NFL RECAP: WEEK 5
Cowboys improve to 4-1 with win over Bengals
The Dallas Cowboys are 4-1. Dallas completely dominated the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, winning 28-14 as rookie Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott both had big games. Prescott went 18 of 24 for 227 yards and a touchdown passing, and ran for 4 yards and a touchdown. Elliott ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns, one of the touchdowns being a monster 60 yard run. Elliott has now ran 100+ yards in three games straight, the first Cowboys rookie to do so. Prescott still has not thrown an interception in his first five NFL games.
The Atlanta Falcons handed the Denver Broncos their first loss of 2016 on Sunday, winning 23-16 as Matt Ryan had a good game, going 15 of 28 for 267 yards and one touchdown passing. Running backs Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman combined for 119 yards and two touchdowns. The loss for Denver now puts the Minnesota Vikings as the only undefeated team in the NFL.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers stunned the Carolina Panthers 17-14 on Monday night in Charlotte. Robert Aguayo kicked a 38 yard field goal as the clock expired to win the game for Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston was 18 of 30 for 219 yards and a touchdown passing. Carolina quarterback Derek Anderson, who was filling in for the injured Cam Newton, passed for 278 yards and two interceptions. The Panthers, who went 15-1 last year, are now 1-4.
