The Cowboys made a move during the bye week by trading for Michael Bennett. Best described as a disruptive force in every aspect, Bennett showed his worth in his first game for Dallas by wreaking havoc on the Giants all night.
Bennett’s most noticeable contribution was as a pass rusher, finishing with a sack and four hits on rookie quarterback Daniel Jones, but he also routinely broke through the line of scrimmage on run plays forcing Saquon Barkley to redirect his path. He even brought down the insanely-talented rusher in the backfield on this play:
All told, Bennett and the rest of this defense held Barkley to 28 rushing yards on 14 carries, and the Giants as a whole were limited to 100 total rushing yards.
