Winners of the Week, Week 7

Hi, here is my winners of the week post. Some quick news that the Dolphins release CB Byron Maxwell:

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Eddie Jackson, S, Bears
Statline: 1 fumble recovery for a 75 TD, 1 INT for a 75 yard TD:
Eddie Jackson is a player I don't think I've ever talked about on my blog. I don't think I even knew who he was before this week. I don't think you guys did either. Now he's sitting at the top of the week as he wins player of the week for my blog. Jackson, a rookie safety drafted by the Bears in the 4th round of this years draft, won the starting S job earlier this year. Now it's looking like a pretty good decision for the Bears. Jackson set an NFL record. The first player in NFL HISTORY to have two 75+ yard touchdowns on defense in a single game. Thats a crazy record to own as a rookie that no one knew about until now. Jackson's first touchdown came from a fumble near the Bears own end zone. It was a pass to Curtis Samuel, Samuel bobbled it and then dropped it. A bunch of Bears went
to the ground and the ball eventually came out to the open. Jackson scooped it up and dodged a tackle. Then he ran and ran and ran 75 yards to score the first touchdown of the game. Later on in the game, Cam Newton passed the ball to Kelvin Benjamin, a Bears player hit it up and Jackson went running and grabbed the interception out of the air and sped to the endzone. 76 yards. TOUCHDOWN and an NFL record. Jackson scored the only touchdowns of that game. Crazy enough that they were both defensive touchdowns but even crazier that they both went for 75+ yards. Jackson has a new NFL record and he is the first defensive player this year to win my blogs player of the week! What a game for Jackson!

TEAM OF THE WEEK: Oakland Raiders (3-4)
Final Score: Raiders 31, Chiefs 30
While their record isn't great, their last game was. The Raiders who would be completely out likely if they had lost this one made a huge upset over a great Chiefs team. The Raiders had a huge win. It started with Amari Cooper. Cooper had an insane, player of the week nominee performance. Derek Carr had a great game also. He threw for a nice game. The run game was an issue as Marshawn Lynch got ejected and suspended. The defense played alright. They gave up some big plays in this high scoring affair to Alex Smith but they did what they had to do. What it came down to was a two minute drill that Derek Carr is just so good at. With :00 seconds left on the clock, the Raiders had one free play. If they didn't score a TD they would lose. Derek Carr got the ball and rolled out and then threw a short pass to Michael Crabtree who made it into the endzone! TOUCHDOWN Raiders, they won the game. The Raiders needed the win badly and now look like themselves again and have a chance again to make the postseason. Great game for the Raiders!

PLAYER OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Amari Cooper, WR, Raiders: 11 rec, 210 rec yards, 2 TDs
Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys: 26 atps, 147 rush yards, 2 TDs, 72 rec yards, 1 TD
Carson Wentz, QB, Eagles: 268 pass yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT
Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys: 234 yards, 4 TD
Paul Richardson, WR, Seahawks: 61 yards, 1 TD

TEAM OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Seattle Seahawks (4-2)
Los Angeles Rams (5-2)

New Orleans Saints (4-2)
Philadelphia Eagles (6-1)

Rookie Ratings + TOM COUGHLIN IS BACK!

Hi, today I will be talking about my top rookies from this season and who are the front runners to win offensive and defensive rookies of the year awards. But first legendary former Jaguars and Giants coach Tom Coughlin is BACK! After retiring last season from coaching the Giants, the Jaguars wanted him back and they interviewed him for their recently opened head coaching position but they ended up hiring interim coach Doug Marrone for the role. The Jags didn't ditch Coughlin though, they hired Coughlin to be their vice president. He is back! Some quick news also that Seahawks breakout rookie RB C.J. Prosise is back in practice this week and may play Saturday vs the Falcons for Seattle. Jordy Nelson broke some ribs and probably won't play in the Packers game vs. the Cowboys this weekend. Also I am thinking of making a huge post about the top 100 players of the year so comment players you think should be high on the list. Here are the rookie ratings:

7. Jalen Ramsey, CB, Jaguars:
Barely making this list, I will talk briefly about him as I have other rookies to get to. Ramsey has established himself as a great lockdown corner for the Jaguars but the off-season DROY favorite hasn't been the best. He began heating up near the end of the year which isn't what you want if your going for DROY. He had his first pick 6 in week 16 showing that he really was heating up at the end of the season. His first career interception was in week 15. He had some other good plays and weeks this year but those were the highlights. This shows he really wasn't great.

