The Atlanta Falcons secured a 27-21 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, maintaining their lead in the NFC South with a record of 6-3. Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins had an impressive performance, completing 19 of 24 passes for 222 yards and three touchdowns, despite losing leading receiver Drake London to injury. The Cowboys, now on a three-game losing streak, struggled offensively, especially after quarterback Dak Prescott left the game with a hamstring injury. Cooper Rush attempted to rally the team, but Dallas fell short, hindered by penalties and a lackluster offensive performance. The Cowboys' defense, missing key players like Micah Parsons, couldn't contain the Falcons' attack, allowing three sacks. This loss increases pressure on Cowboys' coach Mike McCarthy as the team continues to falter mid-season.
