Yet, it was barely noticeable in Sunday\u2019s 37-22 beatdown of the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas ran for 180 yards, quarterback Dak Prescott was sacked only once, and a front five that was without four starters compiled two scoring drives of 90 or more yards in the second quarter as the Cowboys compiled their first win since Week 2.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys went 6-of-13 on third down and outgained the Jets 416-378. Through four games, Dallas (2-2-1) leads the NFL in yards per game (406.6) and ranks fourth in points per game (30.2).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s credit to these coaches, it\u2019s credit to the players, it\u2019s credit to the organization and I mean, everybody,\u201d Prescott said, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. \u201cThere\u2019s not many teams in the league that can put four guys who don\u2019t start into the game and feel confident about going and winning a game, especially on the road against one of the most premier interior defensive linemen (Quinnen Williams) and some good rushers as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Who Started on the Cowboys\u2019 Offensive Line?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vmcdn.ca\/f\/files\/shared\/feeds\/cp\/2025\/10\/378a127bc6790a8c64be8aa44e252e8b9305a27158ac6947023f706e1317abed.jpg;w=960\" alt=\"Cowboys are down at least 3 offensive linemen, and maybe 4, against Jets -  North Shore News\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys\u2019 offensive line featured almost entirely backups. Rookie first rounder Tyler Booker and Tyler Guyton were both late inactives because of injuries, joining Cooper Beebe and Tyler Smith among the unavailable starters.<\/p>\n<p>Beebe (high-ankle sprain) was already on injured reserve, while Smith (knee) was technically active but available only in case of emergency.<\/p>\n<p>The only healthy starter was right tackle Terence Steele, who has not missed a game since 2022. Opposite him at left tackle was Nate Thomas, who was making his first career start in place of Guyton (concussion). T.J. Bass was the next man up at right guard with Booker (ankle) out.<\/p>\n<p>Hakeem Adeniji started at left guard, and Brock Hoffman was back at center in place of Beebe.<\/p>\n<p>Even with all those changes, the Cowboys topped 30 points for the third time in four weeks to keep pace with the Eagles and Commanders atop the NFC East. Prescott threw for 237 yards and four touchdowns on 18-of-29 passing, and Javonte Williams ran for a season-high 135 yards and scored two touchdowns. Ryan Flournoy had a team-high 114 yards receiving on six catches with All-Pro receiver\u00a0CeeDee Lamb (ankle) out.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/w_3840,q_auto:good,c_limit\/Mzk6MDAwMDAwMDAwMjc3NDI0\/nfl-dallas-cowboys-at-new-york-jets-277424.jpg\" alt=\"Trevon Diggs clearly explains exactly what made the Cowboys defense look  much better in Week 5 win over Jets - A to Z Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What Did Dak Prescott Say About the Offensive Line?<\/h2>\n<p>Prescott complimented the Cowboys\u2019 backup linemen for making the most of their opportunity, saying they\u2019d prepared for such situations all offseason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt goes back to April and OTAs, all the way through minicamp of guys taking advantage of each rep that they\u2019ve gotten and knowing that their time\u2019s going to come,\u201d Prescott said. \u201cOur (offensive coordinator) Klayton (Adams) says it all the time, if you don\u2019t like your position or if you\u2019re a little upset, you know that you\u2019re not the guy, wait 10, 15 minutes, you never know. That\u2019s the way that this league goes. And those four guys and (Flourney) and other guys showed that tonight that you just keep your head down, you keep working, you control what you can control, and when your opportunities come, you don\u2019t have to look around, you can take advantage of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys visit the Panthers in Week 6.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cowboys&#8217; makeshift offensive line stepped up in a big way in Sunday&#8217;s win, much to the satisfaction of quarterback Dak Prescott.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34715,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dallas-cowboys"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