6. Deion Jones, MLB, Falcons:
Jones was the only bright spot on a terrible Falcons defense that lacked talent. Jones was a surprise because no one thought Jones would do anything for the Falcons but he did. He finished the season with 3 interceptions and 2 of those 3 were pick 6's. Thats pretty good. He also had 1 forced fumble on the season. He had a decent season and will be in the running for DROY.

5. Jordan Howard, RB, Bears:
A highlight of the Bears lost 2016 campaign was rookie Jordan Howard. Everyone was excited to see starter Jeremy Langford finally get all the carries with Matt Forte shipped off to New York but he got injured and Howard stepped in and stole the starting job from Langford just the way Langford did in his rookie year when Forte got hurt. He rushed for 1313 yards as rookie! Thrust into the starting role in his rookie year he broke 1000 yards!!! Thats crazy! He had 6 rushing TDs and 1 receiving TD and he had a few games where he just went OFF! What a year for the late round pick who will look to become the next Le'Veon Bell is his coming years unless another rookie comes in and steals his job too :) !

4. Joey Bosa, DE, Chargers:
Bosa will win DROY. What a story he was. After missing the first few games of the season in a contract dispute with the Chargers, Bosa signed his deal and came right in and dominated. He had 10.5 sacks. As rookie! Missing the first games! Thats so crazy. His sacks are the most exciting thing about him because with a full season next year unless he gets hurt, he could maybe be the sack king. He looks like the next J.J. Watt, especially cause he sports number 99 just like Watt. He will win DROY and be a force in coming years.

3. Tyreek Hill, WR/KR/PR, Chiefs:
One of the most crazy stories this season, Tyreek Hill is an all-around monster. He plays 3 positions and he dominates all 3 of them. Hill came into the season doubted by everyone because he was a 5th round pick but he slowly eased into the NFL and then became a monster. He ended up with 593 yards and 6 TD's receiving. Great for a WR3/4. Hill though was a pro bowler in returning because of his insane season. He racked up 2 punt return TD's with blazing speed and 1 kickoff return TD also with his blazing speed. He is the fastest player in the NFL. Hill also had a few running plays. 1 week he ran up the middle for a 3 yard TD, one week he had 1 carry for 68 yards and a TD and one week he had 6 carries for 95 yards and a TD. The man can actually play 4 positions. Crazy! He will be in the running for OROY but he sadly won't win. If you want more on Hill check my posts from a few weeks ago because I did an article on just Hill.

2. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys:
Everyone knows Prescott now. He came in as a backup QB but in the pre-season, as usual Tony Romo went down with injury and Prescott was thrust into the starting role. He because an elite QB that went into the running for MVP, leading the Cowboys to the division title and a 13-3 record actually 13-2 not counting week 17 where he rested so he wouldn't get hurt for the playoffs. Prescott threw for 3667 yards, 23 TD's and only 4 picks. Less picks than Russell Wilson and other elite QB's. Prescott has a small chance of winning OROY and thats just because no. 1 would be a longshot not to win it. What a season for Prescott who was thrust into a starting role at the start of the year.

1. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys:
Zeke is no doubt the best rookie this season. He has won everyone over for OROY and maybe even MVP. Zeke was the best running back in the league already just by his first season. He lead the league in rushing with 1631 yards and he also had 15 TDs! Thats right, 1600+ yards and 15 TD's! Thats one of the best rookie seasons ever by anyone. There isn't much more to be said except for that Zeke will no doubt win OROY and be one of the best running backs in the league for years to come.

