Buffalo Bills vs. Dallas Cowboys Preview: Josh Allen vs. Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons & Disruptive Defense

The Buffalo Bills host the high-flying Dallas Cowboys at Highmark Stadium on Sunday afternoon. This matchup is highlighted by potent quarterbacks in Dak Prescott and Josh Allen, who have thrown the must touchdown passes (Prescott, 28; Allen, 25) in the league this season.

Both teams won big last Sunday, with the Bills defeating the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and the Cowboys crushing the Philadelphia Eagles.

The victory keeps Dallas in the running for the NFC East division title and No. 1 seed in the NFC. If the postseason started today, the 11th-ranked Bills would be left out. Buffalo is chasing the first-place Miami Dolphins in the AFC East. With four games remaining, every win gets it closer to qualifying for the postseason.

Prescott and the No. 1-ranked Cowboys offense (32.4 points per game) look to keep momentum alive and continue to protect the ball. Dallas’ 11 giveaways in 2023 are tied for fewest in the NFL.

A key to victory ... Can Allen take care of the ball against the Dallas defense? Since Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn arrived in 2021, the Cowboys lead the NFL in takeaways (88) and interceptions (55.) Allen leads the league in interceptions (55) since 2021.

Sunday is a homecoming for Cowboys' Stephon Gilmore of sorts. The cornerback was selected in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the Bills and played for Buffalo for five seasons. Gilmore is fresh off an impressive performance in the Dallas win vs. Philadelphia, finishing with nine tackles and forced one timely fumble on A.J. Brown.

THE FINAL WORD: Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn stated that he would not ask Trevon Diggs for tips on how to defend his brother, Stefon.

“I would not do that. I wouldn’t want to put him in that situation. That’s his brother. I certainly wouldn’t,” Quinn said.

Even though Trevon won't suit up on Sunday, this is the first time the two brothers' teams have faced each other since he entered the league in 2020.
