Why It Matters: Year 2 in Dallas did not get off to a smooth start for Pickens, who dropped two of the first four passes that were thrown his way, including one that would've gone for a huge gain. Pickens had a similarly forgettable performance in his Cowboys debut, posting a 4-30-0 line against the Eagles in last year's season opener, and then proceeded to score in each of his next five games. This was a "flush it and forget it" night for Pickens, who remains a solid WR2 for your lineup.
