Aiming to rebound from a difficult outing, the Cowboys face challenges against All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor and tight end Tyler Warren. The Cowboys' defense ranks last in the NFL against the run, allowing over 152 yards per game, which plays into the hands of Taylor, who is among the league's top rushers. Warren, despite injury struggles, has emerged as a significant offensive threat for the Colts. The Cowboys will need to tighten their defensive strategy to avoid another frustrating game.
