Dallas Cowboys. 1. team. 123. Dallas has had a remarkable season, complete with a phenom rookie running back, quarterback injuries, and the rise of another star rookie in Dak Prescott.

Smith saying that the Cowboys are “an accident waiting to happen.” With the NFC East already secured, the Cowboys host Detroit, a team looking to secure their own division title, on Monday Night Football. How much the Cowboys will play their starters is yet to be seen, although the coaches insist the starters will play. <p>Next Week: Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott will get their first taste of Philadelphia when the rookies travel to the City of Brotherly Love. Tough love will be in the air at The Linc, where the Eagles have won five games this season. Dallas has won four-straight games in Philadelphia, although the Eagles carry a similar record in Jerry World.</p> <p>Playoff hopes: Dallas has clinched the NFC East, and the road to the Super Bowl looks to run through Jerry World. Both Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott are used to playing in high-pressured situations from their collegiate days, but the NFL playoffs are a whole other monster.</p>. 12-2. Previous:
