The Dallas Cowboys improved to 4-1 overall, and 2-0 in the division with their 44-20 win over the New York Giants on Sunday. They beat up on another weak NFC East opponent, running their combined score this season against them to 85 to 41, +44. Quarterback Dak Prescott’s record against the NFC East improves to 21-6 and they now have a two-game lead in the division.
The game was a little bit of a let down, due to the amount of important players injured on the Giants team, but nobody cried for the Cowboys last year when they lost their quarterback and two starting offensive tackles. Dallas handled their business, winning all three games of their home stand in a stretch where home-field advantage means next to nothing around the NFL.
