The Buffalo Bills arrived on the national stage and throttled the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Now 9-3, the AFC East club deserves a little more respect in the power rankings.
After the Cowboys' first scoring drive, the offense went flat, following up with two drives that ended with punts and a pair of possessions that resulted in turnovers before a missed field goal with time expiring in the first half.
Perhaps the sum of the Cowboys' talented parts doesn't measure up to what they look like on paper.
Quarterback Dak Prescott leads the league in passing yards (3,788), three-time Pro Bowler Amari Cooper has put together some big games and Ezekiel Elliott is one of the best running backs in the league behind a solid offensive line, but all this amounts to a 6-6 record.
