4. Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys rolled into Detroit for their Week 11 matchup with more than a few questions from the previous week’s loss to the Vikings—at this point, each player may turn around to see if Jason Garrett is still there. And although the Lions aren’t precisely defensive wizards, it was undoubtedly one of those “Huh. Didn’t see that happening!” type of scenarios.
The Cowboys didn’t play the victims of their own undoing, though. Dak Prescott kept the passing attack progressing from Week 10, and Zeke helped exploit an evident Lions weakness in the run game.
Dak did face a bit of pressure from the edge, with Trey Flowers and Devon Kennard zeroing in on the Cowboys QB at times, but it wasn’t enough to be considered disruptive. And yes, even though sacks don’t make or break the offensive lines’ overall grade, that’s not to say you shouldn’t celebrate the fact the Cowboys squad only surrendered one all game.
Tyron Smith, La’el Collins, Cameron Fleming, Zack Martin, Xavier Su’a-Filo, and Travis Frederick: Solid effort, guys! And let me save you the neck turn—he’s still your coach.