Thanks for reading this long post and again make sure to comment on which players you want to see make my top 100 players 2016/2017!
An insane fact is 2 rookies on this list, Zeke Elliott and Jordan Howard were the top 2 rushers in the league as rookies! CRAZY!

Top MVP Candidates

Hi, with the season almost over and the playoffs about to begin, I will be writing a MVP race post so you can see where were at in my opinion in the MVP race. Mid-way through the season I made a MVP post and so next to the names of the players on the list I will say how many spots they moved up or down and it will say N/A if they weren't on the list earlier this year.  Here it is:

Top Bet:

1. Tom Brady, QB, Patriots:   +9
Brady has been a great QB this year, and could win his 3rd MVP. After his 4 game suspension was up, Brady stepped in and has won every game since except for one where he still played very well. Everyone thinks Brady will win it again this year, and its looking good. He has thrown 22 TD's and only 2 interceptions. Thats pretty good and he has lead the Patriots TO ANOTHER PLAYOFF!

Top 3:

2. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys:   +5       
Zeke is having a historic season. As a rookie, he leads the league in rushing over some of the leagues top running backs and he's still a rookie. Zeke will be a force for years to come behind the best O-line in football. Since Brady is a QB thats having a great season, it pretty much trumps a running back with a great season, but if I could choose who won MVP, Zeke would be my pick. He will be in the top 3 for MVP votes and hopefully pull off the win after his insane rookie season. He has 1551 yards and there are still 2 weeks left, he could have 2 huge rushing games and possibly break 2000 along with a crazy amount of TD's with 13. Zeke is having quite a rookie season.

3. Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons:  -2
After a few decent seasons, Ryan has really stepped up this year to lead the Falcons to the playoffs and give him self an MVP candidate season. He has thrown 32 TD's to only 7 interceptions, thats a great ratio. Sure he has 5 more interceptions than Brady, but he has 10 more TD's plus the suspension gave Brady 4 less games to throw picks. The Falcons have finally won out the division over the Panthers because of Ryan's rising. He will be a top bet to win MVP.

ELITE PERFORMERS:

4. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys:  +5
After a surprising turn of events where Tony Romo went down in the pre-season, Dak Prescott got the starting job and since, has lead the Cowboys to a 12-2 record and took the starting job when Romo was healthy. The Cowboys rookies have been insane this season and Dak will maybe someday be the best QB in the league when QB's like Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers aren't around anymore. Dak has thrown 3,400 yards with 20 TD's and only 4 interceptions. He has also ran for 6 TD's which is pretty great too. This is great for a rookie and the way he has been playing has been so awesome and he is another top bet in peoples minds for MVP.

5. Derek Carr, QB, Raiders:    N/A
Carr has always been a pretty good young QB, but who knew that this would be the year he became an elite QB? Carr has lead the Raiders to their first playoff berth in many years and the Raiders may finally win their division. Carr has been a great QB to Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper, 2 of the leagues best receivers who are hungry for receptions. Carr has thrown 3700 yards for 25 TD's and only 6 interceptions. A lot of people want to see Carr win MVP and its very possible.

6. Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions:    -4
The Lions finally may take down the Packers for the division title for the first time in years. Its always the Packers or the Vikings who win it, but this year it looks like the Lions will win the division with a 1 game lead on the Packers. Stafford has been great all season and he is becoming an elite QB finally like everyone thought he would be some day. He has thrown for 3700 yards and 22 TD's with only 8 interceptions. Stafford has also been a great mobile QB, trucking players for TD's which you normally don't see QB's do. This list is owned with great QB's and Stafford is finally better than QB's like Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson this year.

