Cowboys vs. Buccaneers rookie report: Vander Esch and Gallup help Cowboys clinch divisional title

The Dallas Cowboys turned around its season in a big way — going from a 3-5 record to a divisional title with a week remaining in the regular season. For the second time in three seasons (and the Dak and Zeke era), the Cowboys are NFC East champions and will host a playoff game.

A big part of that is because of the play from the rookies. Will McClay and company have done a fantastic job of finding and identifying talent in the draft, and this latest class has been no exception. The Cowboys have an instant impact player at linebacker and a wide receiver that continues to impress on the outside.
