The Dallas Cowboys were sloppy at times, but they got the job done in a 31-21 win over the New York Giants. This win improved the Cowboys' record to 6-1 as the Giants fell to 3-4 on the season.

Dez Bryant and DeMarco Murray dominated this game late for Dallas. Bryant consistently made huge third-down receptions as Murray made the most out of every time he got the ball.

The Cowboys pounded the ball throughout the game on 35 carries for 156 yards and a touchdown. They did this despite the offensive line not getting as much push as many are accustomed to seeing.

The defense did a great job getting off the ball on third down as the Giants went 5-13 on third-down conversions. This defense bends but does not break as teams drive down the field.

The defensive line did a poor job of getting pressure on Eli Manning, but it was very stout against the Giants running game. The Cowboys sorely need some edge-rushers who can get constant pressure on the quarterback.

The secondary was competitive throughout the game and for the most part was able to stay with the Giants receivers and tight ends.

Now, the Cowboys look forward to a game against another division rival, the Washington Commanders.

Let’s take a look at how each position graded out in this Week 7 matchup.
