The Dallas Cowboys roll through another highly ranked defense
The nine missed PATs (so far) in Week 11 are more than there were in the entire 2014 season, before the kick was moved back.
“The difference between this year’s team and last year’s team is that the Giants finally have the talent on defense to close out tight games”. The quarterback quickly was examined by the Cowboys’ medical staff, which tested his shoulder strength but found no issue.
The game Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens and their top-ranked defense was a potential pothole on the Cowboys’ improbable road to the postseason.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians did not want to discuss the officiating after his team’s 30-24 loss to the Vikings, but his son wasn’t shy about expressing his thoughts on one particular key play, firing off a tweet with an obscenity directed at the National Football League and its game officials. It was packed, barely moving at 10 a.m. I just keep focusing on the next play, the next call, and believing in the guys around me making plays or making blocks. It also keeps the team in front for home field advantage in the NFC throughout the playoffs with Seattle next in the conference at 7-2-1. “We got guys that are capable in here”. “They were physical and they game-planned really well”. The fans were loud and proud.
Despite the availability of Romo for the first time Sunday against Baltimore, the Cowboys stuck with the hot hand under center. The crowd was never quiet, even with the Cowboys held to 0 points in the first quarter.
It was unusual for many to see No. 9 going through pregame drills with the backups, and wearing a baseball cap along with an earpiece to follow the calls during the game. The Ravens were ranked number one against the run. If you play coverage, Elliott and the run game will gash you. He did well against the Ravens, he had a 97-yard game and he had an incredible hurdle.
Running back Ezekiel Elliott, the NFL’s leading rusher, broke the Dallas rookie record of 1,007 yards – set by Tony Dorsett in 1977 – as he collected 97 to go to 1,102 on the season. There are plenty of jokes we can make: Blair Walsh was probably smiling where ever he watched the game; Jason Licht and Mike Tomlin, too, as they look like visionaries – Tampa for drafting a second-round kicker and the Steelers for attempting two-pointers more than any other team in the NFL. You’re trying to stop [Cole] Beasley on third down and leaving [Bryant].
Though the Cowboys head coach didn’t seem to be as blown away by the trash video as everyone else was, he said the Cowboys have long seen how good Prescott’s character is.
And he joined Hall of Famer Dan Marino and Russell Wilson as the only first-year QBs since 1970 with multiple touchdown passes in five straight games.
Win again with the franchise’s all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns in uniform for the first time. They were going to blitz off the edges and rattle Prescott. He caught eight for a game-high 99 yards, including the 5-yard score and a toe-tapping gem for No. 999.
Redskins 42, Packers 24: In Landover, Maryland, Kirk Cousins went deep late and often, throwing for 375 yards and three touchdowns to lead Washington to a victory over free-falling Green Bay.
