The Dallas Cowboys rolled over the division rival Giants in Week 5. Trevon Diggs continued his incredible interception streak, Dak Prescott finally put his 2020 ankle injury to rest almost exactly a year later, and Ezekiel Elliott had a close call with a piece of field equipment that most people had never thought much about before.
Elsewhere, the Cowboys likely won’t rush any of their injured reserve players back and are expected to wait until after the Week 7 bye to re-activate some of their stars. Wideout Amari Cooper has broken an unofficial rule by mentioning that game at the end of the season that teams aren’t supposed to talk about. Linebacker Jabril Cox could be looking at a bump in playing time, the Cowboys offense made an impressive statement late on Sunday, and the Giants receiver who was ejected for throwing a punch has apologized. Just not to the punch’s target.
The numbers show that throwing at Diggs is statistically the worst thing a quarterback can do… and it turns out the talented corner was playing Week 5 at way less than 100%. All that, plus all of our Cowboys Wire coverage of Sunday’s win… and rookie phenom Micah Parsons shows off his competitive side, even when it doesn’t matter in the slightest. Here’s the News and Notes.
