Cowboys: Tony Romo Is Still the No. 1 Quarterback

“We’re going to look at the tape and figure out the plusses and minuses”, he said.

With that said, there’s no legitimate reason to go back to Romo when Prescott is playing this well.

And the Cowboys’ defense held the Bengals (2-3) off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter.

That will ideally continue from Dallas’ perspective with Romo under center because Jones made it clear who will be taking snaps when both quarterbacks are healthy and active.

Romo could be ready to play when the Cowboys play their next home game October 30 against Philadelphia. The only turnover Prescott has been responsible for was a lost fumble, and he’s now sporting a quarterback rating of 101.5. Bradford didn’t start the opener, but in the last four weeks he has completed 70 percent of his passes for six touchdowns and no interceptions and the Vikings are the only undefeated team left in the NFL.

There were many of us fans that were worrying about Elliott’s workload so far, but on just 15 carries he was able to rack up 134 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns.

“It doesn’t surprise me”.

“I’m not avoiding that”, Jones said.

“That was our goal during the week, to pretty much try to take him away from them”, Morris Claiborne said. The next play was Elliott’s 60-yard run, and the Cowboys had a 28-0 lead. Then he was scrambling to his right before halftime when he threw on the run to Cole Beasley for a 14-yard score.

RAIDERS 34, CHARGERS 31: Derek Carr threw a go-ahead 21-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree on a fourth-and-2 gamble and added another TD pass to Amari Cooper to lead Oakland (4-1). Green. One of the Bengals strongest aspects had a hard time getting things going as Dalton and Green connected four times on just 50 yards.

Prescott threw for 227 yards, making him and Elliott the first rookie combo in National Football League history with at least 1,000 yards passing and at least 500 yards rushing in the first five games.

The rookie did a great job of staying on the game when pressed about the issue.

The only time the Bengals trailed by more at halftime under Lewis was the 2009 season finale against the Jets in NY, when they rested all their starters and fell behind 27-0 at the break on the way to a 37-0 loss. This is not the Tom Brady situation where Brady missed four games due to a suspension. While he didn’t get a sack, he boosted a pass rush that sacked Dalton four times. The 36-year-old quarterback has played in just four regular season games since September 2015. They’ve won as many games in 5 games this year as they won in 16 games last year.
