Even Tony Romo acknowledges that Dak Prescott is ‘the man’

There’s just no denying it now. The Cowboys are Dak Prescott’s team.

Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports

Tony Romo will suit up for the first time this season when the Cowboys take on the Ravens in Week 11. But, as you’ve probably heard by now, he’ll be backing up Dak Prescott. It should be clear that the Cowboys are Prescott’s team now, Sunday’s comeback win against the Steelers sealed it.

Even Romo himself is acknowledging that fact.

The veteran quarterback told Stephen Jones after Sunday’s win, as Prescott walked the two of them: “That ain’t (blank) easy, and he’s the man.”

But set aside Dak for a minute. Let’s talk about Ezekiel Elliott’s case to be the league MVP.

Speaking of that Cowboys-Steelers game ... WOW! It was the best game we’ve seen in a long, long time. This proves it.

As a matter of fact, it was just a great weekend of football all around.

SEAHAWKS-PATRIOTS

The stakes weren’t as high in this one as they were the last time these two teams met, but it was still a great game. Yes, it was decided on the 1-yard line. And there was controversy over a pass interference non-call.

The Seahawks are done thinking about their loss to the Patriots in Super Bowl 49. They’re thinking about the next Super Bowl.

CAN’T MISS PLAYS FROM WEEK 10

Jets QB Bryce Petty has his first TD pass -- on a hook-and-ladder play.

See? Jay Cutler CAN throw touchdowns and not just interceptions (but he still throws a lot of those, too).

Jameis Winston made the Bears’ defense look a little silly on what might be the play of the season.

Marcus Peters wants to be the Chiefs’ second-string punter so much that he booted a football toward the crowd.

THIS WEEK IN OFFICIATING ADVENTURES

Another Seahawks game ended in a no-call, but this time the refs got it right.

Richard Sherman was called for a facemask penalty when all he did was grab Julian Edelman’s shoulder pad. I’m sure we won’t hear anymore about this, huh?

The officials missed a pretty blatant facemask penalty that happened to Cole Beasley.

The refs missed a helmet-to-helmet hit and Eagles WR Jordan Matthews wasn’t happy about it.

There’s no napping in football, Tajae Sharpe.

LOWLIGHTS

Blake Bortles threw his ninth career pick-six and then just stood still instead of making a tackle. Later, he added this odd turnover that bounced off his teammate.

Titans offensive lineman Taylor Lewan earned his second ejection of the year.

The longest drive in Panthers’ franchise history ended with a punt.

The Titans learned that if you mess with Aaron Rodgers you get the rest of the Packers, too.

Not a great penalty for the Eagles to take so late in their game.

The Titans started the game off with a terrible onside kick. The Packers later matched them.

Alex Smith threw the ball twice in one play. Yeaaaah, you can’t do that.

Whoops, the Steelers blocked their own two-point conversion attempt.
