3 stars from Cowboys’ upset Week 2 victory over Bengals

A dominant defensive performance was augmented by two players who have risen together from the bottom of the depth chart. @CDPiglet takes a look at the top players from Sunday night.

The Dallas Cowboys came in to the game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a record of 0-1 after an abysmal performance last week. The loss was compounded by injury to quarterback Dak Prescott. In order to defeat the AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, they were going to need a much better all-around performance. They got it.

The offense did more than just not lose the game, they literally went out and won it with a last-minute drive. The defense kept the game close as they held a high-powered offense to only 17 points, and made Bengals QB Joe Burrow uncomfortable all night. The special teams unit was special as well with two field goals of 50-plus yards, including the game winner as time expired. When a team plays a complete and competitive game like Dallas did Sunday night, it makes it difficult to narrow down the three best stars of it.
