Jimmy Smith made a strong case to be Baltimore’s most valuable defensive player Sunday.
A back injury forced Smith into a spectator role, and the Ravens had no answer for prolific wide receiver Dez Bryant and the Dallas Cowboys’ passing attack without their top cornerback in the lineup.
With Smith out, cornerback Shareece Wright stepped back into the lineup after missing the last three games with a thigh injury, and corners Tavon Young and Jerraud Powers also got the start. Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott threw touchdowns in each of their directions while leading the Cowboys to a 27-17 victory.
