(Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images) | Getty Images The Dallas Cowboys won a football game on Sunday. When this is true the other things that surround it are much easier to deal with. There will only be 16 winners in the NFL this week and that Dallas is one of them is what matters the most.But just because you win does not mean that everything went perfectly in the process. This was clearly the case for Dallas and that is represented by our stock report following the win over Washington.Stock Up: Dak PrescottWe have to lead with the record-setter, and in case you somehow missed it Dak Prescott became the franchise’s all-time leader in passing touchdowns during this game. He entered three behind Tony Romo (248) and now has 249 total and counting.Next Gen Stats noted that Prescott generated +17.9 EPA across his dropbacks in this game, the most among any quarterback who has faced a pressure rate above 40% in a given game over the last two seasons. This is truly elite territory here.What’s more is that Dak is pushing the envelope. All four of his touchdowns traveled at least 10 yards downfield in the air, tied for his career-high. Pretty impressive stuff.Stock Up: Brian SchottenheimerWhen the quarterback plays well that means that the offensive play-caller is doing something right, so Brian Schottenheimer deserves credit as well. What’s more is that Schotty came off of the start line in fifth gear. It was clear that the Cowboys wanted to set the tempo in a way that they failed to do so against the Giants and they certainly accomplished that on offense.It is also worth noting that there were few silly or avoidable penalties from the team overall, something that was of concern following how the Cowboys played in the opener. Schotty clearly got through to them.Stock Up: CeeDee LambCeeDee Lamb finished the game with over 150 yards receiving and a pair of touchdowns. That is a solid day’s work if I have ever seen one.All of the George Pickens fanfare throughout training camp (justified fanfare to be clear) really made people kind of forget who Lamb is and what he is capable of. Nobody will forget any time soon.Stock Up: Jake FergusonWe have often said that when players like Lamb and Pickens are drawing so much coverage that someone else has to take advantage of that benefit. That person was clearly Jake Ferguson in this game.Ferguson “only” had four receptions, but half of them were scores. He could have arguably had another if Prescott had found him before a Cowboys field goal, something the broadcast talked about as they showed Dak realizing that himself while looking at the tablet on the sidelines.Having a tight end with such a high level of comfort in the middle of the field is a huge positive, and Dallas absolute
