Dak Prescott and Dez Bryant hooked up for a pair of second-half touchdown passes, and after a slow offensive start the Cowboys took control and beat the Ravens Sunday.
Prescott threw for 301 yards, Ezekiel Elliott ran for 97 yards against the league’s best run defense and the Cowboys won their ninth-straight game to improve to 9-1.
Bryant caught six passes for 80 yards. Bryant and Elliott got going in the second half as the Cowboys took control.
Prescott was 6-of-6 on the drive that ended with Bryant’s second touchdown catch. The Cowboys went 88 yards in 13 plays and only faced one third down on the drive.
The Cowboys punted on their first four possessions. They didn’t punt again.
Down 24-10, the Ravens answered with a touchdown drive early in the fourth quarter to get back within seven, but they couldn’t get a stop. The Cowboys then went 72 yards in 13 plays, with Elliott leading the way, and Dan Bailey’s second field goal of the day clinched it.
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco threw for 269 yards. The Ravens led 7-0 and 10-3 in the first half, but once the Cowboys got rolling the Ravens couldn’t slow them down.
The Ravens slip to 5-5 and are even atop the AFC North with the Steelers. The Ravens are ahead for now by virtue of their win over the Steelers earlier this month. The teams play again on Dec. 25.
