Lean: DAL, but this is essentially a toss-up with the tie kept live. Dallas gets the narrow nod from home field and a stronger 2025 offensive baseline: 27.7 points per game and 277.5 passing yards per game, compared with Washington’s 20.9 and 195.8. That edge is tempered by Dallas opening 2026 with a 20-28 loss, while Washington’s 22-24 defeat was closer and its offense produced 132 rushing yards in that game. Washington’s current passing output was only 164 yards, however, so sustaining drives against Dallas remains a concern. With both teams 0-1, the matchup looks too balanced for a confident team call.
