Despite missing Dak Prescott for several games, the Dallas Cowboys were able to stay afloat and be within striking distance of the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles and surging New York Giants in the NFC East.
The team’s defense is stout, but the offense could use a jolt as CeeDee Lamb has not really take that huge leap as the team thought he would after they traded away Amari Cooper this offseason.
To keep pace, Troy Aikman says the team should add more offensive firepower.
“You better have some offense in today’s NFL if you’re going to win games,” Aikman told TMZ when asked if the team should look to add a wide receiver at the trade deadline.
“The way you have offense is you have weapons, and you’ve gotta have more than one or two… I think when they lost Amari Cooper this past year, he was a guy who definitely garnered some attention in coverage and it opened a lot of other things up. So it would help them for sure.”
The interviewer mentioned Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks and the Steelers’ Chase Claypool, but Aikman did not specifically name a player that Dallas should target, but he clearly agrees that the team should get some more help for Dak Prescott.
