NFL Power Rankings: 49ers Losing Streak Ties a Franchise Record Entering Week 12
By Peter Panacy
What more can be said about Dallas Cowboys rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott?
Usually, it’s Elliott stealing the show with highlight-reel runs — and jumps — which makes him an easy candidate for the MVP of the league and not just Offensive Rookie of the Year.
But in the Cowboys’ Week 11 27-17 win over the Ravens, Prescott was the one who drew the majority of attention. He finished with a more-than impressive 27-of-36 line for 301 yards and three touchdowns. The rookie now has 17 passing touchdowns against only two picks.
Call him a system quarterback or just a guy surrounded by a great offense, there’s no doubting Prescott is doing everything he possibly can with a surging Dallas team showing no signs of slowing down.

The Cowboys’ remaining schedule isn’t necessarily easy. They host the 6-3 Redskins in a divisional bout in Week 12. And that game is followed up by back-to-back road games against the Vikings and Giants in Weeks 13 and 14, respectively.
Tampa Bay, Detroit and Philadelphia also pose decent threats to Dallas’ momentum.
Still, the Cowboys are rolling through everyone right now and there aren’t any signs they’ll slow down anytime soon.
