Know for his befitting replies, outspoken comments and speaking his mind out, Stephen A. Smith, a well-known critic of the Dallas Cowboys, acknowledged “impressive elements” in the Cowboys’ recent win. The defence also put up a masterful performance, contributing to the victory.

Despite the instances of penalties and sluggish play, the team bounced back from a previous rout, with Dak Prescott leading the charge. He threw for 272 yards and a touchdown, demonstrating his readiness for the game. However, Smith praised the team’s overall performance and speculated if they continue to play with the current form, they could make some buzz in the NFC. This win has paved optimism for the Cowboys as they move forward in the season.

Stephen A. Smith, a well-known Cowboys critic, found himself on the other side of his vocals. As he has been firm about his views and straight away criticism for the Dallas Cowboys, his recent words defy his earlier self. Smith said, “You need the mobility of Dak Prescott to take you back to his first four years in the league when he was making noise and he had all of us clamour for him to get paid because he showed versatility and was a dual threat over the last few years.”

Praising Dak Prescott for his run last game, Smith added, “We haven’t seen as much of that from a Dak Prescott so to see someone to his runs last night. I definitely think that was a plus, I think CeeDee Lamb, balling out the way that he did was a plus Brandin Cooks used him be score a touchdown, making some key catches down the stretch.” With his thoughts changing, looks like the Cowboys’ impactful performance forced him to praise the Cowboys’ recent win.
