The Dallas Cowboys (1-2-1) visit the New York Jets (0-4) this afternoon at MetLife Stadium in Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season.
Dallas enters with one of the league’s most explosive offenses, leading the NFL with 404.3 yards per game. Quarterback Dak Prescott ranks among the top four in QBR (74.3), averaging 279.8 passing yards per game with six touchdowns and three interceptions. Running back Javonte Williams has been a steady force, averaging 78 rushing yards per game and totaling four touchdowns through the first four weeks.
Still, protection and ball security remain concerns — Prescott has been sacked six times already this season.
The Jets, meanwhile, are desperate for a breakthrough. Winless through four weeks, New York has been hit hard by injuries, including the loss of running back and kick returner Braelon Allen, who was placed on injured reserve earlier this week.
3 Things to Watch
Dallas offensive line in flux
The Cowboys’ offensive line is significantly banged up. Center Cooper Beebe is on IR, guard Tyler Booker is out with a high-ankle sprain, and left tackle Tyler Guyton is dealing with a concussion. This could severely impact protection for Dak Prescott and limit time in the pocket.
Impact of Allen’s absence on New York
With Allen out (MCL), the Jets lose production in short-yardage and special teams. Isaiah Davis is expected to see increased carries, and the team has signed Khalil Herbert to help fill the void.
Dallas offense’s explosive potential
Even with line issues, the Cowboys lead the league in total offense. Prescott is piling up passing yards, and George Pickens has become a dangerous target, stepping up with CeeDee Lamb out. If Dallas can move the ball early, they may force the Jets into mistakes.
Cowboys-Jets Predictions
Dallas is the stronger team on paper and has the firepower to put points on the board. But with their O-line in disarray, the Jets have a chance if they can pressure Prescott and force errors. The game will likely be competitive early. Still, given Dallas’s depth, explosive plays, and turnover potential, I lean toward the Cowboys pulling away in the second half.
Projected Final Score: Cowboys 31, Jets 20
