Sierra Vaughn: "Dallas threw 4 interceptions and could not stop Los Angeles from moving the ball at will—Herbert and Gadsden put up 484 and 196 yards respectively, and that gap in execution separated an 11-point game from a rout." Riley Parker: "Dak Prescott threw 51 points' worth of passes and still couldn't keep Dallas alive—the moment a quarterback decides he can air it out 43 times and live with 4 picks, that's not a shootout, that's surrender." Zoe Bell: "Dallas scored 51 and still lost by 11—that's not a shootout where one team got hot, that's a team that cannot execute when it matters, and Prescott's 4 interceptions didn't happen in a vacuum, they happened because Los Angeles was moving the ball at will while Dallas was scrambling to keep up."

The Chargers beat Dallas 62-51 in a shootout where Justin Herbert's arm and Los Angeles' pass-happy offense simply overwhelmed a Dallas secondary that couldn't match the pace. Herbert went 32 of 45 for 484 yards and 6 touchdowns while Oronde Gadsden caught 14 passes for 196 yards and 2 scores, and the Chargers rolled up 556 total yards to the Cowboys' 388. Dak Prescott threw 4 interceptions on 21 of 43 passing to go with 329 yards and 2 touchdowns, and Dallas' 4 giveaways to Los Angeles' 3 decided a game that never felt competitive once the Bolts got rolling.

80 points, and Bills had more of them, 45-35. Dak Prescott was steady for Cowboys — 31/42, 350 yards, 4 TD — in a losing effort. Josh Allen was steady for Bills — 18/26, 290 yards, 2 TD. On the ground: Bills 191, Cowboys 118.

Giants 42, Cowboys 21, and it was not that close. Jaxson Dart was steady for Giants — 11/17, 234 yards, 4 TD. Dak Prescott threw for Cowboys — 16/27, 257 yards, 3 TD, 3 INT — in a losing effort. On the ground: Giants 198, Cowboys 42.

Elise Carter: "Dallas didn't just lose—they fell apart. Dak threw 4 interceptions and the Cowboys managed 38 rushing yards and 4 turnovers total; that's not a bad game, that's a complete breakdown, and everyone in this league knows you don't keep your quarterback when he's doing that." Talia Morgan: "This wasn't a breakdown—it was a mismatch. Dallas threw 69% of the time against a Jacksonville team that ran 92 yards on the ground, and the Jags' defense made it pay with 1 sack and 4 forced turnovers. When one team plays out of character and the other plays exactly like itself, you get a 32-point game."

Jaguars 39, Cowboys 7, and it was not that close. Bhayshul Tuten ran it for Jaguars — 11 carries, 82 yards, 1 TD. Roman Wilson moved the ball for Jaguars — 3 catches, 64 yards, 1 TD. Roman Wilson is still searching for it — 45 receiving yards a game across his last three, against an average of 76. On the ground: Jaguars 92, Cowboys 38.

Cowboys took care of Eagles, 35-21. Dak Prescott did the damage for Cowboys — 15/26, 248 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT. CeeDee Lamb was the target for Cowboys — 8 catches, 118 yards, 1 TD. Three weeks of this now from CeeDee Lamb: 146 receiving yards a game, well clear of his 104 average. Through the air: Cowboys 248, Eagles 94.

Titans took the ball away and took the game with it, 28-14. Dak Prescott threw for Cowboys — 17/24, 313 yards, 2 TD, 4 INT — in a losing effort. Cam Ward was steady for Titans — 9/12, 222 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT. KaVontae Turpin has not had a better afternoon this season. On the ground: Titans 142, Cowboys 26.
