Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins hasn’t started the season playing close to the level he ended previous year.

Much to his credit, Prescott is also aware of this reality, and is not concerned about what it means for himself when Romo returns.
The Bears were 6-10 past year so it’s not like even their most optimistic fans had Super Bowl aspirations in 2016.
With turnover-free rookie quarterback Dak Prescott, the Dallas Cowboys are already in better shape than they were without Tony Romo in the early part of last season. And he became the starter when Romo broke a bone in his back in the third preseason game at Seattle. “I wanted to scream, jump up and down and all around”.
“I’ve got great coaching, an unbelievable coaching staff, great teammates who pick me up every day I come in”, Prescott said.
Prescott completed 22 of 30 passes for 292 yards and scored his first National Football League touchdown on a six yard run.
A week ago, following a 20-19 season opening victory over the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants somehow found themselves down three spots in the USA Today power rankings.
Jason Garrett said, “So, they challenge you in a lot of different ways, and they were moving the ball, and our defense did a really good job of really bearing down in the red zone forcing them to kick field goals”. Romo’s current health status will be weighed heavily before the team play the Philadelphia Eagles. “Guys see that and respond to that”. Not only has he put up these unimpressive numbers, but he is doing it despite the team’s elite receiving corps.
By not scoring touchdowns, the Dallas defense is being asked to do more reacting and less attacking, which is not the plan.
Jones’ clear declaration can’t stop talk of a quarterback controversy because that particular cow burst out of the barn mere seconds after Romo was injured, but what it does do is relegate the talk to mere speculation as opposed to actual possibility.
“It was major”, Durant said. Elliot is in a prime position to develop into a top-tier runner, but mistakes are going to occur for the young back over the course of his rookie year. You can feel the air in the locker room. And the other two guys are pretty darn good as well. “Competitive greatness is finishing well in times of adversity and that was definitely a time for us to make a play”. The Cowboys quarterback has no touchdown passes, but does have a touchdown run. Washington is 0-4 against the spread against a team with a winning record, 4-10-1 against the spread in week 3, and 5-11 against the spread after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.

With that said, we begin “Rival Watch”. “We definitely needed this. Now we can relax”. It would have torn us apart mentally.
