Ravens vs. Cowboys 2016 live stream: How to watch Week 11 matchup online

The Dallas Cowboys are riding high at 8-1 thanks to their electric rookie duo of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott. They’ll try to keep their hot streak going when they host the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11.

The Cowboys beat the Pittsburgh Steelers last week in a thrilling game that might have been the best of the season. After an intense back-and-forth matchup with multiple lead changes, the Steelers seemingly had the game won when Ben Roethlisberger fooled the defense with a fake spike and hit Antonio Brown in the end zone with 42 seconds left. However, Prescott marched his offense down the field and Elliott sealed the victory with a 32-yard touchdown run, his third score of the day. Dallas now has a comfortable lead in the NFC East and a stranglehold on the No. 1 playoff seed in the conference.

The Ravens are 5-4 after easily dispatching the Cleveland Browns last Thursday night. They have the Cowboys to thank for keeping the Steelers in second place in the AFC North. Baltimore has a one-game lead on Pittsburgh and owns the head-to-head tiebreaker for now. Although their offense is still struggling, they’re mostly in good shape to return to the playoffs after last year’s injury-marred 5-11 campaign.

1. Ezekiel Elliott is the damn truth. Elliott is the first running back to reach 1,000 yards this season, and he did it in just nine games. He’s averaging 5.1 yards per carry and has 10 total touchdowns, tied for third in the league. With a perfect storm of talent, opportunity, and an elite offensive line, Elliott is laying waste to his opponents. Forget about Offensive Rookie of the Year -- he’s making a legitimate case to be the league MVP.

2. Dak Prescott is pretty good, too. Let’s not forget about the other rookie sensation in Dallas. Pressed into duty after Tony Romo suffered a back injury in preseason, the fourth-round QB from Mississippi State is having an excellent season under center, rendering Romo almost an afterthought. He’s thrown for 2,339 yards, 14 touchdowns, and just two interceptions, averaging 8.4 yards per attempt and putting up a strong 106.2 QB Rating. Now that Dez Bryant is healthy again, the Cowboys’ offense is plowing full steam ahead, dominating time of possession and grinding teams to dust. It certainly doesn’t hurt that the defense, which is ordinary on paper, has mostly played above its talent level. Dallas is 12th in yards allowed per game and eighth in points allowed per game. This is a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

3. The Ravens are still looking for an offensive identity. Joe Flacco simply doesn’t look the same after tearing his ACL last season. Through nine games, he has just nine touchdown passes to go along with nine interceptions, averaging a career-low 6.3 yards per attempt. In addition, the running game has been stuck in mud all year and neither Terrance West nor Kenneth Dixon has been able to get out of first gear. Baltimore is averaging just 85.9 rushing yards per game, 28th in the league. The defense is still good enough to keep the Ravens afloat, and could even propel them to the division title. But if they want to play any deeper into January, they need to find some answers on offense in a hurry.
