Cowboys Clinch Playoff Spot After Redskins Loss
The Giants have a tough schedule the rest of the way starting this Sunday with division leader Dallas Cowboys followed by the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins.
With their victory over the Rams on Sunday, the Patriots ensured themselves of their 14th consecutive season with at least 10 wins, the second-longest such streak in league history.
Right now, they are in position.
“Absolutely”, Cruz said. “Any time you beat a team, and that’s the only loss they have on their record, it’s definitely an advantage of some sort mentally”.
Prescott’s first start in place of injured Tony Romo wasn’t necessarily rookie-like.
Prescott completed 25 of 45 passes for 227 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in the 20-19 setback. When you lack the surefire, go-to play and the brawn to execute it, play-calls aren’t automatic, and that leads to some skewed thinking. Quarterback Dak Prescott, the Cowboys’ other rookie standout, is also a threat with five rushing touchdowns to go along with his 19 scores through the air. Dallas had season lows in points, yards and first downs along with penalties that contributed to just one third-down conversion in nine tries.
Putting points on the scoreboard on a possession is great, but there is a reason a touchdown and extra point is worth more than twice what a field goal is. McAdoo seems resigned to this incompetence, recently saying, “We are who we are”.
While it hasn’t been easy for Romo to remain on the sidelines, he has accepted that role.
“Yeah, we’re just focused on Wednesday”, he said. “Absolutely, on the Giants or not on the Giants, you have to respect that, ” Beckham said. Below, I provide my three keys to the game in this Week 14 Preview.
“And now we can turn the page and move on”. He thinks Prescott has much better command of the offense.
The Giants have evolved into a team that relies on its defense, specifically its strong front four – now minus Jason Pierre-Paul – and its ability to win close games. “They’ve always kind of come at you in waves”. Recently Dallas Morning News columnist Rick Gosselin was asked about the team’s options and his take on the issue.
The San Francisco 49ers are not going to the playoffs this season (or probably anytime soon), but we can still keep track of the rest of the National Football League playoff picture.
Get Everyone Involved in the Offense: The Giants have struggled to get all of their playmakers involved in the offense recently.
“JPP is an X-Man”. Cowboy fans all over the world are chomping at the bit for their team to not only become relevant again but to reclaim their title as “America’s Team” and become an#NFL dynasty once again. “Dude came back from blowing his hand off in four months”. “Obviously these are big, big football games for him”. “I’m happy to see that he’s finally getting back to being a little more himself. We know that. The more experience he gets doing what we do against the different defensive looks help him get better”.
