The Dallas Cowboy s continue to win even without quarterback Dak Prescott. They just extended their undefeated streak to four games with a 22-10 victory against the Los Angeles Rams on the road in Week 5. It was a painful loss for yours truly, who had the Rams-5 in the game, but Dallas proved me wrong. There is still no assurance that Prescott will play in Week 6, but the Cowboys probably are not too worried about his status for now. There is something in Dallas that is working even though it's Cooper Rush who is handling the rock under center temporarily. Rush is still the inferior quarterback between him and Prescott, but it can't be denied that Dallas is undefeated with him this season starting.

Dallas committing to running the ball more while Prescott is out could be the formula that's been delivering success to the team, with Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard leading the way. In the Rams game, they combined for 164 rushing yards with th e latter scored a touchdown. Rush didn't do much of anything, with barely over 100 yards passing, but he hasn't needed to do anything special.

The defense is the talk of the town, and they are even chattering about defensive coordinator Dan Quinn getting a second chance at a head coaching position, which I would absolutely love. The guy was a money printing machine when he was with Atlanta, always fading him as a favorite. I'll give him credit, he does know how to run a defense. He's done a remarkable job with Dallas in his time with them, and he was also the man in charge of the infamous “Legion of Boom” in Seattle almost 10 years ago.

A trend for you: The Cowboys are 10-1 against the spread in their last 11 road games.
