In their icey-white uniforms, the Cowboys first offensive drive froze after a heavy dosage of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. The Josh Dobbs-led Titans offense had no answer after the slow start from Dallas and quarterback Dak Prescott got back to work.
Prescott kicked off the second drive with a pair of throws to tight end Dalton Schultz for 22 yards before a big third down approached. A week after his coming-out party, wide receiver T.Y. Hilton flashed for a conversion, wide open near the sideline. Alongside the timely completions, running back Ezekiel Elliott did what he does best, driving through the pile into the endzone to take an early 7-0 lead in Nashville.

Elliott has scored a touchdown in nine straight games and he’s up to 12 on the season. Dallas flushed out the first drive and marched down against an undermanned Titans defense for a touchdown lead.
