A stretch of five consecutive games against winning teams begins this Thursday with Seattle.

Since the 49ers loss, the Cowboys have played like one of the best teams in football.

They did lose to the Eagles on the road, but the offense put up over 450 yards, and they had plenty of chances to win the game.

Now, as Dak Prescott has continued to play well, it’s all about that they haven’t played anyone.

That is fine; we saw the Packers go into Detroit and beat the Lions on Thanksgiving. It happens in this league. The Cowboys are doing what they should be. Not even allowing these teams to make it a game.

That is something they have always struggled with… playing with their food.

Seattle is 6-5 and would be the seventh seed if the playoffs started today.

They struggled at home last Thursday against the 49ers.

They had a chance in the 3rd quarter to cut it to a one-score game, but once they had to settle for 3, making the score 24-13, the Niners ran away with it.

Seattle has beaten the Lions and the Browns, so if the Cowboys can pull out the win on Thursday, I don’t want anyone moving the goalposts and talking about them not being good.

Dating back to the start of last season, the Cowboys currently have a 13-game home winning streak. They are playing awesomely at AT&T Stadium.

The Cowboys have the toughest stretch of their schedule starting now, and the way they are playing should help because right after the Seahawks head out of town, they welcome the Eagles.

That matchup could be for first place in the NFC East.

Philly’s next two games are at home against Buffalo and the 49ers.

If they drop either of those games, December 10th is the season’s most-watched game. Dallas will have a chance to silence a lot of folks.

No quarterback in the NFL is playing better than Dak Prescott over the past six weeks.

Prescott has a passer rating of 122.6 with 1,874 yards, 18 touchdowns and two interceptions to lead the Dallas Cowboys (8-3) to five wins during that span.

He is ranked by Pro Football Focus as the highest-graded quarterback in the NFL and put himself firmly in the running for league MVP honors.

And as much Prescott gets over analyzed and over scrutinized when he doesn’t play well, he is likewise getting his flowers nationally for his career-best hot streak.

The same can’t be said about coach Mike McCarthy, who is the true mastermind behind the Cowboys offense as the play caller and offensive coordinator.

McCarthy got a lot of blame for the early-season struggles on offense when the Cowboys had the league’s 17th-ranked offense and 20th-ranked passing attack through the first five weeks.

It was perceived as an issue with McCarthy’s archaic offensive philosophy and an example of the modern game passing him by, largely based on his rhetoric during the offense of not worrying about having a highly-ranked offense and being more focused on running the damn ball to protect his defense.

Prescott points to the changes he made following the 42-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers when he completed 14 of 24 passes for 153 yards with 1 touchdown and thre interceptions.

He started using his feet more.

It’s also when McCarthy cut Prescott loose and released the reigns on the offense.

And as much has Prescott is in a zone, the same is true for McCarthy, whose offense rose to sixth in yards, sixth in passing and second in points while leading the league with 29 10-play drives before last Thursday’s 45-10 Thanksgiving Day feast of the Washington Commander
