5. The Young and the Restless

They say rookies aren’t Super Bowl ready.

Explain that to Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott.

The pair has a propensity to steal NFL headlines and break rookie records. But the duo can’t drive to Houston alone.

In addition to the rookie pair, the Cowboys have been dependent on other young stars to connect the team.

Cornerback Anthony Brown has stepped up with Morris Claiborne down. Maliek Collins is another rookie to watch out for. The offensive line is young, who as a group are still figuring out where the ceiling begins and ends.

Who is the greatest threat to the Cowboys? Who can stop the Boys from seeing Houston?

In my opinion it’s the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins, should either or both teams get into the tournament.

Next: Cowboys must get something in return for Tony Romo

Should the Cowboys face off against either of the two teams, the five reasons mentioned above are what will set the Cowboys over the top and into the Super Bowl.
