Cowboys Offense to Light Up in Week 2 Thanks to Saints Injury
CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup Set to Feast on Depleted Defense
Coming off their Week 1 performance against the Buccaneers, many questioned the effectiveness of the Dallas Cowboys offense. Led by quarterback Dak Prescott, the team failed to impress in the first game of the season. However, an injury to a key player on the Saints defense could be the break the Cowboys need to turn things around.
Saints Defense Vulnerable Without Marshon Lattimore
The New Orleans Saints will be without star cornerback Marshon Lattimore in Week 2 due to an injury. Lattimore is widely considered one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. With him out, the Saints defense will struggle to match up against the Cowboys' talented receiving corps.
Lamb, Gallup Ready to Explode
With Lattimore out this week, the Cowboys' top receivers, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup, should see plenty of targets, regardless of who is playing quarterback for Dallas. Lamb is coming off a breakout season in 2021, where he led the team in receiving yards. Gallup is also a talented receiver who is coming off a strong preseason performance.
Cowboys Offense Has High Expectations
The Cowboys offense has been one of the most talented units in the NFL for several years, but they have yet to live up to expectations. With a healthy Prescott and a depleted Saints secondary, Week 2 could be the week that everything clicks for the Cowboys offense. If they can get a big win in New Orleans, they will be a team to watch for the rest of the season.
Stat of the Week
* Marshon Lattimore has allowed just 2 touchdowns in coverage over the past two seasons.
