Dak Prescott Pushes Cowboys to OT Win Over Eagles

The Dallas Cowboys now have a winning streak of six games thanks to their 29-23 overtime win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott threw a five-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten to give the Cowboys the win.

Jerry Jones said Dak will get the start in Cleveland, as Romo is still on the mend from his broken vertebrae.

This game was a duel of two rookie quarterbacks as Prescott won the battle over Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz. It took a late tying touchdown pass to Dez Bryant to keep the Cowboys alive and force overtime after rallying from a ten-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Dallas’s stellar offense then in overtime made sure Philadelphia never got the ball back. Dak Prescott led his team on a seventy-five yard drive, completing all five of his passes.

Prescott Not Done Yet

Owner of the Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones confirmed via twitter that Dak Prescott will get the start next weekend over Tony Romo. Romo has still not returned from the compression fracture he suffered. It was only last week that Romo participated in practice, but with limited reps.

Next the Cowboys will travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns on Sunday. Cleveland has yet to win a game this season.
