THE DALLAS COWBOYS ARE STILL BIG FAVORITES IN THE NFC EAST, DESPITE THEIR 1-2 START TO THE SEASON
In a back-and-forth affair, it was
Russell Wilson and the
Seattle Seahawks who dealt Dallas the final blow in the form of a
D.K. Metcalf 29-yard touchdown reception. The Cowboys' ability to cover Metcalf and
Tyler Lockett was a concern coming into the game, and it proved to be a valid one, as Wilson picked apart their defense to the tune of 315 passing yards and five passing touchdowns.
Dak Prescott certainly made some impressive plays in his own right — finishing the contest with two big-time throws and a PFF grade of 83.4 on the week — but it just wasn't enough to match Wilson and the Seahawks' offense. The bad news for Dallas is that the loss drops them to 1-2 through their first three games with a banged-up roster. The good news is that they should still be overwhelming favorites in the NFC East despite that start.
As of today Dak Prescott is graded as the 4th best QB in the NFL.
