The Cowboys, Redskins rivalry was in full force yesterday.
Dak Prescott is a quarterback who has faced a ton scrutiny over the last few years thanks to the fact that he hasn’t been seen as much a playmaker, especially when compared to running back Ezekiel Elliott. Despite this, Prescott has thrived this season and after two games, has seven touchdown passes and just one interception. Yesterday, Prescott shined against the Washington Redskins as his Dallas Cowboys came through with a 31-21 victory.
Before the game, Redskins star Josh Norman had some criticism for Prescott, essentially saying he is only playing well because his fensive line. In his post-game interview, Prescott threw a bit shade Norman’s way and discredited his opinion.

Norman has been underperforming this season and the Redskins will be in tough for the rest their campaign as they boast an underwhelming record 0-2. It’s clear the Cowboys are the cream the crop when it comes to the NFC East and the league has been put on notice.
