00:00An interesting spot here, Blue, for the Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:08The Cowboys are 2-2.
00:10They had a mini-bye, of course, after Thursday Night Football last week, handling business
00:16against the Giants, 20-15, not exactly overwhelmingly impressive in their performance.
00:22The Steelers suffered their first loss of the season last week against the Colts.
00:27They were getting house to start, made it compelling in the second half, and Justin
00:31Fields was great statistically.
00:34Two-and-a-half point spread in favor of the Steelers at home on Sunday.
00:39How do you break down Sunday Night Football between the boys and the Steelers?
00:43I can hit on one of the things that's really important for the Steelers to do, and Fields
00:47has commented on it just yesterday.
00:52The last two weeks, the Steelers have shown a glimpse of a legitimate offense in the second
00:57halves of games, but the first halves of their games are field goal fests.
01:02They're not putting up a lot of points, and against a Dallas team that historically, at
01:05least the last two years, has been a very good first-half team, I think it's going to
01:09be important to match them offensively or at least limit them.
01:14Now, Mike Tomlin is excellent during primetime games.
01:18His record is.
01:19Given the fact that they're barely laying anything here, a point-and-a-half, two-and-a-half,
01:23I'm going to lean towards the Steelers.
01:26Dallas, obviously, dealing with some injuries as well, but the Steelers, we have thought,
01:33and they have exhibited so far this year, that they're going to be a fairly conservative
01:36team running the ball a lot.
01:38They are now down two offensive linemen.
01:40James Daniels declared out for the year, one of their starting guards, and Fautanu, their
01:47first-round draft pick, is out long-term as well.
01:50So the Steelers are operating with a mash-unit offensive line, and on the other side, the
01:57Micah Parsons-Demarcus Lawrence story.
02:00So both of these teams probably not at peak health.
02:03I just have to roll with the Steelers, given the fact that their defense has limited the
02:07opposing offenses so far this season.
