13. Dallas Cowboys (11)

Dak Prescott did just about everything right during his regular-season debut for the Dallas Cowboys against the Giants. The only problem for the rookie was the offense failed to find the end zone as much as they should have while settling for field goals instead.

The only touchdown scored by Dallas came on an eight-yard run by rookie Ezekiel Elliott–who struggled in his debut–in the third quarter, as the team relied on Dan Bailey‘s four field goals in this one. With an opportunity to get into field goal range at the end of the game, Terrance Williams made a terrible mistake by failing to get out of bounds, which resulted in the clock eventually running out since the Cowboys were out of timeouts.

After blowing by opponents in the preseason, Prescott’s numbers against the Giants may not have been that impressive, but it should also be noted didn’t record any turnovers, and avoided all sacks.
