Week 15 | Dallas Cowboys, No. 9
The Cowboys should score a ton of points this year. Quarterback Dak Prescott is playing for a contract extension and was one of the most statistically prolific quarterbacks last season. New head coach Mike McCarthy, with his new outlook on football, should theoretically be able to take off some of things holding the Cowboys’ offense back. Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb might be the best receiving trio in the NFL, and Ezekiel Elliott is a top-three running back. Their defense is questionable, but it may not matter because Dallas is primed to light up the scoreboard.
Key quote:
“Will new head coach Mike McCarthy expand from the rudimentary playbook concepts that often hindered Aaron Rodgers’ brilliance when McCarthy was Green Bay’s head coach? It’s a question that was often asked of Jason Garrett, McCarthy’s predecessor in Dallas, and you’d like to think the Cowboys are smart enough to avoid throwing Prescott into a different disaster.”
