THE READ
Cowboys run away with it, 52-10

Dallas dismantled Miami 52-10 in a performance that exposed the gap between these teams: the Cowboys generated 513 total yards to Miami's 200, with Joe Milton completing 29 of 45 passes for 351 yards and 3 touchdowns while George Pickens hauled in 8 catches for 172 yards. Jaydon Blue rushed for 117 yards and 2 scores on 11 carries, giving Dallas a ground game that matched Miami's passing output. The Phins managed just 62 passing yards and turned the ball over twice against a Dallas team that had one giveaway, a turnover margin that tells you this wasn't competitive—the Cowboys' scoring efficiency was so much better than expected against their competition level that they're now tracking as a 79 percent win-rate team, while Miami, at 1-6, sits at 24 percent.

THE WIDER PICTURE
Team SRS SOS MARGIN TO +/-
Dolphins -16.5 -2.6 -13.9 -8
Cowboys +1.1 -4.8 +5.9 +4
SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH
Jaylen Rivers The insider
Dallas put 52 on the board because Miami had no answer for anything the Cowboys wanted to do — that's the game right there.
Marcus Reyes The numbers guy · replying
Miami's 23.8 pythagoras win expectancy says everything: they're not close to competent right now. Dallas just proved it doesn't matter—6-1 teams win games they have no business being in.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers — none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that did not happen.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
