Five moves the Cowboys can make to jump-start their offense
The Cowboys have nothing to lose, so they might as well shake things up. There is no way around it, the Dallas Cowboys offense stinks in 2018. Only the woeful Arizona Cardinals (6.7 points per game) score at a worse clip than the Cowboys (13.7 per game). Dallas is also 30th in the league in overall yards per game, and 31st in passing yards per game. Dak Prescott ranks 27th in the league in QB rating and yards per attempt. Prescott has been sacked 11 times which is fifth-most in the league, an indictment of the offensive line play. We could walk through more numbers that illustrate the...

Dak Prescott has done something that hasn’t happened since Quincy Carter in 2003
Not exactly great company to be in. The Cowboys have been reaching different sorts of lows when it comes to offensive production early on this season. There are all sorts of statistics about single-digit scoring, total yardage, attempts, you get the picture. Dak Prescott has hardly had a beginning to this season that would make fantasy football owners proud. Things were definitely a bit interesting for him in Week 2 against the Giants when he accumulated a fair amount of yardage on the ground, but Dak has had trouble passing this season (not exactly the sentence you want to be true of your...

Cowboys news: Offense continues to struggle in loss; Dallas planning trade for Earl Thomas?
The Monday morning links. 5 thoughts from Cowboys’ loss at Seahawks: Frustrating day for Zeke; Earl Thomas’ price tag just went up - Jon Machota, SportsDay Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott struggled and Earl Thomas is even more expensive than he was 24 hours ago. 1. What a frustrating day for Ezekiel Elliott. He rushed for over 100 yards for the first time this season, but there’s no way he’s pleased with that performance. He dropped a catchable ball on third down, missed on a block while trying to cut a blitzing linebacker, stepped out of bounds on a play midway through the second...

Dak Prescott’s brilliant start has begun to sour. Here’s what Cowboys need to do next
SEATTLE - A brilliant start to Dak Prescott's career has begun to sour.A belief that the Cowboys stumbled into a franchise quarterback to secure their future is no longer a lock.Prescott burst on the scene two years ago the way few quarterbacks have in NFL history. But Sunday's 24-13 loss to Seattle delivered yet another blow to his declining stature.Comparisons to Russell Wilson seem terribly misplaced at the moment. The Seahawks quarterback lifted his struggling team with an inspired performance, throwing touchdown passes of 16 and 52 yards and coming up with some big plays on third...

Seahawks 24 Cowboys 13: There’s no place like home!
Doesn’t it feel good to win? The Seattle Seahawks (1-2) finally played at home for the first time of the 2018 NFL season, and they shut down Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys (1-2) on their way to a win. Russell Wilson threw two touchdown passes, the running game hardly set the world on fire, but it was used and used heavily, and Chris Carson got his reward with a game-sealing touchdown in the final quarter, plus a 100-yard rushing day to boot. The defense dominated the Cowboys passing offense and forced three turnovers, with the great Earl Thomas picking off Prescott twice. 1st...

Troy Aikman says Cowboys' offensive line largely to blame for Dak Prescott's struggles (he also blasts new NFL rules)
Much like his days of quarterbacking the Dallas Cowboys, Troy Aikman rarely gets animated in the FOX TV booth. That isn't to say he wasn't intensely competitive as a player or that he's milquetoast behind the mic, but something has to rile him before he displays emotion.Well, not one, but two developments during Sunday's Cowboys-Seahawks broadcast proved galling enough to incur Aikman's wrath.One of those moments occurred early in the game, when Cowboys defensive end Tyrone Crawford was called for a personal foul after hitting Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson a split-second after Wilson...

From criticism to Kleenex: Poignant ESPN story spotlights Dak Prescott's friendship with inspiring painter who has no arms
National TV analysts have been tough on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott this season.The various morning pregame shows have focused more on Prescott's shortcomings than the fact that, as an ESPN graphic reminded us on Sunday, Prescott's 23 victories since 2016 are second among all NFL quarters, behind only Tom Brady's 25 wins.The Dak doubting dissipated after the Cowboys' victory last Sunday night over the Giants and then, this morning, wham, ESPN's Jeff Darlington reminded us of another aspect of Prescott, the softer, compassionate side. He comes by it naturally, no doubt gained out of the...

Jerry Jones: We should use Dak Prescott in the running game, he's the 'real deal' when he decides to run
The deciding factor in the Cowboys' first two games has been how the quarterbacks have used their feet.Cam Newton rushed 13 times for 58 yards and a touchdown in Carolina's season-opening 16-8 win over Dallas.Dak Prescott rushed seven times for a career-high 45 yards in Sunday night's 20-13 win over the New York Giants.On Friday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones mentioned those results, which is why he doesn't mind his franchise quarterback carrying the ball a few extra times."Well, I'm queasy any time the quarterback has the ball," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan's G-Bag Nation show [KRLD-FM].

Will Dak Prescott run the ball as much as Seattle QB Russell Wilson? Why Cowboys will continue to mix it up
FRISCO -- Pete Carroll has seen some significant changes on film while preparing for the Cowboys' offense this week."They've been kind of the same for quite a while and you can see there's a difference right now," the Seattle Seahawks head coach said. "They've been influenced by some other teams that have done some good stuff in their division, in particular. You can see them experimenting with things, and it fits them."Carroll was referring to how the Cowboys have been using Dak Prescott, specifically in last Sunday's 20-13 win over the New York Giants.Prescott sparked the offense with his...

Since S Earl Thomas remains a Seahawk, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott must keep an eye on him Sunday in Seattle
FRISCO -- Since Seattle safety Earl Thomas visited Dallas' locker room last Christmas Eve and told the Cowboys to come get him if they get the chance, fans here have envisioned the All-Pro someday wearing the famed blue star.The reality this week, though, is the Cowboys offense will still have to deal with playing against Thomas in Sunday's meeting in Seattle.Thomas ended his hold out just before the regular season, despite not being traded or getting a long-term extension as he wanted. No matter, he nabbed an interception in Week 1 against Denver.How aware is Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott...
