Going up against the Cleveland Browns, many expected the Dallas Cowboys to handle this game with ease, and that is exactly what they did. While the Browns had an early 3-0 lead, the Cowboys defense was stifling, and their offense was too explosive for an inexperienced Browns team to handle.
After the Browns drove down the field on the opening drive to go up three points, the Cowboys responded with a 10-play, 75-yard drive that was capped off by a 26-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jason Witten.
A few drives later, the Browns drove down the field, only for a Cody Parkey 41-yard field goal to bounce off the upright. The Cowboys responded with a nine-play, 69-yard drive that finished with running back Ezekiel Elliott getting into the end zone on a 10-yard carry. It was then that the Cowboys took control of the game and put it away.
On the Cowboys' following possession, quarterback Dak Prescott captained a nine-play, 67-yard drive. The push downfield ended with Prescott reading the aggressive defense and finding wide receiver Cole Beasley in the corner of the end zone. And while the Browns put up seven points on the final drive of the second quarter, the Cowboys got the ball back after the half to shut down any momentum the Browns may have had.
In the second half, the Cowboys put two touchdown drives together, one of which went for 75 yards on seven plays, with the other going 64 yards on nine plays. Elliott scored for the second time on the first second-half score, and tight end Gavin Escobar scored on the second touchdown drive of the half. Escobar's touchdown reception was also his first catch of the season.
