Dallas lost in Week 1 last year because of this OPI https://t.co/t3OW6YkDCB

Dak Prescott’s tonight performance proves that the Cowboys will win the NFC East.

Cowboys might have a kicker problem, tho. That's fun.

Trevon Diggs shadowed Mike Evans, aligning across from him on 39 of his 47 routes (83%).

Diggs allowed just 1 reception for 10 yards on 3 targets, and aligned in press coverage on over half of his routes vs Evans (51% press).#DALvsTB | #DallasCowboys pic.twitter.com/jp3kSKBSSh

Cowboys come up just short, falling to the defending Super Bowl champs, 31-29

There were a lot of positives for Dallas with the biggest being Dak Prescott playing well, completing 42 of 58 passes for 403 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 101.4 passer rating in his first game in almost a year

I cannot believe how much energy some people wasted arguing if Dak Prescott was really an elite quarterback.

Dak Prescott just went toe to toe with the goat 🐐 as well as the defending SuperBowl Champs. While not playing a significant snap since October, 11th 2020. He threw 58 passes for 403 Yds and 3 TD’s in his return. I’m so glad Dallas signed him long term. Dak Prescott is a true ✭ pic.twitter.com/MKqHgcCjT9

Heartbreaker for the Cowboys, especially considering the points they left on the board with special teams miscues. And obviously the no-OPI was huge.

On the bright side, Dak Prescott looked like That Dude. Not a bad consolation prize, even if nobody wants to hear it right now.

Dak Prescott is living up to the $75 million he's making this season.

10 catches for 116 yards and 2 TDs for Amari Cooper.

What a stud.

— Marcus Mosher (@Marcus_Mosher) September 10, 2021

Amari Cooper's 11 receptions are the most by a Cowboys player in the opening game of a season.

Amari Cooper is a pleasure to watch. pic.twitter.com/KiGmisoOKN

The good:

Dak Prescott, Tyron Smith, La'el Collins, Amari Cooper, Connor McGovern (gasp), DeMarcus Lawrence.

The bad:
Kicker, Anthony Brown, kicker, McCarthy in-game decisions, kicker

I guess I'm just confused as to what Dallas is paying all that money to Ezekiel Elliot to do….

— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) September 10, 2021

They might as well go ahead and trade Ezekiel Elliot to the Ravens. He would get more than 4 carries in the first half

— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) September 10, 2021

How many trade offers I’m going to be sending out for Ezekiel Elliot after he rushes 16 times for 54 yards tomorrow night: pic.twitter.com/hSe6Z3EWjm
