  "account": "Recent NFL power rankings have placed the Dallas Cowboys at 11th in the league, just one spot behind the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East. ESPN's preseason projection for Dallas is 9.2 wins, with a 51.9% chance of making the playoffs and a 33.9% chance of winning their division. The main area of concern for the Cowboys centers around their defense, particularly in generating a pass rush.\n\nThe Cowboys recently traded for edge rusher Rashan Gary, who has yet to achieve a double-digit sack season in his career. ESPN believes Gary could potentially reach that milestone if he stays healthy and adjusts to Christian Parker's new defensive scheme. With a strong offensive unit led by quarterback Dak Prescott, Dallas' biggest strength remains their offensive prowess.",
  "summary": "The Dallas Cowboys got a fairly typical rating when ESPN tabbed them 11th in its preseason power rankings, with defense cited as the concern.",
