With the “Beckham Bowl” coming up on Thanksgiving Day, Dak Prescott says he’s reached out to the former Giants receiver about joining the silver and blue; a win could help Dallas land the free agent talent. A win is all Ezekiel Elliott cares about, much more so than whether teammate Tony Pollard’s hot streak is costing the two-time rushing champ carries. All that, plus the Cowboys show up in a look at the fastest ball carriers of Week 11, we explore the deep ties between the Giants and Cowboys, and we close the book on Minnesota with the lessons that should stay with us.
Meanwhile, the sickness bug is still wreaking havoc on the Cowboys defense, and Micah Parsons says he’s going to remain mad about letting earlier opponents steal their “lunch money.” The Cowboys climb in the power rankings, why the club should make a move for a recent Rams castoff, and the Final Four is coming to the home of the Cowboys (though you have plenty of time to get ready). That and more in this edition of News and Notes.
The Cowboys quarterback says he’s communicated directly with Beckham about coming to Dallas. “When you are able to add a talent like Odell, that can be special,” he said Tuesday. “He obviously creates more weapons, for not only me, but for this offense, for the playcaller, and [gives] more things for the defense to worry about.”
The bug that went around last week knocked Kelvin Joseph out of Sunday’s game, and it’s still spreading throughout the Dallas locker room. Tarell Basham, Dante Fowler, Johnathan Hankins, and DeMarcus Lawrence also sat out Tuesday with an illness. Anthony Barr missed with a hamstring, while Ezekiel Elliott (knee), Micah Parsons (knee, ankle) and Osa Odighizuwa (knee) were limited.
The defense’s total containment of the Vikings on Sunday won’t have Micah Parsons easing up anytime soon. “I’m staying mad. Once the disrespect is out there, people are going to still try you,” Parsons said on Tuesday. “I’m at that point: ‘That’s enough, you’re not going to keep taking my lunch money.’”
The Cowboys have now surpassed the Eagles for the NFC’s best point differential, Tony Pollard is no flash in the pan but on an absolute tear that’s lasted three games, the offensive line is actually getting better, and maybe the run defense giving up lots of yards doesn’t matter as much…
