Dak Prescott gets the perfect smugglers rankings while Cowboys slice giants

Texas - Dak Prescott and the Cowboys have not agreed to extend their contract before the start of the season.

That did not stop the Dallas quarterback from lighting up the Giants on Sunday. Prescott earned a perfect pass mark (158.3) with 405 yards and four touchdowns, while the Cowboys outshot the Giants by 35-17.

Here are three things we learned:


1. Dak Prescott does not play distracted

Prescott told reporters Thursday that "obviously" he wants to see his extension carried out. But "I'm just focusing on the Giants," Prescott added. "The defense of the Giants, what this team has to do to win the match and next week, we will face the next opponent."

On Sunday, he confirmed this claim, winning more yards in the first half (256) than the average of the full games last season (242.8). He rushed twice more for 14 yards. And he used his panoply of weapons with mastery.

Seven different Cowboys caught quarterback passes with Michael Gallup and Amari Cooper both past the 100-yard mark. First year coordinator Kellen Moore's program proved effective for a team that often dropped out of the red zone last season.

2. Jason Witten: still a giant killer?

The 37-year-old Cowboys forward scored her 16th career touchdown against the Giants. Witten captured three passes for a total of 15 yards as he played his first game since December 2017. In the spring, Witten decided to leave ESPN's "Monday Night Football" stand to join the Cowboys for a contract. a year. Witten has since said that he feels good and that he will not return to play the cheerleader de facto: he wants to help the offensive.

When he returned, he did it. And his presence did not cancel the tight position of Blake Jarwin, who showed promise for the Cowboys last year, including a 17th-week performance at three touchdowns by a game against the Giants. Jarwin scored the first goal for Dallas on Sunday, giving him four career touchdowns, all against the Giants, and the Cowboys' last two games.

3. Cowboys D starts slowly, rebounds

Saquon Barkley quickly attacked the Cowboys 'defense with a 59-yard run in the Giants' first offensive to get a touch of Evan Engram. But the D Cowboys did not allow another touchdown until 2:49 remained in the fourth quarter.

DeMarcus Lawrence, twice in defense of the Pro Bowl, is back from shoulder surgery in the off-season after an active day in which he finished quarterback Giants Eli Manning for a quarterback bag . A Manning pursuit by Leighton Vander Esch unleashed an intentional grounding penalty aimed at killing another Giants record. Safety Jeff Heath and cornerback Jourdan Lewis each had passes in the end zone.
