The Cowboys (4-1) have put together a very impressive start to the season. Their offensive output of 34 points-per-game is only outdone by Buffalo Bills. Both Dallas’ passing game and run game are coming together this year to give opposing defenses problems that they have yet to solve.
Dak Prescott has shown no lingering effects from last year's season ending ankle injury suffered in week five against the Giants. In fact, last week Dak beat that New York team and said after the game, "I'm glad it's over with, I'm glad I'm past the [injury] and I think this was the final shovel in burying the [injury]." Prescott is second in the NFL in passer rating (122.9) and completion percentage (73.9), while also coming in third in passing touchdowns (13).
Dallas’ ground game is back to where it was a few years ago, ranked second in the NFL, only behind the Browns. Ezekiel Elliott is really starting to march the ball down the field with back-to-back 100-yard games. He is third in the NFL with 452 rushing yards and tied for second with five rushing TDs. Doesn’t hurt the run game that the Cowboys also have two of Pro Football Focus’ three highest rated offensive linemen in right guard Zach Martin and left tackle Tyron Smith.
