21. Dallas Cowboys

First off, the Dallas Cowboys must be thrilled to see Dak Prescott break the 200-yard passing mark against the Detroit Lions when looking at how long it had been for the quarterback, which will hopefully help his confidence level moving forward. Even though this season was a bit different since he lost both Dez Bryant and Jason Witten, the Cowboys have been trying to remain patient with Prescott after he took a major step back during his sophomore campaign last season.

Eventually, Prescott is going to need one of the younger receivers to step up in the passing game, and be more consistent so the quarterback isn’t feeling nearly as much pressure each time under center. But on a positive note, at least the presence of Ezekiel Elliott helps Prescott in a big way since Dallas knows how much of a workhorse he can be each week.

Watching Elliott finish with 240 yards from the line of scrimmage to go along with a score during the team’s win over the Lions is the kind of production that is going to put the Cowboys in better position to win games. Crossing 200+ yards each game seems unlikely, but that’s not going to stop from Elliott from at least trying.
