Let’s be honest here: the reason why the Dallas Cowboys are even in playoff conversations is because of Dak Prescott. Despite playing on a team engineered for running attacks, the quarterback in Big D has been pretty stellar.
The function and success of the 2019 Dallas Cowboys were supposed to be launched by the rising defense and rushing scheme. So far, 11 games into the NFL season, both blueprints have failed. No. 4 has launched a banner year, bailing out failed parts, leading the team into contention.
This was supposed to be Ezekiel Elliott‘s spotlight, the $90 million man.
