Dallas Cowboys. 1. team. 123. Dallas won yet again, extending their winning streak to a franchise-high 10 games. The rookie tandem of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott will fight each other tooth and nail for the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, although Elliott may have the upperhand. Once again it was a tight win for Dallas, trading blows with Washington in the fourth quarter. Jordan Reed’s return nearly ended the Cowboys winning streak, but Dallas was just able to hold on for the five-point victory. Credit to this coaching staff for working through all of the suspensions and injuries all season long. <p>Next week: The upcoming game will arrive quickly for Dallas as it travels to Minnesota for Thursday Night Football. The Vikings have been bloodied all season, and have little to no depth across the chart. This one could get ugly in Minnesota fast, and be a classic, one-sided Thursday night game.</p> <p>Playoff hopes: The road to the Super Bowl goes through Dallas in the NFC with the Cowboys holding a multi-game lead over Seattle for first place in the conference. With the NFC East practically wrapped up, the Cowboys have bigger plans in mind. Lombardi trophies will be dancing through Jerry Jones’ head this holiday season.</p>. 10-1. Previous:
