Mike Zimmer made a successful return as the Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator during their 33-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns, marking his first game on the sidelines in nearly three years. The Cowboys' defense excelled, allowing only 230 yards and achieving six sacks against Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who struggled throughout the game. Dallas dominated in third-down conversions, limiting Cleveland to just two successful attempts out of 15, while also winning the turnover battle. Star players like Micah Parsons and newcomer Eric Kendricks made significant contributions, with Kendricks recording two sacks and an interception. Despite the impressive performance, there are still areas for improvement as the Cowboys prepare for their next game against the New Orleans Saints. Overall, the game showcased Dallas' defensive capabilities and raised expectations for the season ahead.
