Patriots vs Cowboys live stream: How to watch NFL week 4 online today

The Patriots vs Cowboys live stream is coming up and it features a homecoming for one of Dallas’ all-time best. After seven years, 8,384 rushing yards and 68 touchdowns, running back Ezekiel Elliott was released by the Cowboys this past offseason and signed with the Patriots in August. Now the 28-year-old returns to where it all started for this NFL live stream 

Zeke’s rushing totals rank third in franchise history behind the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett, both Hall of Famers. “I don't know what I'm necessarily expecting…It’s definitely going to be weird,” Elliott told the Dallas Morning News, “but I think it's going to be a good experience."

This may be the best week for Zeke and the Patriots to roll into Dallas. They are coming off their first win of the season and individually, Elliott is coming off his best game of the season, running for 80 yards on 16 carries. The Cowboys run defense struggled last week in their first loss of the season, allowing Cardinals running back James Conner to rush for 98 yards and a season-high 7-yards-per-carry.  

The run defense wasn’t the only thing struggling for the Cowboys in that 28-16 loss in Arizona. Dak Prescott was unable to find a rhythm in the passing game completing just 25 of his 40 passes for 6.2 yards-per-completion. Those struggles have been a theme this year as Prescott ranks among the worst in the NFL with just 6.3 yards per attempt on the season. 

The Cowboys looked like a force through their first two games, jumping out to a 2-0 record and outscoring their opponents 70-10 in the process. For that, they relied on a defense that recorded seven turnovers and a touchdown and a special teams unit that accounted for 42 of the Cowboys' 86 total points. Their kicker, Brandon Aubrey has made an NFL-leading 10 field goals. 

The most consistent part of the Cowboys production, other than their kicker has been running back Tony Pollard, who Dallas felt confident in taking over for Elliott. Pollard has justified that decision as he is 5th in the NFL in rushing with 264 yards on two touchdowns. Last week he ran for 122 yards on 23 carries. 

Draft Kings has Dallas as 6-point favorites against New England. The over/under of 42.5.
