The Dallas Cowboys improved to 6-3 on the year after blowing the Giants out for the second time this season.
The final score was 49-17.
The game started a bit shaky for Dallas, they drove right down the field on the opening possession and turned it over on downs from the goal line. Shocker.
The next two drives the Giants started inside their own five yard line, and they avoided a safety each time.
The Cowboys got the scoring started with a reverse to CeeDee Lamb, a 14 yard touchdown.

Dak Prescott shook off an early interceptions, and would play nearly perfect football after that.
Brandin Cooks finally looks like the guy they hoped he’d be when trading for him this march.
The Cowboys led 28-0 at the break.

Second half
The Giants got the ball to start the second half. Dante Fowler started the third quarter with a 8-yard sack. That was followed by a sack from DeMarcus Lawrence.
Prescott and the offense would only gain 8 yards and have to punt.
The Giants finally found the end zone on their second drive of the second half. That cut the Cowboys lead to 21.
The next offensive drive for the Cowboys ended with seven points to extend the lead to 28 again.
The offense went 6 plays, 86 yards for the touchdown. Including a 41-yarder to Michael Gallup after 28-yard third-down conversion to CeeDee Lamb.
With that reception, @_CeeDeeThree now has 11 catches for 151 yards, establishing an NFL record in the Super Bowl era with his third consecutive game of 10 catches and 150 yards. There have been eight other players in NFL history with a two-game streak.

It is about time Gallup was able to make a play.
I have been hard on him all year, so it was nice to see him make a big time play.
Now let’s hope this gets a little confidence going forward.
The defense forced their first turnover late in the third, DaRon Bland did again, intercepting a Tommy DeVito pass.
Prescott then found Lamb for a 12 yard touchdown making the Cowboys lead 41-7.
As Prescott exited the game, he completed 26 of 35 passes for 404 yards with four touchdowns, one interception and a rushing touchdown.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is done for the day.
Prescott over the last 4 games:
101 of 140 passing, 1,354 yards, 12 TDs, 2 INTs, 125.1 passer rating.
19 rushes, 90 yards, 2 TDs

Even in the loss to the Eagles, he was just this good. I think it is fair to say that, Prescott at least right now is the least of the teams worries.
Prescott finished with his 10th career game of 400 plus passing yards. The most of any player in Cowboys history.
Backup time
As Cooper Rush and others entered the game, the Cowboys were up 42-7.
Rush was airing it out with no problems, but his pass intended for Jalen Tolbert was intercepted near the beginning of the 4th quarter.
The Cowboys did a lot of good things in this game, but that was suppose to happen.
The Giants are pretty close to the worst team in football, and the team did exactly what they needed to do.
Cowboys nickel CB Jourdan Lewis is in the sideline medical tent. Unclear the exact nature of injury, although he pointed to right shoulder at one point when speaking with medical staff.

One thing I will say is that Rico Dowdle RUNS hard and should be given a chance to get early work going forward.
He finished the game with 12 carries for 79 yards and touchdown.
I love Tony Pollard, but they just can’t seem to get him going early.
The Dallas offense finished with 641 yards. Wow.
Dallas should handle the Panthers next week, and then Washington, setting up another chance at the NFC East when the Eagles come to town.
The Eagles play the Chiefs, Bills and 49ers before they play again.
Good win, now do it again next week.
