The New York Jets vs. Dallas Cowboys matchup was one of the most intriguing of Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season. The Jets were still looking for their first win of the campaign, while the Cowboys, fresh off one of the best games of the season (40-40 against the Green Bay Packers), were ready to build on that result and improve to 2-2-1.
Justin Fields has played at a solid level with New York, but his good performances didn’t translate into wins. Dak Prescott is once again showing that he’s a reliable quarterback, but the Cowboys are still waiting for those victories.
