As the 2018 regular season draws to close, the identity of the Dallas Cowboys seems clear enough to both the fans and the experts.
They are a power running team, feeding their gifted rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott behind the best offensive line in football. Their young quarterback Dak Prescott isn’t a star but his athletic, smart, efficient and a leader. As for the defense, it may not be overwhelming but it’s high on energy, effort and timely impact.

The Cowboys have five 4th quarter comebacks this season.

Then in the Super Bowl they overcame a 16-0 deficit to come one-yard shy of forcing overtime, falling 23-16. The big question facing the Cowboys is experience. Tennessee already had their QB-RB combo playing a couple years. Prescott and Elliott are rookies. Everybody knows that rookies tend to exhibit their worst performances in the postseason. Can Dallas dare to break that can you order viagra from canada. mold?
