Dak Prescott

Prescott, Cowboys Bounced Back With 28-17 Win Over Arizona

By:MICAH DISNEY | Staff Writer Published on: September 26, 2017 8:45 am Leave a Comment

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Dak Prescott threw for two touchdowns and flipped into the end zone on a 10-yard run for another and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Arizona Cardinals 28-17 on Monday night.

Before the game, Cowboys and outspoken owner Jerry Jones kneeled before the National Anthem, which drew boos from sections of the stands at the University of Phoenix Stadium.

Members of both teams then stood in separate locations in a locked-arm anthem protests.

“We planned and it was executed that we would go out and kneel,” Jones said.

“Basically make the statement regarding the need for unity and the need for equality.”

Even pop star Jordin Sparks, who sang the national anthem, had a message. Hers was written on her hand and it was “PROV 31:8-9”

The bible verse read: “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

ACTION ON THE FIELD

When play got underway on the field, Jaron Brown scored on a 25-yard pass from Carson Palmer to give the Cardinals the lead midway through the first quarter.

However, the Cowboys (2-1) answered back when shortly before the halftime break when Prescott finished off a 10-yard run with a head over heels flipped into the end zone with 1:11 left in the second quarter.

The third quarter ended 14-14 after Prescott found Dez Bryant with a 15-yard scoring pass for Dallas and Carson Palmer mirrored that distance when he found Larry Fitzgerald to knot the game.

Prescott and the Cowboys then pulled away in the fourth quarter after Brice Butler pulled down a 37-yard pass inside the end zone and Ezekiel Elliott ran home from 8-yards to polish off the game, as the travelers outscored Arizona 14-3 in the last quarter.

Prescott finished 13 of 18 for 183 yards without an interception, while Butler took two catches for 90 yards and his TD and Elliott ran for 80 yards and his TD for Dallas, which bounced back from the 42-17 defeat to Denver in Week 3.

“He just kept battling,” Dallas coach Jason Garrett said of his QB.

“He kept making good decisions. Obviously he made some good plays, big-time throws, but as much as anything else he’s got an amazing spirit and our players follow him.”

Meanwhile, Carson Palmer went 29 of 48 for 325 yards and two touchdowns for the Cardinals (1-2), who outgained Dallas 332-273, but had only 49 rushing yards.

“There running game was dependent on me,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said, as he took the blame.

“I loved what we had passing the ball. We just had to protect better.”

Larry Fitzgerald collected 13 of 15 targets to tie a career high for receptions for 149 yards and a touchdown and Jaron Brown also had a scoring reception for Arizona in the defeat.

“That’s Fitz. It’s Monday night,” Arians said. “He’s a money player.

“It was a great performance by him. It’s a shame we couldn’t play better around him.”

2016 NFL MVP Leaders: Carr Still Pacing The Pack

By:Look Around Published on: December 8, 2016 10:16 am Leave a Comment

MIAMI, FL – There are a substantial amount of contenders in the race to win the NFL MVP award.

However, there are two current standouts that are setting themselves apart from the field.

It has been a tight race for a large portion of the term and this will most likely continue as the regular season begins to wind down.

Early Leaders Heading Into Week 14

Two of leading candidates for the league’s prestigious individual award, based on effective performances this season, are Derek Carr of the Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys rookie Ezekiel Elliott, who is third on the voting list but the highest none quarterback.

Carr Getting The Top Picks

Based on this season, Carr’s performance easily qualifies him for the Most Valuable Player Award.

The fact that he’s been at his best at the most pivotal moments, is a strong indication he’s MVP material.

Carr has helped lead his team to victory in five games in which they have trailed in the fourth quarter.

The 25-year-old has come through for the Raiders during tough situations all year and the pundits believe the former Fresno State QB has to be given the edge because he’s been doing his damage with far fewer weapons than some of the other candidates.

Carr, in his third season in the NFL, has now won as many games this year as he did in his first two seasons combined, stays the stats gurus.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, the quarterback has masterminded ten game-winning drives in the 4th quarter or overtime in the last two seasons, which ties him with Matthew Stafford for most in the NFL during that period.

At the same time, though, Carr’s overall numbers don’t standout with the other MVP-candidate quarterbacks, which could affect him further down the stretch.

Several football analysts also maintain that Carr is the second-most valuable player on his own Raiders team, behind pass-rusher Khalil Mack.

But with eight first-place votes, which values five points each, it’s easy to see how Carr’s managed to build such a dominant lead.

Elliott, 3rd In Points, But Another Strong MVP Applicant

Following Carr, who has tallied 55 points, is Tom Brady, who is trailing by 23 points, but Ezekiel Elliott, the rookie running back for the Dallas Cowboys, needs to be watched closely.

As many would guess, Elliott is the leading skills player in the race for the award, with four of the top five candidates being quarterbacks.

