ARLINGTON, Texas – This was a game of two halves as the Cowboys came out hot in the first, but the Falcons were way too strong in the second and steamrolled Dallas for a 39-28 win.
On Saturday, the staff writers gave their gut feeling for Sunday’s game. Check out the instant reactions from the staff of DallasCowboys.com.
David Helman: I thought the defenses would factor a little more prominently in this one, considering I picked the Falcons to win, 20-17. But in the grand scheme of things, I think this one played out more or less with my expectations – the Cowboys had far too many personnel losses to overcome in a 39-28 loss.
