Cowboys #Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys, specifically, Dak Prescott and DaRon Bland, owned November.
Prescott and Bland were named the NFC’s offensive and defensive players of the month, respectively, on Thursday. The only other instance on record of two players from the same team winning both awards in the same month was in 2018 with Todd Gurley and Aaron Donald on the Rams.
During the month, Prescott threw the most touchdown passes (13) in the NFL and the most passing yards (1,298) in the NFC and had a passer rating of 121.7. It’s the first time in his career that Prescott has earned player of the month honors. He’s the third Cowboys quarterback to earn the honor, joining Troy Aikman and Tony Romo (four times).
Bland made history in the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving win over the Washington Commanders. His pick-six was his fifth of the season, making him the first player in NFL history to accomplish that feat. He had 20 tackles, three interceptions (two pick-sixes) and four passes defended.
