Dallas Cowboys: year two of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott

After a disastrous 2015 NFL campaign that saw the Dallas Cowboys finish with the worst record in the NFC, America’s Team are going to win their division in 2016. While great coaching and a historically dominant offensive line are a big part of why Dallas is so good this season, the future for the Cowboys is blinding bright because of their dynamic offensive rookies.

Quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott are already Pro Bowl-level players. While both might even garner some NFL MVP votes this season, look for the Cowboys to be even better on offense with them back in tote for stellar sophomore seasons in 2017.

These two rookies are the best of buds with great chemistry. We haven’t seen a quarterback/running back tandem with this kind of immediate connection in years. They’re already great players, but imagine how dominant Dallas can be if this duo grows in year two.

As long as Dallas has this offensive line playing this well, the Cowboys will be a perennial Super Bowl contender. But improvement in year two for both Elliott and Prescott could offset any downtick on the offensive line anyway. If the Cowboys offensive line stays elite and the rookies progress, the 2017 Cowboys will be overwhelming favorites to win Super Bowl 51 in Minneapolis.
