The Dallas Cowboys had a golden opportunity to take the NFC East this past weekend, and they absolutely laid an egg against division rival Philadelphia. The Eagles controlled the game from start to finish, and with a win on Sunday, can take down the NFC East title, which no team apparently wants to win this season.

For the Cowboys, you have to think changes are coming, as head coach Jason Garrett has been rumored to be on the hot seat for what seems to be years now. Looking at the roster, they appear to be loaded on offense in all areas of the game, and should look to the defensive side of the ball for their 2020 first round selection.

When it comes to their secondary, the Cowboys need some reinforcements, and can get some in the person of Alabama’s Trevon Diggs. The younger brother of Minnesota Vikings star, Stefon Diggs, Trevon is a guy who can be inserted right into the starting lineup in Dallas, as they look to finally get over the hump in the playoffs in 2020 and beyond.

player. 46. . Wide Receiver. Indianapolis Colts. Henry Ruggs III. 16

The Indianapolis Colts are another team who has had a roller coaster of a season in 2019, but they played a great brand of football this past weekend. The Colts played host to the Carolina Panthers in Week 16, and dominated on both sides of the ball, showing the kind of potential this team has.

Remember, they were a playoff contender during the first half of the season, and as they look to continue to build this roster, they need to get some weapons on the outside. It remains to be seen whether or not Jacoby Brissett is going to be the guy for them at quarterback moving forward, but whoever is under center, needs more weapons in the passing game.

Enter Henry Ruggs III, a good-looking wide receiver from Alabama who can not only make plays deep, but also is not afraid to go over the middle. Teaming him with the likes of T.Y. Hilton would give the Colts two very different wide receivers, but also two guys who can flat out make defensive backs look lost.
