Dallas Cowboys Rise in ESPN Power Ranking After NFL Week 1

Thanks to their win against Cleveland, the Cowboys have risen up a few notches in ESPN’s latest NFL power ranking after Week. Todd Archer explained more in his analysis below.

“There were lots of choices thanks to Dallas’ big win, but Overshown gets the nod. He sat out his rookie season because of a torn ACL in his left knee but was all over the field against the Browns. He finished with nine tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits. His closing speed was eye-opening on his sack of Browns QB Deshaun Watson since he beat Micah Parsons to the signal-caller. There might be growing pains as the year progresses, but he is off to a great start,” Archer wrote.

In their Week 2 clash, the Cowboys host the New Orleans Saints at AT&T Stadium. Both teams impressed in their season openers. Key players include Prescott and CeeDee Lamb for Dallas, while Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara are predicted to lead the Saints.

Overall, the Cowboys’ Week 1 win sets a positive tone for the season, highlighting their potential as strong contenders in the league. With a solid foundation established, fans are optimistic about what lies ahead for Dallas in the coming weeks.
