Cowboys player to watch: QB Dak Prescott is coming off his sixth career game with a completion rate of at least 80% and a passer rating of at least 120. His next one will pass Tony Romo for the most in franchise history. Prescott is fourth in the NFL in yards passing per game at 268 and is getting no help from the NFL’s worst rushing offense. His only other meeting with the Steelers, also on the road, was the eighth of 11 consecutive Dallas victories in 2016, a franchise-record streak for a single season. Prescott was on his way to winning AP Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.

Steelers player to watch: WR George Pickens. The third-year pro is flourishing into one of the NFL’s top targets even without much help from the players behind him on the depth chart. Pickens is ranked in the top 20 in the league in targets (29) and receptions (20) despite drawing heavy interest from opposing defenses each week. It’s a testament to Pickens’ talent, his chemistry with QB Justin Fields and first-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s play design that Pickens is finding favorable matchups and open space to work on a weekly basis. With Dallas’ pass rush likely compromised, Pickens may have plenty of chances to create the kind of “splash” plays that have become his specialty.

Key matchup: Pittsburgh’s offensive line vs. Dallas’ defensive front. The Steelers have one of the league’s youngest lines, even with veteran left guard Isaac Seumalo expected to return after missing a month with a pectoral injury. The right side of the line features rookie center Zach Frazier, rookie guard Mason McCormick and second-year tackle Broderick Jones, who has endured a roller coaster opening month. They will face a Dallas front missing injured end DeMarcus Lawrence and a linebacker group that will almost certainly be without All-Pro Micah Parsons.
