Dallas Cowboys Stud: Dak Prescott, Quarterback

Had there not been several plays called back, including the previously mentioned 44-yarder to Cedrick Wilson, Dak Prescott would have gone over 500 yards. As it stood, he still played out of his mind with 445 yards on 36-of-51 passing with three touchdowns.

Prescott did have an interception on a pass where he tried to fit the ball in with far too many defenders around Wilson, but outside of that throw, he was on fire. He played with great poise and confidence and didn’t let the continued issues on the offensive line keep him from securing a fifth win for his team.

As good as Dak was with his arm, he was equally impressive with his mobility. He finished with just 10 yards but it was more his ability to move in the pocket and buy time that stood out.

Dallas Cowboys Stud: CeeDee Lamb, Wide Receiver

CeeDee Lamb had the best game of his young career. The second-year wideout had 11 passes thrown his way and he pulled in nine of them for 149 yards with two touchdowns — and each of those was impressive.

The first score was a one-yarder where he caught the ball at the back end of the goal line. There was no room for error as Lamb hauled it in and drug his toes to barely stay in bounds. That gave Dallas their first lead of the evening, 17-14.

Then in overtime, Lamb did it again. On a seven-play, 80-yard drive, Lamb had three receptions for 56 yards. That included a walk-off touchdown as he took a Prescott pass 35-yards to the end zone to win the game for Dallas.

Now, the Cowboys enter their bye week and have a lot to be proud of. There’s some stuff to clean up as well, but they should be happy about how they stand after six weeks.
