For Cowboys’ backup quarterback Trey Lance, he’s been cast in a supporting role as a two-time NFL MVP. Lance has spent the week leading up to Sunday’s Cowboys-Ravens matchup playing the role of Lamar Jackson for Dallas’ scout team, preparing the Cowboys defense for what they could see vs. Jackson.

The Cowboys are coming off a bad loss in their home opener and the Ravens are off to an uncharacteristic 0-2 start.

Sometime in the days that followed the Ravens’ haunting 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, Lamar Jackson walked into an offensive team meeting looking to reinject life as if he were jump-starting a car battery.
