ATLANTA — The Falcons and Cowboys are two of a handful of NFL teams this season that you can’t quite figure out, with both teams losing games they should win and vice versa. Coming into Sunday’s matchup, the Falcons were coming off an astounding loss in Cleveland while Dallas had inspired just enough hope against Philadelphia.
But the Cowboys may have finally made the turn. After Sunday’s 22–19 win against the Falcons, Dallas has, for the first time all season, won consecutive games and gone two straight without a turnover.
The win puts Dallas at 5–5 heading into Thanksgiving Day after 6-4 Washington in a contest that would give the Cowboys a share of the NFC East lead with a win.
