3 hot takes for the Cowboys in week 10

We’re officially a couple of hours away until the Dallas Cowboys (6-2) take on the Green Bay Packers (3-6), and I don’t know about you all, but I’m excited about this game.

While it may not have the same glamour and hype as past matchups, anytime the Cowboys and Packers duke it out — I make sure I never miss the game. But, despite the lack of excitement around this matchup, I’m confident that we will be surprised as it may be closer than people think.

So, with all that in mind, I wanted to talk about this game a little bit in this piece and drop three hot takes. Expect to hear about a repeat breakout performance from a running back, two rookie defenders making their names known, and a team getting past their rival for the first time since 2016.

Tony Pollard shines again, but this time in Lambeau.

Two weeks ago, the whole world saw running back Tony Pollard explode against the Chicago Bears. 131 rushing yards and three touchdowns later, Pollard took advantage of the opportunity as the starter and showed the team that he could be their main guy.

While there is a whole debate on who should be the starter (Ezekiel Elliott or Pollard), Pollard has the opportunity to help his case on the main stage again, as Elliott isn’t expected to play, according to Dallas Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy.
