I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop in Dallas this entire season, but it just won't happen -- so rather than fight it, I'll just jump on the bandwagon. The Cowboys are clearly the most balanced and best overall team in the NFC. Unlike the AFC favorites -- the Patriots, who can change their entire offensive scheme from week to week -- the Cowboys don't overcomplicate the formula. They are going to line up and punish you with the most physical offensive line the NFL has seen in a decade, wearing you down with body blow after body blow. The difference with this rushing attack is that rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott is so much more than a downhill, punishing one-trick pony. He can hit the home run at any given moment with blazing speed -- and, like Adrian Peterson in his dominant years, Elliott can do it against a stacked box. In fact, he excels at it. Because once he punctures the first line of defense, there is no cavalry to come and save the day. The rushing game is also aided by stellar backups Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden -- the Cowboys can run at you all day.
