The McCarthy Chronicles: Dak Prescott is back, but Cowboys coach needs to act like it

Dak Prescott made his return to the football field and completed 76% of his passes for 207 yards and a touchdown en route to a 24-6 beatdown of the struggling Lions. The win bumped the Cowboys up to 5-2 on the year and has the team poised to start another run after losing to the Eagles a week ago.
