NFL Week 10 preview — Second-half questions; Cowboys offense, Dolphins defense, 49ers ceiling, and more

The second half of the NFL season begins this week, and with it comes a raft of questions for likely or potential playoff teams. What does the Cowboys offense look like against a real defense? Can the Dolphins defense be simply good enough to make them legitimate AFC title contenders? What's the ceiling for the 49ers' offense? And what's behind the occasional duds for the Chiefs' offense? With Nate Tice out this week, The Read Optional's Ollie Connolly joins Robert Mays to answer those questions, and a whole lot more, on the Week 10 preview episode of The Athletic Football Show.
