The two bring the potency of the unit down a couple of notches, and Lawrence\u2019s ability to play the run is especially important against Pittsburgh and an offense that loves to pound the rock.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Cowboys got some good news on Saturday that doesn\u2019t bode well for the Steelers\u2019 passing offense.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\"><a><picture class=\"is-loaded\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MjA5NTc2MDg3MzUxNDY5NzE4\/usatsi_24333380.webp 380w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MjA5NTc2MDg3MzUxNDY5NzE4\/usatsi_24333380.webp 620w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjA5NTc2MDg3MzUxNDY5NzE4\/usatsi_24333380.webp 700w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MjA5NTc2MDg3MzUxNDY5NzE4\/usatsi_24333380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MjA5NTc2MDg3MzUxNDY5NzE4\/usatsi_24333380.jpg 620w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjA5NTc2MDg3MzUxNDY5NzE4\/usatsi_24333380.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"m-detail--tml-image m-image\" src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjA5NTc2MDg3MzUxNDY5NzE4\/usatsi_24333380.jpg\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs tackles Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers.\" width=\"2262\" height=\"1508\" data-src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjA5NTc2MDg3MzUxNDY5NzE4\/usatsi_24333380.jpg\" \/><\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--tml-image-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"m-detail--tml-image-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<p class=\"tml-image--caption\">Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs tackles Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tml-image--attribution\">Brad Penner-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to\u00a0Jordan Schultz, Dallas corner Trevon Diggs is expected to play for Sunday\u2019s nightcap.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"t3_1fx497e-tweet-iframe\" class=\"items-center overflow-hidden b-0 border-transparent justify-center bg-neutral-background-weak max-w-[550px] rounded-[14px]\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redditmedia.com\/mediaembed\/1fx497e\/?responsive=true&amp;is_nightmode=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"873px\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-orientation-lock allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-presentation allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" aria-label=\"Tweet: \"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\" data-zone-count=\"4\"><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Needless to say, the Cowboys are fortunate that their top defensive back \u2013 who was dealing with an ankle injury \u2013 can go.<\/p>\n<p>The Dallas secondary wasn\u2019t particularly deep to begin with, having lost ballhawk DaRon Bland to injury this summer. The team relied on Andrew Booth to step in for Diggs while he missed part of the Week 4 victory and the replacement struggled mightily, to a point where he would\u2019ve been the target of the Steelers\u2019 game plan if he were to start on Sunday.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\" data-zone-count=\"4\"><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Instead, the Cowboys boast a corner who specializes in creating turnovers and has shown an improved ability to win in man coverage against top receivers. In a matchup as tightly contested as this one \u2013 Pittsburgh is a field-goal favorite at home \u2013 one player could make all the difference.<\/p>\n<p>Further, Diggs\u2019 role is made more significant by the Steelers\u2019 lack of depth at receiver. It\u2019s no secret that receiver George Pickens is the only target worth worrying about in this offense, and being shadowed by a star corner could make an aerial attack hard to put together.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body\">\n<p>Steelers quarterback\u00a0Justin Fields\u00a0has largely avoided turnovers amidst his hot start.
