Dallas Cowboys. 1. team. 123. . 10-1.

What more could be said about the Dallas Cowboys this season?

With the Seahawks losing this week, Dallas’ hold on the No. 1 seed in the NFC looks all the more stronger. And there’s no reason to drop the Cowboys in NFL power rankings this week after their impressive 31-26 victory over the upstart Redskins on Thursday.

Quarterback Dak Prescott continues to dazzle. So does running back Ezekiel Elliott, who managed 97 yards and two touchdowns during the game.
