team. 123. It was impressive for a rookie quarterback to go into Lambeau Field and beat Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott are on pace to set many records this season, and they are doing it behind the best offensive line in football. With no Dez Bryant, Prescott found Cole Beasley in the end zone twice, and Elliott had over 150 rushing yards. Prescott did lose the ball three times, but made up for it in the end. An interception to Morgan Burnett ended the rookie’s streak of pass attempts without an interception. The Cowboys defense took advantage of four Green Bay turnovers, three of which were fumbles. <p>Next Week: Dallas will head into their bye week with a question that shouldn’t even be asked: who will start at quarterback? Jerry Jones has insisted that Tony Romo will play if he’s healthy, but Dak Prescott has been impressive thus far. Playing under the lights in Philadelphia may not be the place for Romo to make his first start of the season.</p> <p>Playoff hopes: The Cowboys sit atop the NFC East, but no one is completely out of the race just yet. Philadelphia can gain ground after their bye week, and will host Dallas in two weeks. This division is anyone’s for the taking, but for now the Cowboys hold a slight lead in the early race.</p>. 5-1.
