They’re riding a five-game winning streak into their bye and have accomplished this with several missing starters and key roleplayers. At least a few of them are expected back after the off week, meaning this already-strong team should be even …

DAL 17, NYG 10: Cowboys Lead at Halftime, but Letting Giants Stay Close