OTHER NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:

7. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Packers:    N/A
After the Packers had a bad start to the season, Aaron Rodgers really turned it around and started leading his team to what may be a playoff berth. Rodgers turned Jordy Nelson back into his old star form and Davante Adams is becoming a top receiver because of Rodgers. His 32 TD's and only 7 interceptions is a really great number and if he is phenominal through the last weeks and wins out, he could seriously have a chance at MVP.

8. DeMarco Murray, RB, Titans:   -4
Murray has been super good throughout the year and deserves some recognition for the comeback season he is having. The Titans still could possibly make the playoffs and Murray could put the team on his back and maybe do it if the Titans win out, they will make the playoffs. Murray has racked up 1224 yards and 9 touchdowns which is pretty good. Murray could win MVP if he somehow beats out these other insane candidates but you have to put a guy this good on the list.

9. Von Miller, LB, Broncos:  -9
The only defensive player on this list, Von Miller has had a great follow-up season to his Super Bowl MVP winning season last year. Miller is almost a lock for Defensive Player of the Year with 13.5 sacks, 65 tackles, and 2 forced fumbles. This is a great season for any defensive player and a great star like Miller could have an MVP in him maybe because he is one of the only defensive players with a chance this year and that alone maybe could win it for him?

10. Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans:  N/A
Mariota's amazing season started week 5 but was shadowed by the return of Tom Brady. Since then, Mariota has been a top QB leading the Titans to many wins and they could still easily make the playoffs. They have beaten a lot of great teams like the Chiefs, Packers, Broncos, and more. Mariota has tossed 25 TD's, only 9 picks, and 3300 yards. Mariota could win it in future years, but unless he leads the Titans to the Super Bowl, its not pretty much possible but he is such a great player, he has to be on the list.

Thanks for reading and comment who you think will win MVP.

Eagles Vs. Cowboys, Game of the Week

Hi, I am making this post about one of the best match-ups we will see this year and it is Cowboys Vs. Eagles, 2 intriguing teams who both need the win to have a chance at a good playoff run. Some quick news that Broncos star RB C.J. Anderson was placed on IR. Here is the game and what I think will happen:

FINAL SCORE: COWBOYS 27, EAGLES 24:

COWBOYS TEAM LEADERS:
Dak Prescott: 20/36, 212 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT
Ezekiel Elliott: 30 carries, 182 yards, 1 TD
Cole Beasley: 6 receptions, 78 yards, 1 TD
Terrance Williams: 5 receptions, 64 yards

EAGLES TEAM LEADERS:
Carson Wentz: 19/30, 189 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Ryan Matthews: 20 carries, 120 yards, 2 TDs
Jordan Matthews: 4 receptions, 45 yards
Dorial Green-Beckham, 3 receptions, 36 yards, 1 TD

What a game this will be, two rookie QB's leading potiential playoff teams. People are saying this could be the new Brady/Manning rivalry. Dak Prescott is looking to show up in a big game that could almost define if he stays starter or if Tony Romo comes back. Carson Wentz has played super well and is finally giving the Eagles a chance to win games and possibly make the playoffs. The Eagles D has been a pleasant surprise while the Cowboys D is always the same crappy D. The Cowboys difference maker though is Ezekiel Elliott, the rookie running back who is leading the league in rushing. What a season he is having and he is on pace to break 2000 yards rushing!!! As a rookie!!!! It will be close, but the Cowboys will edge out the Eagles with their top tier offense.

MVP Race Candidates Half Season

Hi, with half of the season flown by, its time to see who has a chance at winning the biggest award of the year. Here it is:

TOP BET:

1. Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons:
Ask anyone, so far, Ryan has been the best player. He has helped the Falcons stay no. 1 in their division and he has helped Julio Jones emerge as the best receiver so far over Odell Beckham and Antonio Brown, two bets to do better than Jones. Ryan has looked amazing and beat tough teams including the Broncos who were undefeated until playing them and the Panthers. They even almost won a tough game in Seattle losing by a missed PI call on a 4th down dime to Julio Jones. Ryan had his best week against the Panthers throw for a bunch of TD's and 500 yards! Whew! Matty Ice has been great.

