But Andy Dalton is not Dak Prescott, who was off to the best start of his career and the best start ever by a Cowboys quarterback.

The offense will have to change to a degree, relying even more on the run game.

Once Dalton entered Sunday, the Cowboys used more of Elliott, who had 19 carries for 91 yards, behind a remade offensive line that included two undrafted free agents at tackle (Brandon Knight and Terence Steele) and a rookie at center, the story said. The good news for potential Dalton owners is, he has never had the skill-player talent he has in Elliott, Gallup, Cooper and Lamb.

Josh Allen’s shoulder will be a topic of conversation, but he already said he’ll play through the pain.

The story went on to say it may impact his ability to run and take hits, but Allen said it won’t limit him much given it’s his non-throwing shoulder. Allen looked good when he got into the facility Monday morning, the story added.

Quarterback Josh Allen’s play has been a big reason for the Bills’ undefeated start to the season, so there was reason to worry when he went to the locker room after coming down hard on his left shoulder in the first half of the game.

“It’s good,” Allen said, via Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. “I just landed it on it a little funky, but it’s just the left shoulder, it’s not the right one, thank God. It’ll be all right, it’s no big deal, I played through the pain and we’ll get some treatment on it this week, but it shouldn’t inhibit anything.”

Allen’s absence turned out to be a brief one. He returned to action and powered the team to a 4-0 record with two touchdown passes and a touchdown run in the 30-23 win over the Raiders. Allen said he doesn’t think it will hinder his preparation for this week.
