Cooks got loose in the Browns secondary in the first quarter and Dak Prescott found him for a short score in what would become a blowout victory for Dallas. Only CeeDee Lamb drew more targets than Cook, who ran a full complement of routes as the Cowboys' WR2. Cooks will face his former team, the Saints, in what could be a Week 2 shootout.
Dak Prescott says his motivation is to now live up to the deal that made him the NFL's top-paid player and help the Cowboys win a Super Bowl.
It was a quiet, game-managing performance for Prescott. Dallas cruised to victory on the strength of a dominant defensive and special teams performance against the lowly Browns. The Cowboys mostly ran out of the clock in the fourth quarter with a three-score lead.
The command of Dallas' offense that Dak Prescott showed on Sunday is proof that he is worth his record contract, Tom Brady explained in a FOX Sports digital exclusive.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott threw for just 179 yards and 1 TD in Sunday's 33-17 victory at Cleveland. He completed 19 of 32 passes while taking three sacks. He started stronger, with 156 yards and the scoring toss to WR Brandin Cooks before halftime but went quiet in the second half.
