Sunday Night Showdown: Experts Weigh In on Cowboys vs Steelers Faceoff

It’s Week 5 of the NFL season, and tonight’s matchup is highly anticipated as the Dallas Cowboys take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Sunday Night Football.

The Cowboys roll into this game with a 2-2 record, fresh off a significant division victory against the New York Giants. Meanwhile, the Steelers stand at 3-1 after a disappointing loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

As two of the NFL’s storied franchises, this game carries a bit more weight. Both teams are eager to prove their worth, but only one can emerge victorious.

Matt Levine: The Steelers are looking to bounce back after last week’s setback. Playing at home, they’ll aim to assert themselves as a leading team in the AFC. However, the Cowboys are facing injury challenges on defense, which could be a significant factor. While Dallas has a potent offense, I believe Pittsburgh’s defense will make a difference tonight.

John Robinson: The Cowboys’ defense has struggled this season, and with Justin Fields hitting his stride, the Steelers’ running game could prove too much for them.