ELITE PERFORMERS:

2. Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions:
Another huge surprise, Stafford for MVP seemed as likely as Donald Trump winning the election this off-season, now both look possible. On a talentless Lions team with a long playoff drought, Matthew Stafford has made the best of it and stepped up his game to play better than he did even with legendary WR Calvin Johnson who retired this offseason. Golden Tate was the Lions only great target it seemed until free agent surprise Marvin Jones broke out and is now looking like a top 5 receiver. Stafford has made his team win a lot of games and is gaining on the playoff picture, don't be surprised if he actually wins MVP, its possible.

3. Melvin Gordon, RB, Chargers:
Who would have thought that the biggest dissapointment of last season, would come back and make a case to be league MVP? No one. After a terrible rookie season, something clicked and Melvin Gordon started playing like magic. Only 7 games into the season, Gordon already has 10 TD's, he could get 20 TDs this year if he keeps on pace which would be insane!!! That would be the NFL history record. Gordon could do it if he keeps playing like he has been. Gordon is a top RB who has a top shot at MVP.

4. DeMarco Murray, RB, Titans:
After his slump year, no one believed in Murray, except me. I thought he would be good since the day he got traded to that amazing O-line in Tennessee. Murray has done it. He has had a great season. Finally looking like himself, Murray has rushed for 5 TD's already and caught 2 TDs. He has also ran for 633 yards so far. He has looked amazing and he is one of the Titans only hopes at winning and I think they have a chance with such a stud in the backfield.

5. Julio Jones, WR, Falcons:
If Matt Ryan does end up winning MVP, its mostly because of the star of the Falcons offense. He has been super dominate this year and has played better than any other receiver in the game. He has already 830 receiving yards and 4 TDs including one 300 yard game vs. the Panthers which was insane. Jones is an amazing beast who has a great shot at league MVP.

NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:

6. David Johnson, RB, Cardinals:
If you look at the stats, people either say David Johnson or Melvin Gordon is the no. 1 RB in the league, both have a great case. The 2nd year running back has had an amazing season and has played better than last years rookie of the year RB Todd Gurley who out played him for the award. He has rushed for 681 yards and 8 TD's, thats an elite performance for sure. Johnson looked like one of the only good players in last weeks slugfest tie Vs. the Seahawks. Johnson has a great shot at MVP and he is also the no. 1 point scoring fantasy running back.

7. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys:
This could end up being one of the best rookie running backs in NFL history, he is already on pace to break 2000 yards rushing which would be a record. Elliott has such a great shot at it too. Aside from his insane athletisim, Elliott is running behind the best O-line in the league. He is already pretty much a surefire Offensive Rookie of the year bet, but can he win MVP too? He has a shot.

8. Von Miller, LB, Broncos:
The reigning Super Bowl MVP has had a great follow-up season. He has already had 7.5 sacks and 22 solo tackles this far into the season. He is having a great season and he is maybe the best defensive player in the league, epescially with J.J. Watt out for the season. Defensive players don't normally win MVP, he has a chance, and if not, he has a great shot at defensive player of the year.

9. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys:
A name no one thought would be on this list this off-season surprised everyone. Rookie QB Dak Prescott stepped in when Tony Romo got hurt, now he looks like he will stay starter when Romo is back. Prescott has looked amazing starting 5-1 and right now leading the NFC's no. 1 team. Prescott has played super well even without super star receiver Dez Bryant. He has already set records and only thrown 1 interception. Dak Prescott will be a name you will hear in the future, but this is only the start.

10. Tom Brady, QB, Patriots:
Just because he had a 4 game suspension made people forget about Brady, but don't. He has been amazing in the games he has played, losing 0 games and he has been in the league MVP running almost every year of his career, why would this year be different after how good he's already been so far. Brady has a super star unit of pass catchers to help him including 2 TE's who both barely missed this list. Brady could easily do this if he keeps playing like he has been.

