Unlike the past two losses, against the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the Cowboys' offense was able to answer after the New York Giants opened with a field goal drive. It wasn't always pretty thanks to some penalties, but the drive ended with a 15-yard screen pass from Dak Prescott to running back Rico Dowdle to give Dallas a 7-3 lead.

Dak Prescott is cooking with grease now. After missing on his only pass on a three-and-out to start the game, Prescott went 9-for-9 for 82 yards and a touchdown on the Cowboys’ second possession. Rico Dowdle scored on a 15-yard catch-and-run to give the Cowboys a 7-3 lead.
