Know Your Opponent: Dallas Cowboys
Take a closer look at the Jaguars Week 10 opponent, the Dallas Cowboys.
Romo is listed as questionable after fracturing his back in Week 8 against the Washington Redskins. Returning from off-season back surgery, Romo played well through the first seven Weeks of the season throwing for almost 2,000-yards and 15 touchdowns while leading the Cowboys to a 6-1 start before getting injured.
The fifth year pro out of Oklahoma State remains one of the biggest matchup nightmares in the NFL. His size and speed combination is rare and he attacks the ball in the air arguably more aggressively than anyone in the League right now. He currently leads the team with 50 catches for 635 yards and six touchdowns.
Murray has been the best back in the NFL this season, and it's not even close. Murray opened the season by rushing for over 100-yards in his first eight games, breaking Jim Brown's 56 year record of seven consecutive games over 100-yards rushing to open up a season. Murray, 1,133-yards rushing, is on pace to eclipse the 2,000-yard mark this season.
Witten went over the 10,000 career yard mark in Week 7 win against the New York Giants. He is just the third tight end to eclipse the 10,000 yard receiving mark with 10,065 career yards. Witten sits behind only Tony Gonzalez who has over 15,000-yards receiving and is sure to be a first ballot Hall of Famer when he gets the chance in four years.
Williams is the perfect complement to Bryant with his ability to stretch the field and make the tough, acrobatic catches. He's only fourth on the team with 27 receptions, but he's second with 426-yards receiving and is tied with Bryant for the team lead with six touchdown receptions.
Church has been able to help solidify a Dallas secondary that gave up an NFL-worst 415 yards per game in 2013. He currently leads the team with 52 tackles, and has helped the Cowboys defense move up to 20th in total yards allowed per game.
McClain doesn't look to have missed a step after missing all of last season after prematurely retiring in May 2013. McClain was acquired in a trade from the Baltimore Ravens on July 1st after starting MLB Sean Lee was lost for the year with an ACL tear. He is third on the team with 44 tackles to go along with his team-leading two interceptions.
Melton has been the most consistent and dominant pass-rusher for Dallas this season. The Cowboys as a whole have really struggled to generate a consistent pass-rush this year as evidenced by their total of 11 sacks through nine games. Melton, however, has done his part accounting for five of those 11 sacks.
