The Cowboys are coming off a big win and look to go two games over .500 today when they face the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders will have rookie Matt McGloin start for the third straight week. Starting quarterback Terrelle Pryor has been dealing with an MCL injury and will serve as a backup today. Oakland will have running back Darren McFadden back on the field after he missed time with a hamstring injury. His backup Rashad Jennings has done a great job in his absence and it will be interesting to see who gets more carries.
The Cowboys have had trouble stopping the run as their defense is still missing key players. Middle linebacker Sean Lee is still out after suffering a hamstring injury against New Orleans. The Raiders need to exploit this depleted defense in order to get a win. To add to the injuries, the Cowboys will also be without Dwyane Harris who has done a great job on special teams. Dallas is looking to get their running game going again. DeMarco Murray had a good game last week and he will need to continue that today.
As up and down as Dallas has been this season, they should get their second straight win. The Raiders are a young team who may have a bright future, but they will have a hard time stopping this talented Dallas offense. McFadden should have a big game back, as well as his backup Rashad Jennings, against a Dallas team who has had trouble stopping the run. Cowboys vs. Raiders- who you takin??
