The Dallas Cowboys have been playing near unconscious football as of late.
Over the past three weeks, Dallas has outscored its opponents by a whopping 90 points, including a 45-10 beatdown of the Washington Commanders on Thanksgiving. And the majority of its success on offense has come as a result of Dak Prescott’s stellar play.