Another notable players: Drew Brees QB Saints, Marcus Mariota QB Titans, Le'Veon Bell RB Steelers, Antonio Brown WR Steelers, Marvin Jones WR Lions, Ben Roethlisberger QB Steelers, Derek Carr QB Steelers, A.J. Green WR Bengals, Martellus Bennett TE Patriots, Bobby Wagner MLB Seahawks, Jay Ajayi RB Dolphins, Rob Gronkowski TE Patriots, LeGarrette Blount RB Patriots, Cam Newton QB Panthers, Sam Bradford QB Vikings, Carson Wentz QB Eagles, Lorenzo Alexander LB Bills.

Dak Prescott Vs. Tony Romo, The Battle Under Center

Hi, I am making a post talking about the Cowboys QB battle. Tony Romo has been really good in past years but he is getting older and he keeps getting hurt. While being hurt the first 8 weeks of this season, youngster rookie QB Dak Prescott stepped in and has lead the Cowboys to 4-1. He is looking amazing and has thrown 0 interceptions through these first games. Today I am picking a winner because so many people have been debating over it and its time for me to answer this burning question. Here is battle:

Tony Romo:

Pros: Romo knows the offense. He has been the starter for years now and has lead the Cowboys to multiple playoff appearances. He has been productive for years and he turned Dez Bryant into a great receiver. He has thrown for 34,000+ yards over the course of his career in Dallas and 247 TD's. He a favorite QB and has been a top 5, elite QB for the longest time. He's completed a little over half of the throws he's completed in his career.

Cons: Romo is getting old. He is not a very mobile QB and he does throw a lot of interceptions. Romo gets hurt a lot too and this is the 3rd or 4th time he has gotten hurt badly. Last season he broke his collarbone, came back and then re-injured it after playing 1 game which lead to one of the Cowboys most disasterous seasons in franchise history having a 4-12 year. Romo will not be able to take the Cowboys into the playoffs many more times as the Cowboys want

Dak Prescott:

Pros: Dak has been really good. Most rookie QB's aren't productive in their first year but Prescott has looked very productive. He is 4-1 as a starter and he only needs one more win to already have a better record than the Cowboys season last year. He is a few pass attempts without an interception to set a NFL record. He is a super mobile QB who also can throw very well and he is learning the offense very well. He has thrown 0 interceptions over the first few games which is super hard for rookies to do. Prescott is also very young so he has a lot of time to play and improve under a young Cowboys team.

Cons: He is only a rookie so he can probably only play SO well. He will eventually throw interceptions and show some signs that he is a rookie. He sometimes doesn't make the best descions. Rookies QBs have never lead their team to a super bowl win so it is a super long shot that Prescott could win the Super Bowl this year.

WHO WINS: Its not actually that close, I feel like Dak Prescott will win and he should win. He has more pros and less cons than Romo. He is younger, doesn't have much injury risk, and has a lot of time to work on his mistakes. It makes sense for him to stay starting QB now that he has learned the offense so well. He deserves this win and will be the future of this franchise even if he doesn't start after Romo comes back cause Romo only has a year or 2 left.

Thanks for reading, I hope you liked this post.

BREAKING: TONY ROMO OUT UNTIL MID-SEASON

Hi, something crazy happened yesterday and I'm here to tell you about it. Before we start here is some news that the Rams sign WR Tavon Austin to a 4 year contract extension. Here is the big news:

