Sunday the Raiders will take on a Cowboys squad that will be without several key starters. Most notably, of course, will be Ezekiel Elliott who is serving the final week of his suspension. Even without him, the Cowboys have begun looking like their old selves again the past couple weeks. Their playoff aspirations are still alive. Whether they stay alive or die in Oakland will depend largely on these key match-ups.
This is actually a good match-up for Sean Smith, believe it or not. Facing big targets like Bryant is the very reason Smith is employed by NFL teams.
