Two Offensive Players to Watch in the Cowboys Final Game of the Season
With the Dallas Cowboys’ season coming to a close on Sunday versus the New York Giants, they want to end the season strong and build a bit of confidence heading into what will be a long offseason. This last game provides an excellent opportunity for players to showcase their skills as the season comes to a close. While starters like George Pickens and Dak Prescott are playing for incentives and pride, others are playing to display their worth to the Cowboys and to the rest of the NFL. These players may not play the entire game; however, they will certainly give their all on the field, taking full advantage of this valuable opportunity.
Joe Milton
The former New England quarterback Joe Milton has gotten limited chances to play this season, but he has tried to make the most of his opportunities. In the Cowboys' loss to Denver in the Mile High City, Milton threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert. Although this play had little significance for the Cowboys' overall season and the game, it did showcase Milton's elite arm talent. As the final game of the season approaches, it remains probable that Prescott will be the starting quarterback, even at this late juncture in the year. However, Milton should receive the most playing time he has had all season this Sunday. Milton is still a long-term project for the Cowboys, who hope that he will eventually yield positive results, and playing against the Giants is a prime opportunity to continue developing him.
Jaydon Blue
The former Texas Longhorn Jaydon Blue had high expectations entering his rookie season, but he could not get his feet going in the right direction. He has only had two games thus far, and similarly to Milton, one came in the blowout loss to the Broncos in Denver, where he had eight carries for 29 rush yards. In New York, he will likely be the number one running back, as both Javonte Williams and Malik Davis will be unavailable for this game. Jerry Jones is adamant that the Cowboys offense will see Blue get a solid workload this week, and against the 31st-ranked rushing defense in the NFL, it is the best way for his confidence to be at a high entering next season.
