Washington Commanders (0-1) at Dallas Cowboys (0-1) — Game Preview
The Washington Commanders travel to AT&T Stadium to face the Dallas Cowboys on September 20, 2026, with both teams looking to shake off Week 1 losses that left them 0-1. Dallas converted 8 of 11 third-down attempts for a 72.73% clip in its opener, a number that towers over Washington’s 33.33% conversion rate on 5 of 15 tries, even though the Commanders actually gained more total yards at 295 to the Cowboys’ 244. Jayden Daniels completed 18 of 34 passes for 164 yards and 2 touchdowns in that Washington loss, taking every snap at quarterback for a Commanders offense that leaned on him from the opening drive. Dak Prescott was just as steady for Dallas, completing 22 of 34 attempts for 175 yards and 2 touchdowns against a single interception in the Cowboys’ own Week 1 defeat. CeeDee Lamb remains the focal point of that Dallas passing game after catching 5 passes for 44 yards and a touchdown in the opener. On the other side of the ball, Washington will lean on linebacker Frankie Luvu, who recorded a sack in Week 1 despite carrying a questionable groin designation into Sunday’s game.

Players to Watch: Washington Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys
Washington Commanders
Jayden Daniels — QB. Daniels completed 18 of 34 passes for 164 yards and 2 touchdowns in Washington’s Week 1 loss, taking every snap at quarterback for a Commanders offense that finished with 295 total yards on the day. That total outpaced what Dallas managed in its own opener, and Daniels will look to build on it against a Cowboys defense making its first home appearance of the season.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt — RB. Croskey-Merritt carried the ball 16 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in the opener, giving Washington a physical complement to Daniels in the backfield. He was part of a Commanders rushing attack that totaled 132 yards on 32 carries as a team, a number Washington will lean on again against Dallas’ front seven.
Frankie Luvu — LB. Luvu recorded a sack in Washington’s season opener and remains the Commanders’ primary edge presence even while carrying a questionable groin designation into Sunday’s game. He anchors a Washington front that will be tasked with slowing down a Dallas offense that converted 72.73% of its third downs a week ago.
Dallas Cowboys
Dak Prescott — QB. Prescott completed 22 of 34 passes for 175 yards and 2 touchdowns against a single interception in Dallas’ season opener, directing an offense that converted 8 of 11 third-down tries. That 72.73% third-down rate paced the Cowboys even in a loss, and Prescott will look to keep that efficiency intact against a Washington defense still chasing its first win of the year.
Javonte Williams — RB. Williams ran 12 times for 41 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, giving Dallas a red-zone threat out of the backfield. He’ll carry a rushing workload behind a Cowboys offense that managed 244 total yards as a team in its opener, looking to establish more balance against Washington’s front.
Caleb Downs — S. Downs picked up a sack from the safety position in Dallas’ opener, a sign of the aggressive role the Cowboys have carved out for him in their defensive backfield. He’ll be part of a Dallas defense that allowed 28 points in Week 1 and will be looking to tighten up against a Washington offense that piled up 295 total yards a week ago.
