The New York Jets will welcome the Dallas Cowboys to MetLife Stadium in Week 5 with Aaron Glenn's team chasing their first win of the year.

With the Cowboys having a long injury list on both sides of the ball, a chance has presented itself for the Jets to perhaps catch a Dallas team napping coming off a 40-40 overtime tie on Sunday night.

Given Dallas' defensive struggles, the Jets offense will fancy their chances to put up points, but on offense, the Cowboys have been sublime, led by Dak Prescott.

And Glenn knows what's coming on Sunday.

“Obviously, a team that has a quarterback that's playing at the top of his game,” Glenn said. “So, defensively, we got to be on point when it comes to that. I look at their defense somewhat similar to ours. New coordinator trying to get his system in and try to get guys to operate in that system the way he wanted to.

"I know he's had some challenges, but man, he has some talent over there, and we have to make sure that offensively, we understand exactly who they got because they are disruptive, fast, and can make some plays, they have some ball hawks over there.”

Can Jets cause an upset vs. Cowboys?

Given the state of the Dallas defense, absolutely.

But offensively, Dak and Co. have been cooking, so Justin Fields, Garrett Wilson, and Breece Hall are going to have to put up a lot of points for the Jets to be competitive.

Luckily for New York, Matt Eberflus' defense gives up yards for fun, so this could be a high-scoring game on Sunday, as the Jets look to get what would be their first win of the season.

The Cowboys lost the last time they faced the Jets at MetLife, so Glenn will have his team ready to roll in an attempt to finally put one in the win column against a Cowboys team that can't stop anyone on defense.
