Odds makers gave Dallas a much greater chance to win Sunday’s game after the injury happened.
But as the Cowboys point out, the Jets have a great defense that will be tough to beat.
"They can get after. They got a great pass rush. You watch that game Monday. They had a hell of an offense, just a few points. So, we know the challenge we have on our hands and they’re a good defense and I expect to see all that come Sunday," said Dak Prescott, the Cowboys’ quarterback.
