The Dallas Cowboys are for real. If their 4-1 start didn't convince you, their 30-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks did. The Cowboys dominated in two of the three facets of the game against the defending Super Bowl champions.
The Cowboys had 406 total yards on offense, while the Seahawks had only 206 total yards. The story of the game was the efficiency of the Cowboys offense and the stoutness of their defense. The defense did a great job of getting off the field on third down as the Seahawks went 5-of-13 on third-down conversions.
The Cowboys' offensive line did a great job of controlling the line of scrimmage against the vaunted Seahawks defense. It has proven that it is one of the top two offensive lines in the NFL.
On defense, the secondary was incredible throughout the game. It totally shut down Percy Harvin and the rest of the Seahawks weapons.
The defensive line also did a great job of containing Russell Wilson in the pocket, which eliminated a great deal of the Seahawks' big-play opportunities.
For how great the Cowboys offense and defense was, the special teams, outside of Dan Bailey, was just as bad. They had a punt blocked, which was returned for a fumble, and a muffed punt by Dwayne Harris that led to points for Seattle.
If the special teams had played better, the Cowboys would have won going away.
Now, the Cowboys look forward to a game against their division rival, the New York Giants.
Let’s take a look at how each position graded out in this Week 6 matchup.
