Five plays that shaped the Cowboys’ dominating win over the Falcons

What a difference a week makes. After the Broncos humbled the Cowboys last week, Mike McCarthy’s team responded in the best way possible. Not only did Dak Prescott look noticeably sharper, but the rest of the team played like the dominant Cowboys we’ve seen all year.

The result was a monstrous victory that was over by halftime. The Falcons even pulled several of their starters by the end of the third quarter, a stunning white-flag waving by NFL standards. Everything came easy in the Cowboys’ 43-3 win, but these five plays helped put the game away early.
