It was not a pretty season for the Dallas Cowboys in 2017. After winning 13 games in 2016 and losing on a last-second field goal to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, all signs were pointing up for the Cowboys. Especially knowing that Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott would be on the field for the foreseeable future. After all, both players surpassed expectations in their rookie season.
Elliott was drafted fourth overall and was immediately thrust into being a focal point in the offense, but Prescott’s path was quite different. After Tony Romo suffered another back injury in the 2016 preseason, Prescott was asked to guide the Cowboys until the veteran quarterback returned.
