The 1-0 Dallas Cowboys will play their first home game of the season on Sunday afternoon.
The New York Jets will come to town after a crazy Monday night football game against the Buffalo Bills.
Instead of hosting Aaron Rodgers, it will be Zach Wilson after Rodgers was lost for the season after just a handful of plays.
He ruptured his Achilles tendon. I do feel bad for Jets fans; it is so unfortunate.
With both teams winning in week one, someone has to find their first loss.
Both defenses are elite, and it will come down to who can find the endzone once, maybe twice.
It won't take many points to win this game on Sunday afternoon.

The Cowboys' defense was the best in football last week, and with Wilson starting instead of Rodgers, they will have their way again.
The Jets defense turned Josh Allen over four times, including three interceptions and a fumble that more than likely cost the Bills the game.
It's okay, though, because everyone thinks Allen is a top 3 quarterback, even though he has led the NFL in turnovers since 2020.
The Cowboys' game plan should be exactly like last week.
Run the football, get the ball out quickly to the guys that can make plays in space.
Hit CeeDee Lamb for a big play here and there like they did against the Giants in the first half, and play efficient football.
It would also be nice if one of the tight ends caught a touchdown pass that was dropped right in their bread basket.
It is hard to say what the Cowboys need to do better for the game this week after winning 40-0.
If they do somehow get down early, don't press.
Continue to play to your strength on offense by wearing down the Jets' front seven, and then let Lamb and Cooks find an opening in the middle of the field.
The defense will have its hands full with Breece Hall, though.
He ran for 127 yards against the Bills, and with Wilson calling plays, you know they will want to run him and Dalvin Cook right at the Cowboys.
The Cowboys won't win this game 40-0 again, but it will be a gross game early until the second half.
Dallas will pull away simply because they have more offensive weapons than the Jets.
Cowboys win 23-10, advance to 2-0 on the season before they head back on the road to face the Arizona Cardinals.
