T.He said the Dallas Cowboys won their game on Sunday, but they lost a lot more. With six minutes left in the third quarter, quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a catastrophic injury to his ankle. It was a devastating blow to the Cowboys, who had to find a way to continue without their most important player and second reminder.
After the game, -3 37–34 after the win, the team announced that Prescott had a compound fracture and a right ankle. It’s too early to expect a timetable for his return, but it’s hard to imagine Prescott returning this season. This is no small matter since Prescott came into the campaign playing under a one-year franchise tag. They were ready to sign a huge deal with the Cowboys (or other team) at the end of the season. That deal – and his future with Dallas – is now less clear as teams may have good doubts about his health. Meanwhile, Cowboy P te will turn to quarterback Andy Dalton, who he brought exactly for this type of scenario. Dalton is one of the most qualified backup quarterbacks in the league, but he is still one step down from Prescott, leading the league in total passing yards this season.
Putting football aside, it’s hard for Prescott not to feel like a person. He made headlines earlier this year after he opened up about his struggles with depression. In addition, he has spoken of the deaths of both his mother, who died of colon cancer in 2013, and his brother, who took his own life earlier this year. In sports, there is a tendency for some to regard mental illness as a weakness and Prescott’s honesty about his own struggles was fresh and brave. His affection was evident in his teammates as both the Giants and the Cowboys were shocked to see Prescott kicked off the field.
Time seems particularly ruthless. The biggest story in the NFL on Sunday before Prescott’s injury includes the return of Washington quarterback Alex Smith. Smith suffered a horrific leg injury in 2018, an injury that led to life-threatening complications and was seen as a potential career impact. When he replaced Kyle Allen in the quarterback, it was his first NFL action in two years.
Commentator The Thesman, whose name is synonymous with horrific sports injuries, thanked many NFL fans for discussing Smith’s return on Monday night footballer in 1985, thanks to a fracture of the final combination of the career he endured: Is spectacular. Field. I am so thrilled and excited for her. “
It’s not hard for Smith to be affected by just one devastating injury (and 17 surgeries), but to really get to the point where he can play in the NFL again. That being said, watching Smith return to action against the Los Angeles Rams was not an entirely enjoyable experience. Shortly after entering the game, Smith was fired by the Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Smith was not hurt at the play, but given what he went through, it was hard to testify.
Ramsey beat Washington 30-10, but he was almost on the point. Smith’s return was one of those emotional moments we all love to share, the positive story over the years in which they supply short. So, of course, it didn’t last. A few hours later, a tearful Prescott was casting doubt on his future. When we all choose a good comeback story in the NFL, it’s hard not to wish there weren’t so many.
State of the Week
Two. How many times did the New York Jets score in the fourth-one situation, and both of these examples came in the first five minutes of their game against the Arizona Cardinals. If you’re wondering when the last time something happened, it’s good that it never happened (or, at least, since 1994 when they didn’t start keeping track of things like that). You have to credit head coach Adam Gass for finding completely new ways to leave just before the Jets start. The Cardinals, as you might guess, won 30-10, while the Jets are now 0-5 in the season.
MVP of the week

Here’s the good news, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff: You’ve just made a touchdown and your team is heading for a 30-10 win over Washington. The bad news? Well, you tied the “football spiking” celebration so badly that it’s something people will remember.

“I have taken many sad steps on that ramp, but not today. I enjoy this. “- Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carey wins 40-32 against his team at the Arrowhead Stadium against the Kansas City Chiefs.
It turns out that chiefs are mortal after all. In the first half, the Chiefs’ game seemed to be in good hands, as the Super Bowl champions led the Raiders to double-digits at one point during the second quarter. However, it seems that a completely different chiefs team has taken the field after halftime. Kansas City could not score in the second half until four minutes were left. At the time, the riders were comfortably ahead. The raiders handed over their first losses to the chiefs since last November. Cary threw his best game as a professional, probably, up to 347 yards and three touchdowns.
Elsewhere around the league
* In their first post-Bill O’Brien era game, the Houston Texans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-14 for their first win of the season. Granted, it happened mainly because the Jaguars are one of the few teams to have started their season almost as badly as Houston, but when you’re 0-4, you’ll win as much as you can.
* Russell Wilson can cook even after that. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback demonstrated his Pluto-like cool with 15 seconds left in DK Metcalfe’s touchdown pass to win 27-26 over the Minnesota Vikings. The Seahawks are now 5-0 for the first time in their history.
* Less than four years ago, it looked like Dan Quinn was the seal on the Super Bowl title for the Atlanta Falcons. His team then collapsed with a 28-3 lead over the New England Patriots in the most infamous loss in NFL history. On Sunday, Quinn was fired along with general manager Thomas Dimitroff after the Falcons lost 0-5 to the Carolina Panthers for the season. Falcons starting quarterback Matt Ryan is 35 and the way things are going, Atlanta could be in Trevor Lawrence’s draft position as he picks No. 1 overall in next year’s draft.
After missing two games in the ankle, San Francisco 49-year-old quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo returned on Sunday, but could not survive. The Miami Dolphins were beating the Ninners 30-7 at halftime and head coach Kyle Shanahan decided to give CJ Beathard a start in the second half. The Dolphins won with a final score of Dol 43-43 of. Now the question is whether this benching was to protect Garoppolo from injury or not as a sign of things to come.
* Coronavirus affects entire NFL teams. Additional positive tests for both the New England Patriots and the Tennessee Titans forced the league to re-work on the full schedule, and in the case of the Patriots, to reschedule an already rescheduled game.
