Dallas Cowboys: An offensive line that can move the Himalayas

There is so much for Dallas Cowboys fans to be thankful for. The Cowboys have the best record in the NFL at 9-1. They have two emerging superstars in rookies quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott. Even the once lousy Dallas defense is playing well.

Let’s be real for just one second. Dallas needs to be most thankful for this historically dominant offensive line of theirs. This Dallas front-five can move the Himalayas. It is that good.

It’s early, but the Cowboys might have three future Pro Football Hall of Famers on their offensive line: tackle Tyron Smith, guard Zack Martin, and center Travis Frederick. As long as Dallas has this outstanding offensive line, the Cowboys can contend for Super Bowls.

The only thing that is going to derail the Cowboys’ 2016 NFL season will be any damage to this offensive line. Being thankful for Dak and Zeke is fine and all, but realize that Frederick, Martin, Smith, and company are largely responsible for these rookies’ early NFL success.