What sets Elliott apart, first of all, is that he has a stellar offensive line that many think should be the league’s MVP.

However, the award isn’t given to a group of players.

In terms of standout stats thus far, Elliot has 71 rushing first downs, which is 18 more than any other player in the league.

The former Ohio State tailback is also averaging 4.9 yards a carry and is also the only player in the NFL with at least 10 runs of 20 yards or more.

Elliott is leading the NFL in rushing yards with 1,285, which is 242 more than second place and has raced home for 12 touchdowns.

As with Carr, football pundits and experts believe the running back is being hampered by the impressive performances of fellow Cowboys rookie Dak Prescott, who he’s been splitting votes with.

Rounding out the top 5 in ESPN’s NFL MVP Poll results were: Brady of the New England Patriots, who is sitting second in the voting with 32 points, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (24) and Prescott (15).

NFL MVP Poll Top Five

Derek Carr QB Raiders (55)
Tom Brady QB Patriots (32)
Ezekiel Elliott RB Cowboys (27)
Matthew Stafford QB Lions (24)
Dak Prescott QB Cowboys (15)
Matt Ryan QB Falcons (10)

Week 12 NFL Scores; Cowboys Win Again: Nov. 24

By:MICAH DISNEY | Staff Writer Published on: November 25, 2016 9:09 am Leave a Comment

ARLINGTON, Texas — Ezekiel Elliott ran for a pair of scores, fellow rookie Dak Prescott accounted for two touchdowns, and the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Washington Redskins 31-26 on Thursday for their 10th straight win this season.

Dynamic Rookies Lead Cowboys Again

Prescott completed 17 of 24 passes for 195 yards and ran for another score in the fourth quarter with 39 yards, while running back Elliott carried the ball 20 times for 97 yards for Dallas (10-1) which extended its franchise regular-season record with another win.

“We have high expectations for ourselves on offense,” Prescott said. “We obviously want to score on every possession and they gave us some scoring chances late.

“No matter if we’re up or down, we’re going to go out there and score and I think we’ve shown that the last couple of weeks,” added Prescott, who found Terrance Williams for a touchdown in the second quarter.

Prescott was impressive again in the fourth quarter on Thursday after missing just one of his passes to help the Cowboys end a two-game Thanksgiving losing streak.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, the Dallas Cowboys young quarterback is 30 of 33 for 325 yards, with 2 touchdown passes and 1 rushing TD in his last 11 fourth quarter and overtime drives.

“Over time, you keep running the football, you’re going to wear them down,” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said.

“He made some big runs late that were critical. It really broke their back.”

Bryant and Norman Clash

Meanwhile, Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant, who battled throughout the game with Redskins cornerback Josh Norman caught 5 of his 7 targets for 72 yards.

The pair battled throughout the game and were warned numerous times by officials but it didn’t stop there.

After the game Bryant went to search for Norman and that led to the two players having to be separated during a scuffle on the field.

Bryant, who made one of the biggest catches for the Cowboys to help set up a fourth quarter touchdown, called Norman soft after the game and said the Redskins should go get their money back.

“First off, Washington needs to get their money back from Josh Norman,” Bryant told reporters after the game.

“I didn’t make it personal,” Bryant said. “I was just going to come out and do my job and that’s exactly what I did.

“He wanted to bump and me and him got to bumping a little bit and it just made me attack him even more. I honestly feel like the guy is extremely soft.

“He’s a bunch of talk. If he was out and about, I wouldn’t dare on my life let him talk to me like that.

“Those words would never come out of his mouth. I promise. I promise it wouldn’t. We got after that ass and it was a hell of a win. It feels good.”

The Cowboys led 17-6 at halftime, but Washington managed to cut the deficit to 24-19 with 9:22 left in the game.

However, Elliott ran for a one-yard score to open back up the lead and the visitors failed in their late comeback push.

Cousins Has Impressive Day In Defeat

Quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 41 of his 53 passes for 449 yards and three touchdowns for the Redskins (6-4-1).

“We pulled within striking distance a couple of times, but the way Dallas was able to come back and score says a lot of how good of a football team they have and why they’re leading out division,” Cousins told reporters.

“We know as an offense, that the job’s the same and we need to put points on the board and manage it well.

Jordan Reed caught two touchdown passes for 95 yards and DeSean Jackson finished with 118 receiving yards and a score in the defeat for Washington.

Cousins and the Redskins will be off for 10-days before the second of three straight road games in Arizona on Dec. 4.

The upcoming stretch will be vital.

“We’ve been in third place for a while, so we have to understand where we are what it’s going to take to get an opportunity to come back here in the future,” Washington coach Jay Gruden said.

“The last five games of the year are critical.”

