The Cowboys are going to have to shift their QB play for the rest of 2020, as quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a gruesome ankle injury during Sunday’s win over the Giants.
The game took on a totally different feel when Prescott when down and was replaced by backup Andy Dalton, who led Dallas to the last play win.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Prescott will have surgery on the broken ankle, and with the recovery it would seem next to impossible that he’d be able to return in 2020, meaning that it’s now Dalton’s team.
