That sound you heard throughout the ' clash with the was Thanos, a.k.a. Bill Belichick, desperately trying to gather Infinity Stones to finally snap his fingers and make flake away. Instead, Prescott became the football version of Iron Man -- snatching away the Gauntlet at the last po sible second before snapping his fingers and turning Inevitability against Itself in overtime at Gillette Stadium. Only Prescott didn't perish, instead leaving with a ma sive smile on his face, knowing what he and the Cowboys had just achieved: the first win over the Patriots since 1996.With their 35-29 victory over the Patriots on Sunday, the Cowboys are 5-1 on the season and enter the bye week with two weeks to rest, rehab and ready themselves for the on Oct. 31. Their fifth consecutive victory was a mixed bag of poor execution and exce sive penalties made to not matter by big plays from several cornerstone players and others making cases to become ones, e.g., defensive end . series for the Cowboys, there's a longer list of those who must improve after Week 6 than in the weeks prior, but also a list of those whose stock was already climbing before going to work

DAL QB #4 It wasn't a pretty start for Prescott against the Patriots, but the finish was a Van Gogh painting. But instead of cutting off his own ear to paint the masterpiece, he sacrificed a small bit of his right calf.The good news in Dallas is he and the Cowboys enter the bye week preparing to rest him for two weeks and currently see no reason he won't start against the Vikings in Week 8. That said, it's about appreciating how the two-time Pro Bowler continues to overcome adversity in whatever form it might come, and there was plenty of it to choke down at Gillette Stadium, from a second quarter that saw Prescott himself intercepted after a tip drill in the end zone, to a fumble on the goal line following a third-down quarterback sneak wherein he broke the plane but was instead ruled down (the second time that's

Dak to CeeDee for the WIN! (Via ) CBS Sports HQ (@CBSSportsHQ) DAL WR #88 No, Belichick didn't want any part of Lamb, on Sunday.The former first-round pick took cornerback out back and beat him like a dusty rug for much of the game, becoming Prescott's go-to weapon for Week 6 and delivering a blistering 149 receiving yards with two touchdowns. It was a career-best game for the record-setting wideout, who waved goodbye to a flustered Mills after reeling in the game-winning TD and then being pushed to the ground by

On 3rd & 25, Prescott to Lamb for 24-yds .. 4th & 1 26 29 Q4 Sports 24/7 (@B_R_R_D) DAL CB #7 Someone should call animal services, because there's a dog on the loose in Dallas.Diggs is something the Cowboys and league as a whole have literally never witne sed before. Having already set the record for most interceptions grabbed through the first five games of the season, he went to New England and kept his streak alive in harrowing fashion -- nabbing a pick-six on Mac Jones with only two minutes and 36 seconds remaining in regulation. That play gave the Cowboys a 26-21 lead and Diggs his seventh interception through six games along with his second pick-six of the year; his numbers equalling the likes of legendary coach Tom Landry, who was once an INT machine himself.Diggs is now just four INTs away from tying the single season franchise record in Dallas with Everson Walls and seven away from tying the single season record with Richard "Night Train" Lane. Neither is his focus, though, because he's looking to improve however he can, even if that means after Jones answered the pick-six with a 75-yard touchdown to put pre sure back on Prescott to finish it out, which he did. TREVON DIGGS | : Dallas Cowboys (@dallascowboys) DEN DE #5 You couldn't blame Mac Jones and the Patriots if they decided to call law enforcement after seeing Gregory hound Jones on Sunday -- sacking the rookie first-round pick twice and hurrying him on several other occasions.

It was e sentially the rookie's "welcome to the NFL" moment, courtesy of Gregory, who now has two multi-sack games in his last three outings while leading the Cowboys in pre sures despite having mi sed a game due to COVID-19 and playing without the complement of All-Star pa s rusher on the opposite edge.The 28-year-old leads the Cowboys in sacks as well and shows no signs of slowing down.

The veteran safety was thrust into a heightened snap count when starting safety went down with a groin injury early in the year, and he's now earned his way to the role of starter. Over the past several games, he's consistently found himself near the top of the Cowboys' ladder in tackles and is seemingly always in the right place at the right time to break up a play or keep a big gainer from happening.
Daniel Oturu Jersey Kearse tied with Diggs for most tackles against the Patriots (five) and also landed two quarterback hits on Jones, helping Gregory and the pa s rush. As Wilson works his way back from injury, having returned against the Patriots in a limited capacity, Kearse will continue to see a healthy snap count that will include some duties as linebacker in big nickel formations, especially if finds himself in a rough patch after recovering from COVID-19.
