Dallas Cowboys:
Dallas is coming off a 20-15 win against the NY Giants on Thursday night, however at 2-2, the Cowboys have had their worst start to the season since 2020. The team struggled in weeks 2 and 3, allowing over 430 yards in back-to-back losses. However, Dallas rebounded in Week 4, holding the Giants to 303 total yards in the win.
Dak Prescott completed 22-of-27 for 221 passing yards and 2 pass touchdowns. There was a lot of uncertainty about his future entering the season but the franchise locked the veteran QB to a 4-year, $240 million extension on the first day of the season. Prescott is now the highest-paid player in NFL history in terms of average annual value, at $60 million.
WR CeeDee Lamb also received a big check, with a 4-year $136 million extension. He currently leads the team in receptions (20), receiving yards (316), and receiving touchdowns (2). Lamb is the second-highest-paid WR in the league (in terms of AAV) behind Justin Jefferson.

Pittsburgh Steelers:
The Steelers fell 27-24 to the Colts in Week 4. Pittsburgh’s defense had been solid through the first 3 weeks of the season, holding their opponents to a combined total of 2 touchdowns and 26 points. However, the Steelers gave up a season-high 358 total yards in their first loss of the season.
Despite the setback, QB Justin Fields had a standout performance last Sunday. He finished with 312 pass yards—the second highest of his career—3 touchdowns (1 passing, 2 rushing), and led the team with 55 rushing yards.
Fields, the 11th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, was traded by the Bears in March for a conditional sixth-round pick in 2025. The Steelers also signed QB Russell Wilson who was named the starter entering the season but has yet to make his debut due to a calf injury.
