The Dallas Cowboys beat a team with a winning record for the third time in 2023, and for the first time the losing squad was still . In actuality, they blew out the team with the best record in the league, the Philadelphia Eagles. Since their bye week, Dallas has the best record in the NFL at 6-1 and this was their most complete victory. The offense scored on their first four possessions. The defense only allowed two field goals to the sixth-ranked offense in the league, and the special teams have Brandon Aubrey, who broke another kicking record by hitting from 60 and 59 yards in the same contest.
Dallas has had a ton of blowouts this year. They have won close games against the Los Angeles Chargers and at home against the Seattle Seahawks, and now they beat a championship contender. The next test to pass will be to win a road game against a top team. Buffalo fits that bill, pun intended. The Bills bring a tough challenge with a top-tier quarterback, receiver combo, and top-half-of-the-league rushing attack and defense.
The Cowboys can open many eyes if they go into a bad-weather road venue against a team fighting for their playoff lives and pull the upset. For Dallas to pull this off, it will require them to control the clock, limit a new playmaker, overcome their injuries, and capitalize on mistakes by the Bills.
