3 keys to the Cowboys getting back on track in Indianapolis

The Landry Hat highlights three tactical keys for the Dallas Cowboys to defeat the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium following Dallas' 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Sitting at a 3-5 record under head coach Brian Schottenheimer, the writer argues that the Cowboys must contain Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and substantially improve their league-worst rush defense.

Additionally, writer Jeff Speicher says the Cowboys' defense must fix critical tackling issues after repeatedly missing stops against previous opponents. Offensively, Speicher argues Dallas should exploit Indianapolis' 26th-ranked rushing defense by establishing running backs Javonte Williams and Tyler Goodson early to open up play-action passing opportunities for quarterback Dak Prescott.
