Are the Dallas Cowboys the best offensive team in the NFL? No.
Do they have the best defense in all of football? Nope.
They may not have the best offense or defense. They may not have a specific unit considered to be the best either.
What they do have is an absolutely complete team.
Quarterback Dak Prescott is a borderline top ten quarterback. Running back Ezekiel Elliott is one of the three best in the league. The Cowboys offensive line is top three as well.
Their defensive line, headlined by end DeMarcus Lawrence, is deep and talented. Dallas possesses one of the two or three best linebacking corps in the NFL, while their secondary is young, talented and eager to prove they belong.
As long as Elliott is available for most of the year and their kicking game does not tank their season, this team is primed for a Super Bowl run. That run starts with back-to-back NFC East titles.
