Cowboys Command the NFC East, but There's Reason to Be Skeptical

On paper it was the Dallas Cowboys' most lopsided road win since 2017. But look a little closer at Monday night's 37-18 Dallas victory over the New York Giants, and it remains fair to be concerned about the Cowboys' championship prospects this season.

It's hard to trust the Cowboys, who trailed a 2-7 Giants team 12-3 before New York started beating itself late in the first half. A good team wouldn't have let Dallas back into that game, nor would a mediocre one. The Cowboys were lucky enough to be playing a terrible one, and now they're 5-3 despite the fact they've yet to beat a team with a winning record.
