ARLINGTON (105.3 The Fan) - The Dallas Cowboys welcomed their NFC East rival New York Giants to AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon, Looking to move to 4-1 for the year, and move into control of the division.
Thanks to a dominant offensive attack, and stingy defense, Dallas was able to do just that, coasting to a 44-20 win in front of 93,000-plus in the crowd.
While things didn't get off to the smoothest start for the Cowboys, things quickly took off behind a big connection from quarterback Dak Prescott to wideout CeeDee Lamb, giving Dallas a 10-3 lead.
After a Giants answer, Dallas quickly got back on the board with a Prescott touchdown pass to Amari Cooper, putting Dallas up 17-10.
From there, the Cowboys would go on a 17-10 run to close out the game, dominating on both sides of the ball on their way to the win.
Unsurprisingly, it was Prescott who led the way for Dallas, completing 22 of 0 passes for 302 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception.
Ezekiel Elliott also had a day of his own on Sunday, rushing 21 times for 110 yards and a touchdown, while hauling in a touchdown pass as well.
Dallas would finish the day with 515 total yards of offense, including 201 on the ground.

On the other side of the ball, the Cowboys was not as dominant, but did just enough, giving up 367 total yards and forcing two turnovers, including yet another Trevon Diggs interception -- his sixth in five games.
Following the win, Dallas (4-1) now moves into the driver's seat in the NFC East, and into a tie for second place in the NFC standings.
The Cowboys will attempt to keep that momentum going next weekend when they head to Foxborough to take on Mac Jones and the New England Patriots.
