ARLINGTON, Texas -- When the Dallas Cowboys lost Kellen Moore to a broken right fibula on Aug. 2, panic set in.
The Cowboys lost their only backup quarterback with any NFL experience -- and just three games at that -- and were left with Dak Prescott and Jameill Showers as the only on-roster possibilities to be Tony Romo’s No. 2.
Eighteen days later, the story has completely changed around the Cowboys’ backup quarterback position.
Prescott has simply been that good.
In Friday’s 41-14 win against the Miami Dolphins, the rookie completed 12 of 15 passes for 199 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
