When Bill Belechick sits down with his coaches this week to game plan stopping the Cowboys, I believe their first concern will be stopping Dak Prescott.
For 4 years now, most opposing defensive coordinators have adopted the strategy, “Take Zeke away and make Dak beat us.” Well after 10 games this year, Dak Prescott has proven to be this team’s MVP and the reason they are still competing for the playoffs. Dak has almost buried the idea that the key to beating the Cowboys is to take away the running game with his strong performance this year.
In fact Dak joined the record book owned only by Joe Montana and Peyton Manning this week with his 4th passing game of 375 yds and at least 2 TDs in the same season. (Montana had 4, Peyton had 6) Dak is this offense’s number one weapon.
I don’t know if the Cowboys will be able to run on the pats. But I look for Belechick to place a huge emphasis on his D stopping number 4. Hopefully the running game can answer the call.
