Cowboys rookies Ezekiel Elliott, Dak Prescott make Pro Bowl; seven Raiders selected

“And I’m so proud of the Dallas Cowboys right now – these boys are on their way to try and accomplish one of these three [Lombardi Trophies] you see behind me right now”. They would only be in trouble if Atlanta and Green Bay both win out as well, in which case the Falcons would be division champs and the Packers and New York Giants (who are 10-4 and can not be caught by the Bucs even if they both finish at 10-6) would be the two wild-cards. Under that scenario, the Redskins would finish, at worst, 9-6-1, while the Bucs and Packers could get to only 9-7. The Cowboys just need to win one more game to clinch the NFC East, and if they win that game, they will also have a first-round bye in the playoffs. The point being: NY is in terrific shape, having won eight of its past nine games. Last season, they were 6-6 with an outside shot at making the playoffs.

“I can’t say enough good things about Dak and the way he’s responded”, said tight end Jason Witten.

On the second drive, a face mask penalty on Doug Free put them behind the chains and forced them to settle for a field goal. Despite leading the Dallas Cowboys on an 11-game win streak, rumblings of a possible benching for Prescott were inevitable after he finished a loss with a 45.4 passer rating.

While power rankings aren’t exactly reliable or accurate, they do give us a view of how National Football League analysts and observers see teams. Two wins will give Dallas their first 14-2 season in franchise history.

Irving had two sacks, and perhaps more important, five quarterback hurries in the Cowboys’ 26-20 victory before 93,101 spectators at AT&T Stadium.

Dallas has a tough game in Week 16. Still, a playoff team keeps winning. They escaped a week five matchup with the Panthers (5-8) on a last-second field goal by Roberto Aguayo.

Cowboys rookies back to their best, delivering a critical blow to Tampa’s play-off chances. They’re in control (unlike Detroit in the NFC North). At New Orleans and home to Carolina.

The secondary has been playing good football, and have produced four INTs in the last two weeks.

Now, the Buccaneers have drawn a few penalties that have aided them inside the red zone, too, but the Buccaneers have had to work their way back from almost half a dozen costly penalties of their own during their most recent six-game span. That’s not a big deal for a lot of kickers, but when you’re Dan Bailey – it’s outside the norm.

Early in the process, Elliott and Prescott were the overall leaders in fan voting, which counts for one-third of all voting criteria. Irving was the NFC Defensive Player of the Week after he had three forced fumbled, a fumble recovery, a sack and a pass deflection in a 30-16 win over the Green Bay Packers and All-Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers on October 30. In fact, the Bucs have already beaten both of them this season. He never stopped smiling as he answered questions from reporters, and credited Marinelli for his breakout performance. You can jump into the stands in Green Bay, but you can’t jump into a Salvation Army bucket in Dallas.