Meanwhile, in the other two games on Thanksgiving, Matt Prater kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired to help the Detroit Lions to a 16-13 win over the Minnesota Vikings, while Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown helped the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Indianapolis Colts 28-7.

Watch, Follow Cowboys v Redskins: Thanksgiving Football 2016

By:MICAH DISNEY | Staff Writer Published on: November 24, 2016 11:49 am Leave a Comment

DALLAS, Sporting Alert – Dallas Cowboys put their impressive season streak on the line when they host the Washington Redskins at AT&T Stadium on Thanksgiving.

The Cowboys are 9-0 since losing to the New York Giants in the opening game of the season and ESPN’s Football Power Index gives them a 73 percent chance to win 10 straight games and improved to 10-1 overall this term.

Thanksgiving Day game picks: NFL.com

Dallas, which owns the NFL best record at the moment, is being led two rookies and an offense line that should be rewarded for making life easy for the league’s dynamic offensive newbies.

So far this season, rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott has carried that ball 223 times for 1,102 yards with nine touchdowns, while fellow rookie quarterback Dak Prescott has passed for 2, 640 yards and 17 touchdowns with two interceptions.

Both players have been seriously mentioned in the early MVP discussions but the pundits believe the Cowboys’ offense line is what should be rewarded for the club-record winning streak.

Dallas, which is coming off a 27–17 victory against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, will take on a Washington (6-3-1) side that is looking to avenge the 27-23 defeat it suffered in Week 2 at home on Sep 18.

The game is a quick turnaround for both teams, but Prescott is excited about playing in his first Thanksgiving game as a pro.

He noted that he will need to remember to eat late on the day.

“I’m excited about it. I have never done this before, to respond real quick and play another game,” Prescott said.

“But I love ball, and I love these games. I’m excited for it and I’m looking forward to it.”

If the Cowboys manage to complete the season sweep of the Redskins on Thanksgiving, they would match their only 10-1 start in franchise history with came in 2007 when they finished 13-3 in the regular season.

However, veteran receiver Dez Bryant, who should be fine to play despite a back problem, isn’t getting too carried away.

“We’re taking it one game at a time and focusing on what’s happening at that moment,” said Bryant, who has five touchdown catches, but is questionable with a back injury. “We’re not looking too far ahead.”

The Redskins, who are defending NFC East champions, have not been beaten in the last three outings, winning two games and playing to a 27-27 overtime tie with the Cincinnati Bengals in the other.

In Week 11, quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 375 yards and found three different receivers for touchdowns, while Robert Kelley ran for 137 yards and three scores in Washington’s 42-24 flogging of the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Cousins and Co. head to Arlington, Texas, in a buzzing mood and ESPN First Take’s Stephen A. Smith is predicting an upset win for the visitors.

Prescott, Elliott The New Faces Of Dallas Cowboys?

By:MICAH DISNEY | Staff Writer Published on: October 17, 2016 1:34 pm Leave a Comment

DALLAS, Sporting Alert – The Dallas Cowboys beat the Green Bay Packers in the NFL on Sunday for their fifth win in a row, but what does the future holds for rookie quarterback Dak Prescott.

Prior to the kick-off on Sunday, the experts and pundits barely gave Dallas (1-5) a look and predicted that Prescott would have struggled against Green Bay’s defense.

However, the inform quarterback overcame all doubts to deliver yet another impressive performance at the historic Lambeau Field in the 30-16 win over the Packers.

Prescott went 18 of 27 for 247 yards and three touchdowns and bounced off two fumbles and an interception for the Dallas Cowboys in the win.

STILL NOT YOURS DAK

Despite his performances this season so far, though, Prescott is still not guaranteed the starting place at the QB position when the injured Tony Romo returns.

In fact, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones still insists Romo will be the club’s starting quarterback when he returns to full fitness.

“Tony is our No. 1 quarterback,” Jones said. “We’re going to have the luxury of being able to, I think, see them both.

“I don’t want to presume that Dak is going to be necessarily healthy, I don’t want to presume anything like that.

“But I welcome the opportunity of having Dak playing at this level and Tony back in excellent health. It’s going to be really special for the Cowboys.”

ELLIOTT SETTING RECORD

Meanwhile, according to Elias Sports Bureau, running back Ezekiel Elliott is the first rookie to have 4 straight 130-yard rushing games.

Elliott carried the ball 28 times and finished Sunday’s game with 157 yards.

The former Ohio State Buckeyes standout achieved his feat against a Green Bay Packers defense that had not allowed a runner to gain more than 39 yards this season.

This is rather impressive.

With the immediate rise of both Elliott and Prescott, Jones can’t help but to admit that they have become the new faces of the Dallas Cowboys.

Will the insertion of Romo break the flow should be returns after Dallas’ bye week against the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 30?

WISCONSIN 23, No. 23 USC 21
