2. Prescott goes without a touchdown pass again

Entering Week 6, the Dallas Cowboys were hoping to get back on the winning track before the New York Jets gave them a major wake-up call with a shocking upset.

All of a sudden, the Cowboys head into Sunday’s meeting against the Philadelphia Eagles losers of three games in a row, and if that streak increases to four, Dallas will officially be out of first place in the NFC East.

Plenty of factors came into play during last weekend’s loss in New York, and even though the outcome of the game wasn’t entirely his fault, it was frustrating to see Dak Prescott fail to score a single touchdown pass.

Most football fans are well aware just how much of a difference maker Prescott is when on top of his game for the Cowboys’ offense, and some even believe he could eventually work his way into the MVP conversation down the road, although there’s plenty of competition to top.

Looking at the current defense of the Eagles, it’s no secret the unit has been struggling big time in the cornerback department, and this would make it seem like Prescott will feast on the opportunity.

But if Amari Cooper is unable to play, this could give Philadelphia a major advantage on defense, and even worse for Dallas, put Prescott at risk to struggle for a second week in a row.