Two posts ago I was talking about ho Tony Romo got hurt in the Seahawks Vs. Cowboys game but got up and seemed fine. Then backup QB Dak Prescott came in and played super well. Turns out Romo is actually out for half the season. He has a broken bone in his back and its not great for him or the Cowboys. If Romo gets hurt one more time, either the Cowboys will stop starting him due to his injury risk or he will get seriously hurt and not be able to play again. I see one more injury in Romo's career and then it's over. Dak Prescott is the future of the Cowboys' signal caller. Now people are saying crazy things, its over, the Cowboys will have another terrible year. Not true. First off its only 8 games, then Romo is back. Second, Dak Prescott is amazing. He has played super well in the pre-season and has the highest passer rating of any QB during the pre-season. Even though it is just pre-season, Dak looks really good and was steady even against Seattle's tough defense. Dak will set them up for wins and if he's as good as I think he'll be, Cowboys fans won't want Romo back in when he comes back. When Romo does come back, I don't thinks its gonna last. Last year when he broke his collarbone in week 2 and then finally came back around week 10, then re-injured it after only one more week. Dak Prescott has Rookie of the Year potential. I can see this happening again and the end of his career is soon, it's sad, but its true. Romo is on his way out, Dak Prescott is on his way in.

Some Other Pre-Season News:
-Browns WR Josh Gordon has a great game catching 2 long passes for 87 yards and a TD
-Broncos QB Trevor Siemian plays very well and its looking like he is going to be starter this year
-Titans running back duo, Henry and Murray continue to amaze with a great game
-Eli Manning plays terribly, whats up with him this Pre-season?
-Ravens star tight end Benjamin Watson has achilies injury, out for the season
-Blaine Gabbert and Colin Kaepernick both play pretty badly. Neither seperating themselves
-Jared Goff has bad game, Case Keenum steps up.
-Titans WR Andre Johnson played well, who knows, will he be a starting receiver?
-Jameis Winston has a great game throwing for 259 yards and 2 touchdowns
-Tom Brady looks good in pre-season debut, besting Jimmy Garapollo, beating the Panthers

Thanks for reading, sorry Cowboys fans...but Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott will be good!

Cowboys Vs. Seahawks, Highlights from an Exciting Game

Hi, I am posting today about a great pre-season game yesterday. Here are the highlights:

-The Cowboys are normally a top 5 team in the league, but last year they went 4-12, one of the worst seasons in franchise history. It was because star QB Tony Romo got injured week 2, finally came back around week 10 and then played one game and got re-injured the next game, giving the Cowboys tied for their 2nd worst season in franchise history. Now Tony Romo is back and on his 3rd play of the night he tried scrambling and got hit hard in the back and was down. Romo lay on the ground, a hand on his back, officials ran to him to see if he was okay. He finally got up and walked to the sideline, Romo is ok but he will not play any snaps the rest of the pre-season. How will he be in the regular season.

-Top Offensive Rookie of the Year predicition, 4th Overall Pick in this years draft, running back Ezekiel Elliott made his debut. He was a beast. He had some great blocks to give QB's Tony Romo and Dak Prescott more time in the pocket and he had some runs that made it to the outside, he rushed for 48 yards on only a fe carries and he started a rivalry with one of the leagues (if not the hardest) hardest hitters, Kam Chancellor but played well through it. When Kam put his head down to hit Elliott, he hit him right back and kept running. This was surprising because Ezekiel did this multiple times and no one can really do that to such an elite defender. When Zeke came out I started getting texts from my friends in my fantasy league asking me what for Ezekiel?

-Cowboys rookie backup QB Dak Prescott played amazingly AGAIN! When Romo got hurt Dak came right in and was great. I can see Dak as the future of the Cowboys QB even maybe after just one more season considering how injury prone Tony Romo is. If Romo gets hurt this season, the Cowboys won't still have one of the worst seasons in their franchise history, but they will have Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott to hold down. One more injury for Romo and Dak will get the starting nod is my thoughts.

-Seahawks breakout running back Christine Michael wowed again. He was explosive as usual and got many yards. Rawls is supposed to be the starter but coming off of an injured season and having not played one snap yet this year, will he be able to hold off Michael from the starting job. We'll have to see. Rawls could be playing next week as most of the starters do in the final week of the pre-season.
