Prescott not fazed by Romo’s shadow
The Ravens countered with receiver Steve Smith, age 37. He did well against the Ravens, he had a 97-yard game and he had an incredible hurdle.
They might not get there soon.
It hasn’t affected Elliott’s generally cheery demeanor in the locker room – during the week or on game days. In other words, Dallas could save a lot of money by trading Romo before the next season begins. After a 27-17 win over the Ravens to make it 9 straight, the Dallas Cowboys have achieved their longest win streak in franchise history.
If he can’t turn it around soon, the Ravens may want to look for some fresh blood at the position in order to protect Joe Flacco, and also find some consistency in the running game. They ran waggles, bootlegs, unbalanced lines and reverses. It’s very hard to win nine straight games in the NFL. But Prescott has equally galvanized the Cowboys in return and has formed fantastic chemistry with the established stars on the team.
With Romo at the helm at the start of the 2015-2016 season, hopes were high. Eventually, it will come down to playmakers. In addition, the Ravens had a few special teams penalties. From the midway point of the second quarter, Dallas scored on all five of its possessions including drives of 92, 88 and 72 yards.
This might shock a lot of you out there, but the Cowboys are now ranked 13th in total defense and fifth in scoring defense. “Play actions, boots – they executed well”.
That’s because they have playmakers.
The Cowboys beat them anyway. Punter Sam Koch wasn’t able to pin the Cowboys inside the 5 on his first kick as the 49 yard punt rolled into the end zone.
New York’s front office and coaching staff knew when selecting Hackenberg in the second-round of the 2016 NFL Draft that he would need time to develop, but the decision to go with Fitzpatrick against the Patriots this weekend, surely sends a sign that they don’t believe Petty is ready to take the reins. Wilson became the first quarterback in franchise history to catch a touchdown, a ideal end-around pass from Baldwin to Seattle’s athletic QB as he ran down the left sideline and dove into the end zone to give the Seahawks a 23-7 lead.
Let’s ask Prescott. At his press conference Tuesday, Prescott downplayed the significance of the video. That didn’t stop Beasley from getting a touchdown. Or they just pounded the Ravens into submission with Elliott.
Yanda was key to the Ravens’ first scoring drive, creating space for Terrance West and Kenneth Dixon to rip off runs of 20, 16 and 18 yards. There is no Aqib Talib at cornerback.
The Cowboys improved to 9-1, the best record in the National Football League, with Sunday’s 27-17 win over Baltimore.
On a day in which he became the 14th player in National Football League history with 1,000 career catches, Ravens veteran Steve Smith made it a one-score game on a five-yard TD reception from Joe Flacco with 8:16 to play. It’s been that way for years now.
Dallas, Detroit, Minnesota, and Pittsburgh are among the six teams playing on Thanksgiving. He might deserve both awards, but there are still some games left, so we will see. “So, that’s what it boiled down to at the end”. “This is a really good team”.
