“He had some balls thrown at him, he wants to bring down and he’d say it himself he wants to bring that touchdown, make that play”. The mental toughness and pro skill that won Prescott preseason praise was on full display, as Prescott managed a 103.7 passer rating, putting the ball in the hands of each of his playmakers. Dallas will also look to get Ezekiel Elliott going who was quiet in his National Football League debut as well but against a Skins team that was absolutely torched by Deangelo Williams last weekend I think Elliott is due for one of those games we anticipated seeing out of the draft and into the preseason.

But unlike a week ago, the Cowboys kept hatching ways to get the ball to their No. 1 receiver, and kept trying him. In rushing, Matt Jones rushed for 24 yards in seven attempts while Chris Thompson added 23 yards and a touchdown in four carries. Remember last season there were reports that DeMarco Murray was alerting the Eagles defense to the Cowboys play calls ahead of time in his homecoming to AT&T Stadium.
