Dak Prescott shines in statement win over Vikings

The Dallas Cowboys made a statement yesterday by beating the 8-1 Vikings 40-3.

The Cowboys dominated from the coin flip. Micah Parsons set the tone early with a sack on Kirk Cousins on the Vikings’ first offensive possession. He finished the game with four tackles and two sacks, bringing his season total to 10.

After blowing a 14-point fourth-quarter lead against the Packers a week ago, the Cowboys made sure that did not happen again. The offense kept their foot on the gas, scoring 17 points in the second half.

Yes, the defense of the Cowboys was dominant all game, but the outburst from Dak Prescott and the offense is what caught my eye. The 40-burger is the second-highest total Dallas has scored in a game this season.

The fast start from the offense allowed the defense to do what they do best, rush the passer. They finished with six sacks on the day.

We knew the defense could do this, they had just been very shaky the last few weeks, but I remember this week people said Dak Prescott was the weakest link of this football team. That made me laugh.

The Cowboys scored on each of their first seven possessions and didn’t have to punt the football until 3:55 remained in the THIRD quarter.

Prescott finished the game 22 of 25, 276 yards, and two passing touchdowns. He made a statement yesterday and didn’t even play in the fourth quarter.
