Dez Bryant Fights Through Ravens for Second Touchdown (Video)

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is on a roll, and the Baltimore Ravens didn’t have a chance at stopping him.

Following the first week of the regular season, some wondered if Dez Bryant wouldn’t get as many opportunities to put up big numbers with Dak Prescott at quarterback. The Dallas Cowboys elite wideout caught just one pass for eight yards in a close loss to the New York Giants.

Just one week later, Bryant went off for over 100 yards of receiving, completely disputing the idea that Prescott wouldn’t be as willing to hit him up for big plays.

Ever since Bryant returned from an injury earlier this season, he has been on fire. After carving up the Pittsburgh Steelers for 116 yards and a touchdown last week, Bryant put up monster numbers on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11.

Bryant scored his second touchdown reception of the day to lift the Cowboys to a 24-10 lead. The Ravens had been giving Prescott and Co. a scare with their solid defense, but they just couldn’t find any answers for Dez, who continues to assert himself as arguably the NFL’s best red zone weapon.

Both Bryant and Prescott saw that Jerraud Powers gave up a huge cushion and the quarterback hit up his star receiver on the slant route. The rest of the work was on Bryant’s shoulders, as he powered his way through the cornerback’s tackle attempt. Powers was on the receiving end of Ezekiel Elliott’s hurdle earlier in this game and now Bryant has also turned him into a poster.
