NFL Power Rankings Week 10: Raiders Move up
2. Dallas Cowboys – 7-1
The Cowboys continue to dominate their opponents defeating the Cleveland Browns 35-10. Dallas has control over the NFC East leading by two games. Their lone loss is to the New York Giants, who are hot on their trails in the division.
Everyone is waiting for the rookies to mess up but they continue to impress week in and week out. This week, Dak Prescott went 21-of-27 for 247 yards and three touchdowns. Ezekiel Elliott rushed 18 times for 92 yards and two touchdowns.
Prescott now has the most passing yards and most passing touchdowns by a rookie in Cowboys history. This is the Cowboys’ best start since 2007. Tony Romo has been practicing and it is still unknown if he will reclaim his starting position. At this point, they should leave in Prescott unless he starts playing terrible.
This week, they face the 4-4 Pittsburgh Steelers. The record means nothing because the Steelers are always a good team. We will see how the rookies react to a Steelers defense that is usually good. This is going to be a tough game for both teams. We will see what the Cowboys are made of this week.
