At 5-1 entering their bye week, the Dallas Cowboys are in control in the NFC East, Globe Life Field hosts its first-ever high school football game and UNT is headed to the American Athletic Conference.
At 5-1 entering their bye week, the Dallas Cowboys are in control in the NFC East. Dak Prescott is playing at an MVP-caliber level and the offense is clicking. First-round draft pick Micah Parsons is impacting the defense faster than could have been reasonably predicted and Randy Gregory is playing like an All-Pro.
NFL writer Ted Nguyen of The Athletic joined the show to discuss the Cowboys through six weeks and explained that Dak Prescott's "command of the offense" is one of the reasons Dallas has seen its early-season success.
The other NFC East matchups Sunday: Panthers at Giants, Eagles at Raiders and Washington at Packers. This week on NBC's Sunday Night Football, San Francisco hosts Indianapolis.
