NFL Power Rankings Week 11
1. Dallas Cowboys -8-1
After seven lead changes, the Cowboys were able to pull off a 35-30 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Rookies continue to impress. Dak Prescott is starting to silence the questions of whether Tony Romo will get his starting job back.
Ezekiel Elliott won this game for the Cowboys. He rushed 21 times for 114 yards and two touchdowns and caught two receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown. With under two minutes left in the game, the Cowboys were trailing before Elliott broke free and ran it in for a touchdown.
The Steelers came back to take a 30-29 lead with 42 seconds left in the game. Again, Elliott found a hole up the middle for a 32-yard touchdown to seal the Cowboys victory. Prescott went 22-of-32 for 319 yards and two touchdowns.
The Cowboys defense stopped the Steelers four two-point conversion tries. They also sacked Roethlisberger once and forced a fumble. The Cowboys hold on to a two-game lead in the NFC East.
This week, the rookies will come up against the tough Ravens defense. The Cowboys have some breathing room in the NFC East, but will need to continue to win to claim the division.
