The Dallas Cowboys got back in the win column on Sunday with a big 24-6 victory over the Detroit Lions.
While the Cowboys still trail the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants in the NFC East,
they are 5-2 and appear headed toward a postseason berth.
Oh, and Sunday also marked the return of starting quarterback Dak Prescott,
who had been out since exiting Week 1 with a thumb injury.
While backup Cooper Rush has played well in place of the 29-year-old,
he finally had a bad game in Week 6 in a disappointing loss to the division-leading Eagles.
With Prescott back in the fold, the Cowboys have the makings of a championship contender.
After starting slowly, Dallas eventually pulled away from the 1-5 Lions,
which is what's expected from a playoff team. It has done a good job of handling the teams
it's supposed to beat this season, and it will look to continue that trend next week against the Chicago Bears.
Here are our three biggest takeaways from the Cowboys' Week 7 win over the Lions.
The decision to be patient with Prescott's recovery seems to have paid off.
"Thumb feels pretty good," the signal-caller told reporters after the game.
