Javonte Williams has perfect answer for Cowboys' brutal three-game stretch image

The Dallas Cowboys finally got some positive momentum going their way after a serious tough couple of weeks with Marshawn Kneeland's passing.

The win over the Las Vegas Raiders was much-needed, and now attention turns to a season-defining three-game stretch for Dallas that will either make it or break it in 2025.

The Philadelphia Eagles are up first, followed by the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions in what is a brutal 12-day stretch for Brian Schottenheimer's team.

And for running back Javonte Williams, he's never had this sort of schedule before, but he's ready to dive in.

"No, this is my first time and I feel like we playing some of the best teams on our schedule at this point in time," Williams said. "So, we just got to stay locked in, keep stacking wins, and just find a way to play like we play Monday night every game."

Williams having superb bounce-back season

The move for Javonte was seen as a gamble in the offseason, but just 10 games in, and there's no denying it was a shrewd and good decision.

Williams already has 809 yards and eight touchdowns (career high), and is only 95 yards away from having a career-high in yards as well.

Running at 5.0 yards per clip, Williams has been a breath of fresh air to the Cowboys' offense that was crying out for some resemblance of a run game after last year's horror show. Williams has given Dallas that and more.

Averaging a tick over 80 rushing yards per game (another career-high), Williams has been a driving force for Schottenheimer's offense, and over the next 12 days, as three contenders lie in wait, Javonte will be counted on more than ever to help his 4-5-1 team prove that this Cowboys team can still amount to something in 2025.
