Dallas Cowboys

Then we have the Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys have had a season that no one could have predicted as they have stormed out to a 10-1 record after losing the first game of the season. This is the first time in franchise history that the Cowboys have won 10 straight games in a season.

Did I mention that the quarterback and running back are both rookies? Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott have made this Cowboys team more than just a contender for a super bowl. They have also made this one of the most entertaining teams in the league.

It remains to be seen whether or not they make a run in the playoffs, but the point is, the Cowboys have already taken Dallas back with this team. Keep watching the Boys each week for amazing play and unbelievable rookies taking over.

The Cowboys have 5 more games in the season and have all but sealed their spot atop the NFC East. They also are leading the entire NFC, ahead of the Seattle Seahawks by a game and a half. Aside from the two rookies, keep an eye on Dez Bryant and Cole Beasley, and Sean Lee on the defensive end.
