Flu Rapidly Spreading Through Cowboys Locker Room Ahead of Patriots Matchup
By Michael Luciano
Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots are up to their usual tricks ahead of their massive matchup against Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys, as they seem to have resorted to biological warfare to grab the upper hand.
Several prominent Cowboys players came down with the flu this week, including starting defensive backs Jourdan Lewis and Xavier Woods. As a precaution, the Cowboys gave quarterback Dak Prescott some preventative medication.
Flu bug has swept the Cowboys this week. Joe Thomas and Ben Bloom have it. Justin March has a respiratory infection, Jordan Lewis and Xavier Woods just recovered from it. Cowboys gave Dak Prescott some medicine as a precaution for any issues.

The Cowboys are already major underdogs this week, but if they lost Prescott and had to start Cooper Rush, they might as well not even bother getting on the flight to Foxborough.
Prescott, who is currently leading the NFL in passing yards, was just named NFC offensive player of the week after ripping apart the Detroit Lions to the tune of 444 passing yards and three touchdowns.

Even though Lamar Jackson beat up on the New England defense, that's still a fierce unit that can easily overwhelm Prescott. If he ends up getting sick, you might as well chalk up yet another win for New England.
