Prescott, Cowboys reach 9-1
The offensive line received a grade of C+ and the running backs picked up a grade of B-.
Always meme “darlings”, the Cowboys remain interesting when winning, but not like when they’re bad. “There’s no worry in us not figuring things out”.
Prescott, a rookie who stepped in for injured Tony Romo and sparked the Cowboys to an NFL-best 9-1 start, completed 27 of 36 passes for 301 yards in a 27-17 home win over Baltimore.
But Dallas had scoring drives of 92 and 88 yards to start the second half, breaking a 10-10 tie.
Russell Wilson threw for 272 yards and a touchdown and, unusually, also caught a touchdown pass from Doug Baldwin – the first quarterback in the franchise’s history to do so. In a first half that was not looking very promising, the Cowboys couldn’t seem to get much going through the first quarter and most of the second.
The Ravens tried hard not to make excuses, but they also knew it was painfully obvious. It still didn’t matter. The Vikings are the first team since the 1962 Dallas Cowboys to have a 100+ yard interception-return touchdown and a 100+ yard kickoff-return touchdown in the same game. “It presents a tough challenge as a defense when you don’t have your best corner out there”.
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.
Oh, add another check: Prescott beat his third Super Bowl-winning quarterback of the season in the Ravens’ Joe Flacco.
“He’s giving me feedback, helping me out, and telling me things we need to do here and there”, Prescott said. For me, I have only witnessed only good season the Cowboys and that was in 2014.
Prescott has the second-most consecutive wins for a rookie quarterback in the Super Bowl era behind Ben Roethlisberger, who won 13 straight in 2004 and led the Steelers to the AFC championship game.
Finally mike graded the Special teams giving them a grade of B-, and the coaching staff received a grade of B+.
The Cowboys beat them anyway. Just handled himself the right way. It’s getting into historical levels.
Goff went 17 of 31 for 134 yards in a quiet debut by the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft. The streak might even continue as the season is not over yet. Brady needs one win to tie PEYTON MANNING (200) for the most all-time.
Win again with the franchise’s all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns in uniform for the first time.
ARLINGTON, Texas – Pick a situation, any situation, and Dak Prescott has figured it all out.
Two rookies-Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott-have been instrumental to the team’s success this season.
That’s helped Bryant mostly see one-on-one coverage the last two weeks.
Colin Kaepernick completed 16 of 30 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns for the 49ers (1-9), who matched a club record with their ninth consecutive loss. The Ravens were ranked number one against the run. In other words, this offense is special. We don’t know the answer but the National Football League, for all its faults, has accomplished one intended goal: making the extra point a more entertaining play – unless you ask the majority of National Football League coaches.
