How DaRon Bland broke NFL pick-6 record, Cowboys dominated Commanders on Thanksgiving Day

It feels like the Cowboys have been playing the exact same game for the past three weeks. They come into the game as the heavy favorites, it takes them just a little bit to get going but then once they do, they're an absolute force. The offense, in particular, looks like a well-oiled machine right now.

Obviously, Dak Prescott is the leader in that but his supporting cast is heavily involved. It started with a 35-yard catch by Jake Ferguson in what may have been Prescott's best pass of the season. Prescott was backed up deep in his own end and threw a laser down the seam to Ferguson in triple coverage.

Later in the half, Brandin Cooks ran a beautiful route and got wide open in the end zone. Then, on the final drive of the half, Tony Pollard finished in the end zone with authority for a second consecutive week.

The defense has been playing well, too. The pass rush is getting home, which was expected against Howell, who has been sacked the most in the NFL this year. DaRon Bland had a drive in which he got picked on but that could very well be a precursor to him making a big play in the second half.

Overall, the Cowboys are in full groove right now and just need to keep their foot on the gas.
