#NoDaysOff: Cowboys Practice Sunday While Rest of NFL Plays

Prescott, a fourth-round draft pick who has supplanted Tony Romo, threw for a TD and ran for another on Thanksgiving.

“I have tons of confidence in myself, this team, and the coaching staff”, Prescott said. “But by him being so smart, I know he’s old”. Rather than playing a unit that, quite frankly, doesn’t belong in the National Football League, the Browns could’ve started a line that included Mack, Schwartz and top-tier tackle Joe Thomas playing in front of both Prescott and Elliott. He’s the best player on the team in the AFC with the best record.

The age-defying 38-year-old cornerback was listed as a full participant in practice on Tuesday, and the Vikings could use all hands on deck against the potent offense the league-leading Cowboys (10-1) will bring.

But if you squint, you can see one area that could become somewhat concerning. The word on the street was he may develop into a very good backup, but there were doubts he would ever be a winning starter. He was also sacked once.

The running game is virtually non-existent for the Lions as they rank near the bottom in the league with a dismal 80 yards per game average, which makes what Stafford is doing all that more impressive. He also lost a fumble.

Redskins miss potential turnover: The Cowboys were on the move in the second quarter, but a deflected pass should’ve been intercepted by the Redskins. It’s a truly remarkable run they are on, and it appears they could still possibly get better. “You always want to get off to a fast start, but it’s all about the end results”.

“The momentum is real for us right now”.

Prescott is an intelligent player who takes well to coaching and was quick to learn and retain.

There couldn’t be a more stark contrast in the level of play and the success and failure that the two offensive lines have had, which has been the primary difference between what the Cowboys have been able to accomplish and what the Vikings haven’t been able to do. To say Matt Stafford and Dak Prescott are having MVP-type years is an understatement.

“I think we’ve been through the toughest part of it, that four day stretch where we had to turn around and play”, said Ezekiel Elliott. “We can’t get comfortable”, receiver Dez Bryant said about the 10-game winning streak. “It couldn’t be more important for our football team”. However if the Cowboys win, they will be 4-1 in the division and will most likely make their Week 17 matchup against the Eagles meaningless.

So, perhaps it’s not time to panic just yet. However he’s slowly falling off the pace to surpass Eric Dickerson’s rookie rushing record (1,808 yards) and has failed to crack 100 three of the last four weeks â?? though he’s surpassed 90 in every case, so this is a bit of a nitpick. Let that marinade. Two interceptions in 11 games for a rookie quarterback.

The last rookie quarterback to do what Prescott has done is Ben Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger won 13 consecutive games as a rookie with Pittsburgh in 2004.

But that Steelers team was carried by its defense and running game.

Prescott had 176 pass attempts before his first interception. Maybe Prescott and Elliott will prove to be one-hit wonders, while Kessler establishes himself as the franchise player the Browns have searched for since 1999.
