The Good, Bad and Ugly: Cowboys overcome slow start as stars outshine Giants, 44-20

While the Cowboys ended up cruising thanks to their offensive prowess, the pass defense was once again thwarted by a menacing opponent. A look at what went right, wrong and sideways in Week 5. | From @BenGrimaldi

The Dallas Cowboys won their fourth game in a row Sunday, beating the rival New York Giants, 44-20. For the second consecutive week, the Cowboys pulled away thanks to a second-half scoring barrage to make it look easy on the scoreboard, but it was one of the strangest games the teams have played lately.

Injuries relegated the Giants to mostly second-stringers on offense, but the Cowboys responded with some sloppy play. Dallas got the win in some of the same ways they’ve been successful on the season.

Here’s the good, the bad and the ugly in a Week 5 victory for the now 4-1 Cowboys.
