That stat line is extremely impressive for a rookie quarterback, especially one taken as the 135th pick in the fourth round 2016 NFL Draft, but it’s what Dak has shown behind closed doors that has everyone in the Dallas Cowboys’ locker room buzzing.

Asked if there is unfinished business with Dallas and whether the Giants have something to prove, especially on defense, defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul said: “Most definitely”. Rookie Dak Prescott, who has looked good during the preseason, will assume Romo’s role in the Cowboys’ starting lineup. We don’t have a situation on the 53 [man roster].
