## Resource

Jeff Cavanaugh and Jesse Holley preview the Dallas Cowboys’ Week 2 matchup with the Washington Commanders. After a disappointing season-opening loss to the Giants, can the Cowboys bounce back at home? And, more importantly, can this revamped defense clean up the communication issues that plagued them in Week 1? Jeff and Jesse discuss: - Which side of the ball is most likely to have a better showing? - What gives you faith that the defensive communication will improve? - Is this already a must-win game? - Which matchups favor the Cowboys the most? - Which Commanders matchups are the biggest concern? - What has to change for Dallas to leave Week 2 with a win? The Cowboys and Commanders meet Sunday at AT&T Stadium, with both teams entering the game 0-1. Subscribe to DLLS Cowboys for daily Cowboys coverage, analysis, reactions and more.
