FRISCO -- Dak Prescott returns to where it all began with a desire to lead the Cowboys back to a spot it hasn't known for 23 years.
Too much narrative flourish for your taste? A little heavy on the hyperbole?
What do you expect? Prescott leads the Cowboys into Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the site where his unlikely rise began nearly two-and-a-half years ago, only four quarters away from the NFC Championship Game.
And, as LA Rams cornerback Marcus Peters eloquently states, the Cowboys are "America's Team, so called.''
The Rams are favored. The Cowboys chances for an upset rest on the hot hand - and legs - of Prescott, the continued dominance Ezekiel Elliott, the threat of Amari Cooper and the highest-ranked defense remaining in the playoffs.
