2. Air

It’s time to call Dak Prescott “Air” Dak. Hello! A perfect quarterback rating of 158.3 is something to remember, especially when no other Dallas Cowboy has accomplished this feat. Wow.

Let’s dial his numbers here. He passed over 400 passing yards, four touchdowns, zero picks, zero sacks, and missed only seven passes.

Dear Washington, good luck!

3. Blueprint

The Cowboys proved that this team, which is oriented around the run scheme, can play pass and catch in this passing league. The ‘Boys have weapons all over the field. Combined with a lethal offensive line, defenses must be aware of Dallas in the air, as well as the ground.

4. Center

America’s Team looked a lot more balanced, a lot more normal with the return of Travis Frederick. He’s the anchor at the front line, and the game last Sunday showed how much he was missed in 2018. Welcome back.

Despite an aching Zack Martin, the rest of the line held strong in large part of the center. Now, imagine when Martin returns to 100 percent?
