The much-anticipated game between the No. 1-ranked rushing offense vs. Green Bay's top-ranked run defense didn't disappoint. But there was a clear winner here. Dallas collected 191 yards rushing and has now surpassed 180 yards on the ground in four straight games -- the first time a Dallas team has done that since 1975. Ezekiel Elliott continued to dash toward the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, picking up 157 yards on 28 carries (5.6 yards per carry), making him the first rookie in NFL history to rush for 130-plus yards in four consecutive games. Dallas' ground performance is especially impressive because Green Bay's D was giving up 2 yards per carry through its first four contests. Quarterback Dak Prescott may have thrown his first career INT, but he also tossed three touchdowns in the win. There were no quarterback hits, but Doug Free allowed a sack in the game.

That's not a typo folks. Since 1975! 40+ years worth of games. That's Preston Pearson/Robert Newhouse era old. Another draft or two and this team could and should be dominant on both sides of the ball. We're finally getting over the hump. The Zone is gonna turn into a cigar lounge instead of a boxing ring in the very near future.
Well. disregard that last statement.
