Hard to understand and defend Via @danorlovsky7 on X

What happened: Dallas struggled to handle blitz pressure and adjust protection. Unblocked rushers disrupted timing and forced hurried throws.

Why it matters: Dallas sits at 2-3 and cannot afford repeated offensive stalls. Continued breakdowns compound an inefficient start to the season.

By the numbers: Dallas is 2-3 through Week 5. Allowed 419 total yards and 24 points to Tampa Bay. Holds league-worst EPA per drive.

What to watch: Dallas returns to practice this week needing cleaner blitz pickups before its next game.
