Dallas Cowboys: It’s Dak Prescott’s world, and we just live in it
Dak Prescott is mega. Of course, this isn’t news to just any Dallas Cowboys fan. And yet, the quarterback continues to impress and do wonders, even on his scale. Surely, the 28-year-old would see some sort of setback six games into 2021.

He defeated the stadium, the fans, and the men in black and white stripes. Heck, Prescott is playing so well that he was able to overcome his head coach who dialed up a variety of head-scratchers. On that note, he even outdueled the other head coach, Bill Belichick, who many consider the greatest mastermind of all minds. Talk about sanity!
