Cowboys' Dominant Victory Over Giants Raises Contender Status in NFC

The Dallas Cowboys showcased their dominant defense in a 40-0 victory over the New York Giants, with quarterback Dak Prescott praising the pass rush for making it easier for the offense. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was sacked seven times and pressured on nearly 63% of his throws. The Cowboys' defense, led by linebacker Micah Parsons, believes they are the best in the league. The Cowboys' offense focused on taking care of the ball while the defense and special teams took care of the rest. The weather conditions, including heavy rain, did not hinder the Cowboys' performance as they were prepared with wet-ball drills. The Cowboys' defense has been transformed under defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, leading the league in turnover differential in both 2021 and 2022. Prescott credited practicing against the Cowboys' defense for improving his decision-making and quickness on the field.
