In week 13, the Cowboys took on a talented opponent in the Ravens. MVP hopeful Dak Prescott had another game manager type performance, finishing with day with 12 passing attempts, only having 1 incompletion. To go along with his near perfect completion percentage, he had 182 yards and 1 TD. Dak did a great job of spreading his targets around, as every starter on offense finished with at least 2 receptions, with star rookie TE Ja’Tavion Sanders leading the group with 3 catches for 58 yards and a TD.
The Dallas run game keeps on dominating, as in today’s game all 3 RBs averaged over 9 YPC, totalling over 250 rushing yards and 4 TDs. Tony Pollard had 126 yards and 2 TDs on 12 carries, and would have finished with more if he did not leave the game early in the 2nd half. TreVeyon Henderson, who also left the game briefly but quickly returned, finished with 11 carries for 101 yards and a TD. In their absense, Deuce Vaughn, who did not have any touches coming into the game, had 2 carries for 26 yards and a TD.
While the defense was below their usual standard, allowing 24 points, they still put up a good statistical performance. The star studded defensive line sacked Lamar Jackson 5 times, led by Osa Odighizuwa who finished with 2.5 sacks. Lamar Jackson was also picked off twice, with Stephon Gilmore and Malik Hooker each having a interception, with Hooker’s being returned for a TD.
