The eve of the start of the NFL season has arrived, and in a little over 24 hours, the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> will take the stage in their season opener<\/a> against the Philadelphia Eagles. <\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter what has happened before Thursday, getting the win is the most important thing<\/a>. However, it can’t be denied, some players are facing more pressure than others. <\/p>\n

Javonte Williams <\/a>has earned the starting job in the Cowboys’ backfield, but a bad performance on Thursday will send this fan base into a frenzy. <\/p>\n

Cowboys fans have been frustrated with how the team has handled the backfield situation in the past few seasons. Williams would like to put the fans at ease with a strong performance against their hated rival.<\/p>\n

Sam Williams<\/a> probably didn’t expect to be thrust into the spotlight as the regular season begins. The Micah Parsons<\/a> trade has changed everything. <\/p>\n

Williams won’t be the only edge rusher with the pressure on them for the Cowboys, but somebody is going to have to find double-digit sacks this season. <\/p>\n

Being the highest-paid player in the league means the expectations of your play are higher than everyone else’s. Dak Prescott<\/a> will once again deal with those expectations this season. <\/p>\n

The Cowboys quarterback has a lot of doubters, and the only way to silence them is to lead this team down the field. Easier said than done. <\/p>\n
