5 takeaways from Patriots’ hard-fought victory over Cowboys

Here are five takeaways from the Patriots — win over the Cowboys.

Stephon Gilmore dominated his matchup with Amari Cooper

Stephon Gilmore continues to prove why he’s the best cornerback in the NFL.

Gilmore covered the Cowboys’ best receiver, Amari Cooper, and he left him without a catch in the game. Cooper has been held without a catch once in his career while playing more than 20 snaps in a game before this game. This makes for Gilmore’s second-straight game that he hasn’t allowed a catch.

Gilmore continues to anchor the secondary that has intercepted 20 passes through 12 weeks.
