The Dallas Cowboys continues to ride on the pig's back after defeating the Baltimore Ravens a 27-17 victory on Sunday's match. The Dallas Cowboys had also broken the franchise record for 9 consecutive wins on a single season in the NFL history.
According to The Followers, the Dallas Cowboys started the 2016 campaign by representing a stark contrast to the 4 wins and 12 losses records. But aided by a strong 2016 NFL draft class and an improved defense, the Dallas Cowboys owned the NFL league-best record and may have acquired two best players in the backfield, quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott.
The Cowboys are now 9-1.
