The Dallas Cowboys will face one of the toughest offensive assignments in football on Sunday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium . The Cowboys are injury-plagued, having lost Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Brandin Cooks to injuries and a knee infection, respectively. Now, facing a Mike Tomlin Steelers team that eats offenses alive is a tough task.
But, and it's a big but, if Mike McCarthy can mastermind a win on the road in Pittsburgh, how could the Cowboys do it? By doing these five things. First though, the inactives: Caelen Carson, K.J.

J. Watt matched up against the rookie as often as he can. Hence, it is important for the Cowboys to help out their rookie.

2. Offense be efficient : This hasn't been in the Cowboys' wheelhouse in the opening month, but when you come up against a defense that only allowed 13 points a game on average when you get your chances, you mus.
