The Offense:
Coming out of Thanksgiving the Cowboys were feeling good. All Around great Second half from last week lead right into this game against the colts. Tony Pollard and Zeke both scored touchdowns of their own. Both looking awesome in the run game. Pollard lead the way in yardage with 91 yards and 12 carries for 2 touchdowns. Zeke had 77 yards of his own and his own touchdown with a nostalgic celebration jumping in the Salvation Army Kettle! In my opinion, our only weak spot on our offensive line is Center, Tyler Biadasz has is respectful moments but on offense this is one of the only positions that defiantly needs a look at later in the year. As well as Dak, he made some solid throws and some not so solid throws. When it comes down to it I trust Dak Prescott, but he has been throwing more interceptions than usual, are these all his fault? Maybe not but still he's trending towards more interceptions than usual. Lining up beside him are Cedee lamb and Michael Gallup. Lamb having an extremely strong year so far proving he can handle the duties of a Number 1 receiver, especially with Gallup Beside him. Gallup coming off an ACL tear last year, has been ramping up in recent weeks. Scoring twice this past week, and making some of the harder catches he would've made earlier this year. Showing he's on his way back to fully healthy is a great sign. Our Trio of tightends were quiet this week, Shultz was given the opportunity for a touchdown but ultimately it was broken up by a colts defender. Besides Shultz's 33 yards on 2 receptions, all other tight ends were held in check.

The Defense:
Defensively the Dallas Cowboys Put on a show. I've been saying it for weeks that Malik Hooker has shown he is worth the money and he finally put some stats on the board with his second interception on the year, and a fumble recovery that was brought back for a touchdown against his former team. In the secondary some bad news has came out recently that Anthony Brown has Torn his Achilles and will be out for the year. This will give second year corner Kelvin Joseph the starting job, boy am I scared. I hope he proves everyone wrong and becomes a solid 2, however he has not looked good when he is on the field, it looks like he doesn't line up in the right spot for many plays running across the field multiple times right before the snap. Hopefully with a full weeks work and learning he can start to improve but this may need to be fixed. Our slot corner Daron Bland had a career night grabbing 2 interceptions and proving he's a good fill in for the injured Jourdan Lewis. Parsons and the defensive line only had 1 sack coming from Osa Odighizuwa, the 2 others coming from Anthony Barr, and our team leading tackler, Donovan "Hitman" Wilson. With a name like Hitman, you've got to make some big plays, and he has. Leading the Dallas Cowboys in tackles with 62, this may not seem like the biggest amount especially going into week 14, however Wilson is our safety. Yes, at the safety position he is flying up and helping stop the run and even recording an interception this year, he can do it all.

Upcoming:
In my opinion the next two weeks should go exactly how this game went, easy cruise to a win. But watch out for trap games! Especially the Jaguars only being two games out of first in their respective division, facing their biggest opponent in the Titans this week. Watch out if they win, the cowboys week 15 game may be bigger or harder than it might seem now. Nevertheless, i'm expecting the Dallas Cowboys to win out. Yes, I think playing the Eagles in our house, and even the titans just days before new years, are very winnable. Iv'e picked them to win hopefully overcome the Eagles for the first seed. This seems impossible now, however, if we beat the eagles and do happen to win out, the Eagles just need to loose one game, and we would overtake first place.
