Jordan Hayes: "Dallas couldn't protect the football: 4 turnovers in a game where both offenses were unstoppable meant the G-Men's 5 giveaways didn't matter, because Dallas couldn't afford to lose that turnover battle and still expect to win a shootout."

The Giants won 48-35 in what everybody in the building already knew was coming: a shootout where Dallas's passing attack moved at will but couldn't stay out of its own way. Dak Prescott threw for 627 yards and 5 touchdowns against 4 interceptions, KaVontae Turpin caught 8 for 333 yards, and the Cowboys racked up 633 total yards—and still lost by 13 because they fumbled and threw it away 4 times and managed 6 rushing yards on the season. Jaxson Dart matched Prescott's 5 touchdown passes on 21 of 32 for 324 yards, and New York's passing game found every soft spot: they scored 48 points despite losing the ball 5 times themselves. Both rooms watched their quarterbacks put on clinic exhibitions; only one team had the discipline to keep from killing itself in the process.

Cowboys needed all sixty minutes, edging Jaguars 24-21. Dak Prescott was steady for Cowboys — 28/37, 242 yards, 2 TD. Trevor Lawrence did the damage for Jaguars — 18/28, 222 yards, 1 TD — in a losing effort. Through the air: Cowboys 242, Jaguars 222.

Cowboys 49, Ravens 15, and it was not that close. Dak Prescott was steady for Cowboys — 11/15, 281 yards, 5 TD, 2 INT. Lamar Jackson did the damage for Ravens — 10/26, 260 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT — in a losing effort. Total yards: Cowboys 452, Ravens 342.
