Dallas Cowboys-The Cowboys have won three straight games , all with the start of the Cooper Rush. But it’s the defense that’s also carrying the Cowboys through this stretch without Dak Prescott.

The Cowboys defeated the commanders for the first time, dominating the defense and winning 25–10. Here’s a quick analysis from the Cowboys’ staff writers after the game:

Nick Eatman: I can say that this game went more or less as expected. I thought it would be difficult at first, but this twist-but-not-break defense barely leans that far. And it’s not just Micah Parsons, but the rest of the pass-rushers coming home too.

The offense is doing its job and the special teams came forward for the most part, especially on Brett Maher’s field goals. The cowboys were clearly better than the commanders and it took four full quarters to prove it.

Patrick Walker: It was a win-win contest for the Cowboys, and while they didn’t make it easy for them at times, they were able to do exactly what they needed and intimidate Carson Wentz in a bad game, biased by a touchdown .

And with the competition very late in the game, the season is going 3-1.

Trayvon Diggs got his second interception in as many games and two crucial pass breakups as the defensive front remained in the face of Wentz without paying the rent.

And while Diggs was clamping down on another star receiver, Terry McLaurin, his offensive counterpart was delighted to see the return of Michael Gallup, immediately making his presence felt in the process.
