How to Watch Commanders vs. Cowboys Players To Watch In the opener at Philadelphia, Jayden Daniels threw for 164 yards and two touchdowns, added 31 rushing yards on five carries, and did not turn the ball over. Dallas forced four fumbles and recovered one in Week 1. Against that defense, Daniels' ball security and ability to pick up yards with his legs are the clearest things to watch. Dallas leaned on Javonte Williams as its primary back in Week 1. He handled 12 carries for 41 yards and a rushing touchdown against the Giants, then added five catches for 31 yards and another score, while no other Cowboys running back had more than two carries. Washington's defense opened with 10 tackles for loss and three sacks. Against that front, Williams' early-down runs and checkdowns are the clearest things to watch. CeeDee Lamb led Dallas with eight targets in the opener, turning five catches into 44 yards and a touchdown while the Cowboys managed only 175 passing yards as a team. Dallas averaged under 8 yards per catch in that loss at New York. Lamb winning early and finishing in the red zone is how the Cowboys stretch Washington's defense. Washington leaned on the run in Week 1, and Austin Williams was the wideout who flashed. The rookie third-rounder caught all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown, leading the Commanders in receiving yards. Dallas allowed 28 points in its opener and ranks 21st in points allowed per game through one week. Williams' perimeter speed is one of the first ways Washington can test that Cowboys defense.
