Dallas Cowboys: 5 Bold predictions vs. Chiefs in Week 11
By Randy Gurzi
The Dallas Cowboys will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. Here are five bold predictions for America’s Team in that contest.
At 7-2, the Dallas Cowboys are well in control of the NFC West, but they want more than that. As they enter Week 11, they’re looking to make a run at the No. 1 seed in the NFC — which just so happens to be the only team that winds up getting a postseason bye week under the new playoff format.
While their opponent this weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs, won’t be a factor in the NFC since they play in the AFC West, the Cowboys can still gain a lot of confidence by knocking off a team that has been to the Super Bowl the past two seasons.
Here w look ahead to that game and make five bold predictions as Dallas travels to Kansas City to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Dallas Cowboys bold prediction No. 5: Cowboys get a third punt block in as many games
In Week 9 against Denver, the Cowboys recorded a blocked punt as Malik Turner got through the line and made a huge play that they really needed. Then, tragedy struck for them as Nahshon Wright instinctively tried to catch the ball but when it bounced off his hands, it became a live ball and the Broncos scooped it up for a first down.
Wright got his redemption this past Sunday when Dorance Armstrong blocked an Atlanta punt and the rookie fell on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown.
As impressive as it was to see punts in consecutive games, look for Dallas to really pour it on and make it a hat trick as they once again break through the line and this time, block a Tommy Townsend kick to set their offense up for an easy score.
