“He was due for a night like this,” quarterback Dak Prescott said of Cooks in his postgame remarks.
“He’s done everything right from the moment he showed up in the spring. been a consistent leader, leading other guys on the field, off the field, and just doing everything right and everything that we’ve asked him to do in between the lines. And he hasn’t really reaped the rewards.”
Cooks no doubt expected a larger piece of the sumptuous pie that can be the Cowboys offense. And while the Cowboys certainly had hoped to cash in on another 1,000-yard season from Cooks- as he’s given his previous four clubs- they also acquired the former first-rounder to provide veteran leadership in a receivers room where no one else is over 27 years of age.

To say Michael Gallup had a rough outing in the Week 6 win over the Chargers is an understatement.
The Cowboys receiver led the team in pass targets with 10, but he caught just three of them, for 24 yards. At one point- with less than four minutes left in the game, as a matter of fact- every Dallas player Dak Prescott had thrown to had a perfect catch percentage… except for Gallup, who had all seven incompletions next to his name.
______________
Of Gallup’s 32 targets, he’s caught just 18 of them.
To be fair, though, Gallup has never been a high-percentage catch guy. His career-best mark is just 56.6%, and in three of his five completed seasons, he’s posted a year-end number of under 50%.
