The Dallas Cowboys are about to face one of the toughest stretches of their schedule beginning with the Kansas City Chiefs. Here are 3 bold predictions for that game.
It looked for a minute as though the NFL got their way, as everyone knew deep down the eventually would. Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott lost in court and his suspension was back on for the next six games. Of course for Dallas, that first game was against one of the best teams in the NFL — the Kansas City Chiefs.
Then in the 11th hour, Elliott got another reprieve and will be on the field this week. That helps Dallas tremendously, but this still isn’t a gimme for them as they face a great team on Sunday.
With a record of 6-2, the Chiefs come into AT&T Stadium with playmakers on both sides of the ball that can prevent huge problems for the Cowboys. Again, the game plan for Dallas will be to rely on a heavy dose of Elliott to keep the Chiefs offense watching this one rather than making big plays.
The biggest relief about Elliott’s return is the game won’t be all on the coaching staff to show what they can do. Faith may not have been high in that regard as this is the same staff that was ridiculed by team owner Jerry Jones for being able to coach their way to a victory when star quarterback Tony Romo was hurt back in 2015.
With their roster full and ready to roll, here are three bold predictions for their contest against the Chiefs.
