The Dallas Cowboys gave their season new life with a Week 7 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders. As always, the victory came with a strong effort from an offense that continues to light up the scoreboard each week. 

Let’s take a look at the top two performers on that side of the ball according to PFF, as well as which player struggled the most. Each player mentioned played a minimum of 25 snaps. 

Now that’s more like it! After rushing for only 29 yards last week against the Carolina Panthers on his way to a team-low 46.4 grade, Williams bounced back to the tune of 116 yards on 19 carries while also finding the end zone. 

While Williams has been a revelation this season, there has been some worry that the clock could strike midnight on his Cinderella season, fears that were stoked after his abysmal showing last week. 

While there’s still legitimacy to the calls for Dallas to add to the running back room to ease the load on Williams, seeing him respond to his season-worst performance in such a way gives validity to his breakout season and its potential to continue during the back half of the season. 

There were questions about how quickly Lamb would be able to integrate back into an offense that has seen George Pickens elevate during his offense. Suffice it to say, we can consider those questions answered.

In his first game back from a high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 3, Lamb hauled in five catches on eight targets for 110 yards, including a 74-yard touchdown. It’s worth mentioning that Pickens still ate as well, bringing in four catches for 82 yards. 

Now that we know for sure that the two can coexist while still filling up the box score, the questions shift from ones of cohesion to ones more centered on what the ceiling of this offense can truly be.

With that said, it’ll be hard for the offense to truly reach their ceiling as long as Booker continues to struggle. Returning from a high ankle sprain of his own, the Cowboys first-round pick from this past draft posted a career-best 72.1 pass blocking grade but coupled it with a 50.0 run blocking grade. 

That combination continues an inconsistent rookie season that has flashed promise but has by and large been underwhelming. His struggles are further magnified due to the success that TJ Bass had in his absence, as Bass recorded an overall 70.9 offensive grade while giving up no sacks or hits and only one pressure in 184 snaps. 

Booker has flashed enough to make you think that he’ll be a good player in this league sooner or later. Now, with Bass waiting in the wings, Dallas has to decide how long they can wait to figure out whether or not it will indeed be sooner, or if they’ll have to wait for Booker to put it together later.
