Both the Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys sit at 3-4 on the season, with shaky play on both sides of the ball, but enough talent to potentially salvage the season. The first step is getting to .500, and one of them will do so at the expense of the other on Monday Night Football for Week 9. Monday’s game is set for 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN (live streaming via WatchESPN).

The passing game has been a big issue for both teams. Marcus Mariota and Dak Prescott are not living up to expectations by a long shot. Only the Bills rank lower than the Titans and Cowboys in passing offense this season. Mariota has thrown just three touchdowns against five interceptions this season, and has taken 19 sacks.
Prescott’s ratio is better, with eight touchdowns and four interceptions, but he continues to throw for very low yardage numbers, averaging just 183.1 yards per game. The Cowboys have the advantage of the running game, however, where Prescott has 236 yards and Ezekiel Elliott has 619 yards. Dion Lewis and Derrick Henry both have under 300 yards for the Titans.
Below is all you need to know going into Monday’s action.
