Dallas Cowboys: 5 Bold predictions vs. Chiefs in Week 11
By Randy Gurzi
Dallas Cowboys bold prediction No. 4: Michael Gallup tops 100 yards
For the first time since Week 1, Michael Gallup was back on the field for the Cowboys. A knee injury suffered against Tampa Bay sent him to the IR for several weeks but once he was on the field again, he found himself right back in the action.
While CeeDee Lamb led the way with 94 yards and two touchdowns on six receptions, Gallup did have more than his fair share of chances to have an impact. In his first game back, he had five receptions for 42 yards and it could have been even more.
Gallup was targeted on a third-down play where he ran a slant pattern and Dak Prescott put the ball on his hands, and there was room to run. No. 13 should have been off to the races but he instead dropped the ball and went to the sidelines frustrated with himself.
The good news is, Dallas still won easily. Also, Gallup looked comfortable in his first game back and should be even more so in Week 11. That’s why the Chiefs could get burned by him, especially if they focus too much on Amari Cooper and Lamb — which is easy to do.
With that potentially being the case, this prediction is that Gallup has his best game of the season, going for more than 100 yards while not dropping a single pass.
