Refocused: Dallas Cowboys 19, New York Giants 3
BY PFF ANALYSIS TEAM • SEP 11, 2017

The Cowboys opened the scoring with two Dan Bailey field goals, but they would find the endzone late in the second half with a TE Jason Witten score thrown by QB Dak Prescott.
It would be a quiet second half, with the teams trading only field goals before the clock struck zero, and the Cowboys would prevail 19-6. With that, we give you our PFF exclusive takeaways from the contest for each team.
TOP 5 GRADES:
LB Sean Lee, 90.8 overall grade
CB Anthony Brown, 90.5 overall grade
G Zack Martin, 86.1 overall grade
RB Ezekiel Elliott, 82.4 overall grade
WR Terrance Williams, 81.7 overall grade
PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
RB EZEKIEL ELLIOTT, 82.4 OVERALL GRADE
Despite all the surrounding circumstances with Ezekiel Elliott, he was able to put that behind him and continue on from his rookie campaign, gaining 77 of his 104 yards after contact, and forcing 6 missed tackles in the run game.
QB DAK PRESCOTT, 74.4 OVERALL GRADE
Elliott may have had the better game, but Dak Prescott showed that his rookie year was also not a fluke season, as he showed the same patience to not force the ball into bad situations and the understanding that he could rely on a dominant run game . Prescott completed 19-23 passes under 10 yards for 189 yards
LB SEAN LEE, 90.8 OVERALL GRADE
Sean Lee has the well-earned reputation for flying around the field and always being near the ball, and that’s exactly what he did Sunday night. Lee was targeted 11 times in coverage, but the eight catches he allowed went for a combined 31 yards as he kept everything in front of him. In all, he had six defensive stops on the night, tied for the league-lead as of Sunday night.
CB ANTHONY BROWN, 90.5 OVERALL GRADE
After CB Orlando Scandrick left the game early in the first quarter, Anthony Brown stepped up in coverage. Brown was targeted four times on 39 snaps in coverage, allowing just one six yard catch to Sterling Shepard, and picking off Eli Manning on a slant.
