(Arlington) Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys must play one last game before the long-awaited resumption of a duel between rivals from the Eastern section of the National Association.
This time, it will be the Seattle Seahawks, a club with a winning record, who will take the AT pitch
The Texan team, which is currently enjoying a series of 13 home victories, has beaten three consecutive sluggish clubs by an average difference of 30 points. The Seahawks (6-5) represent a tougher opponent, although the Cowboys are a nine-point favorite, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
But the Cowboys swear they’re focused on their next game, not the Eagles, who beat them 28-23 in Philadelphia in early November in a game Dallas easily could have won.
“The Seahawks will give us enough trouble already,” admitted Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. There will be a long break between the game against the Seahawks and the next one. I don’t think this will be an issue. »
Prescott is currently enjoying one of the best stretches of his career. The star quarterback has thrown 18 touchdown passes and thrown just two interceptions since having one of his career-worst games on Oct. 8 in a 42-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The Seahawks have just suffered a 31-13 defeat against the Niners on American Thanksgiving, for their second loss in a row. Their quarterback Geno Smith also had to end a streak of 20 consecutive possessions without scoring an offensive touchdown.
Before the two-game drought, Smith had a career-high 369 yards in a win over the Washington Commanders.
“First of all, he needs to get healthy again. He needs to get fully healthy and have a good week of practice and then things will get back to normal, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said of the elbow injury. by Smith. He had one of his best career matches a few weeks ago. We just need to be on the same page. »
