It’s time for the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> to shake off the nightmare that was their Week 6 l<\/a>oss to the Carolina Panthers. <\/p>\n

A loss like that can stick with a team, but the Cowboys have a massive test this weekend when they take on the Washington Commanders. <\/p>\n

The Commanders are also coming off a loss, which means it will be a battle of two teams desperate to tip the scales<\/a>. <\/p>\n

So, how can the Cowboys find themselves in the win column in Week 7? Here are the three keys to victory for the Cowboys. <\/p>\n

1. Force Turnovers<\/strong>\"Washington<\/p>\n

The Cowboys have only forced four turnovers this season, but getting the Commanders to turn the ball over is vital. <\/p>\n

In Week 6, the Commanders turned the ball over three times in their loss to the Chicago Bears. If the Cowboys’ defense is going to step up, the time is now. <\/p>\n

2. Return To Form In The Backfield<\/strong>\"Dallas<\/p>\n

The Cowboys’ running game has been stronger than expected this season. However, in their Week 6 loss, the Cowboys only rushed for 31 yards. <\/p>\n

If the Cowboys want to be a threat to the NFC East crown, running back Javonte Williams has to return to form this week.<\/p>\n

3. Pressure Daniels<\/strong>\"Washington<\/p>\n

Jayden Daniels was sacked three times in the Commanders’ Week 6 loss to the Bears. The Cowboys’ defense cannot give Daniels time to go through his reads in the passing game. <\/p>\n

Pressure on the quarterback is needed for the win in Week 7. <\/p>\n
