether he was blitzed or not, but his completion rate fell dramatically when he was pressured by four rushers and had to throw into 7-man coverage.
