The Dallas Cowboys’ defense is bad. Maybe not to the point where Jerry Jones is saying publicly that he should have ponied up the money for Rex Ryan’s services. But you know it’s bad when the defensive struggles remain the story even after wins.
The combination of Daniel Jones and Malik Nabers often had the New York Giants’ offense in Cowboys territory Thursday night. Jones’s improvements and the rise of Nabers should have been the real story for this NFC East clash, but Brian Daboll didn’t get his signature victory because his team couldn’t produce touchdowns. Fortunately for Dallas, the combination of Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb was better, leading the Cowboys to a 20–15 victory.
