Two NFC East foes face off in Week 4 with their seasons headed in opposite directions.
The Cowboys are back on track and feeling good after rattling off two consecutive wins. The Commanders, on the other hand, are reeling after back-to-back losses coming into this week.
Dallas has recovered impressively after a dire season-opening loss to Tampa Bay. After sinking the reigning AFC champion Bengals with a last-second field goal in Week 2, the Cowboys surged to a win over the Giants at MetLife Stadium this past Monday.
Dak Prescott's absence has been less problematic than expected so far thanks to solid play from fill-in quarterback Cooper Rush. In fact, with the win over the Giants, Rush moved to 3-0 in his career as an NFL starter. He becomes just the fourth Cowboy QB to win his first three games after Troy Aikman, Jason Garrett and Roger Staubach.

Prescott is in line to return soon, but it's still unclear whether he'll be recovered from his hand injury in time to play this Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Commanders head to Dallas hoping to snap a two-game losing streak. A win in Week 1 over Jacksonville got their season off to a good start, but they came out flat the past two weeks in losses to the Lions and Eagles.
Carson Wentz is coming off his worst outing of the season against Philadelphia, as he was sacked nine times while completing just 25 of 43 passes with no touchdowns. He'll need to improve quickly if the Commanders have any hope of sneaking into the playoffs this year.
