Cowboys' offensive DNA is changing: It's now about Dak Prescott's arm

DETROIT – Since 2014, the Dallas Cowboys' offensive DNA has been their run game with DeMarco Murray and Ezekiel Elliott leading the league in rushing in 2014, 2016 and 2018. With the way quarterback Dak Prescott is playing, that appears to be changing.

Prescott threw for 444 yards on 29 of 46 passing and had touchdown passes to Randall Cobb, Tony Pollard and Elliott in the Cowboys' 35-27 win against the Detroit Lions (3-6-1).

This was a must-win for the Cowboys (6-4), who had lost four of their past seven games, considering the Philadelphia Eagles are nipping at their heels in the NFC East and their wild-card chances are almost nil.
