Dak Prescott’s 301 yards, 3 TDs help Cowboys win 9th straight
Not getting caught up it may become their greatest challenge.
The Dallas Cowboys rolled to a franchise-record ninth straight win in the National Football League as Dak Prescott led them to a 27-17 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The former Super Bowl champions came into the game with the best run defense, and the Dallas Cowboys offensive line managed to look as dominant as they have all season long. For me, I have only witnessed only good season the Cowboys and that was in 2014.
“There’s no worry in us not figuring things out”, said Prescott.
Tannehill passed for 172 yards in the fifth straight victory for the Dolphins, who were dominated by the Rams’ defense until their final two drives on a rainy day at the Coliseum. Prescott hit Dez Bryant on a 4-yard TD pass to end the drive that took 5:49 off the clock, and was a lengthy 92-yard drive that took 10 plays. He attended the funeral Saturday in Lufkin, Texas, then caught six passes for 80 yards against the Ravens roughly 24 hours later. His father, McArthur “Mac” Hatton, died November 12, the day before the Cowboys played at Pittsburgh.
BLOCKING CAROUSEL: The Ravens protected Flacco well (one sack) and averaged 6.3 yards per carry in limited chances in the running game. “He did that last week and he did it again today”. The Reason I’m shocked well they aren’t doing that well with a 5-4 record and their fan base doesn’t travel like other teams.
I am not even going to go into the performance of sensational rookie quarterback Dak Prescott or running back Ezekiel Elliott.
The game Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens and their top-ranked defense was a potential pothole on the Cowboys’ improbable road to the postseason. “That’s not the first time we’ve seen that”.
Honestly, I was a little anxious while watching the first half that this was the game that we finally see Prescott unravel, but to his credit he stood in there and finished strong.
“We knew we would wear them down”, Prescott said.
“We should beat this team”, Flacco said.
Brady completed 24 of 40 passes for 280 yards and four touchdowns while LeGarrette Blount rushed for 124 yards on 19 carries. He needed three catches coming in. 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.
Bell finished with a season-high 146 yards rushing. The Seahawks are third after Sunday, but Oakland could have something to say about that if they can get a big win on Monday night against Houston.
Almost 5 minutes into the second quarter, quarterback Dak Prescott had completed only four of 10 passes for 31 yards. A 41-yard bomb from Prescott to Bryce Butler down the sideline set up first-and-goal.
Ryan Tannehill’s 9-yard touchdown pass to DeVante Parker with 36 seconds remaining lifted Miami over host Los Angeles 14-10.
Baltimore returns home to face division foe Cincinnati next week.
Baltimore’s loss allowed Pittsburgh to go level at the top of the AFC North at 5-5 after a 24-9 rout of the winless Cleveland Browns, who are now 0-11.
“I am going to continue to stay away from it”, said ever-optimistic Dallas owner Jerry Jones, who’s been known to engage in Super Bowl talk in the past.
