Redskins' Kelley challenges 'Cowgirls' as Norman praises Prescott
The Washington Redskins seem to have some mixed emotions about their upcoming game with the 9-1 Dallas Cowboys.
In their first seasons with the team, cornerback Josh Norman is impressed with the division rival, while rookie running back Rob Kelley is apparently trying to stir the pot:

Kelley is feeling pretty good after his three touchdown performance Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, but Norman sounds worried about facing another rookie - Dak Prescott.
"He's very patient," Norman said, according to Jon Machota of Dallas Morning News. "He's not going to make any mistakes. If it's not there, he's taking off with the ball. That's the thing most rookies don't learn until they're in their third or fourth year, maybe, if they're still in the league. It's kind of crazy because he sees it and if it's not there, he's not taking it.
"He's playing really good ball. I like him a lot. I tried to get him on a couple things when we played him, he wasn't having it. That let me know, OK, this guy's pretty good."
Though, the most conflicted Redskin may be another first-year player, hybrid linebacker Su'a Cravens, whose grandmother sent him a rather un-supportive test this week:
