123. . W, 26-24 vs. Lions. Previous: . Dallas Cowboys. 22. team

The Cowboys’ Week 4 home win over the Lions looked vintage Dallas from 2016, featuring an effective Dak Prescott at quarterback, tossing for 255 yards and two touchdowns with no turnovers.

Meanwhile, Ezekiel Elliott was absolutely on fire for the game, rushing for a whopping 152 yards on 25 carries and adding another 88 yards and a touchdown through the air.

Wondering what Dallas’ best two weapons are? Well, there you go.

Edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence continues to show why he’s one of the NFL’s best pass-rushers, picking up three sacks on the contest. The Cowboys defense will need him to continue his impressive pace to hold ground in the increasingly weird NFC East.
