The Cowboys could sign Dalvin Cook as Tony Pollard’s backup. The Dallas Cowboys could be among the “best” fits for a recently released four-time Pro Bowl running back.

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor has thrown 80- and 69-yard touchdown passes to Darius Slayton in consecutive weeks. Robert Sabo for the NY Post Here’s one…
