Crowder heating up:Jamison Crowder has 70+ receiving yards in each of his last 4 games.

Norman vs. Dez:In their first matchup this season, Josh Norman didn't allow Dez Bryant to catch a pass while he was in coverage.

Franchise QB?:Kirk Cousins is on pace to be the 2nd QB in NFL history to start 10+ games, have a 100+ passer rating and have a losing record in a season (the other was Drew Brees, in 2015 and 2016 with New Orleans).
