NFL.com: 7th (LW: 7th)

No change despite another divisional win from the Cowboys.

ESPN’s Monday Night Football crew presupposed that the black cat that ran on the field at MetLife Stadium was a sign of bad luck for the Cowboys. In truth, the feline’s impromptu arrival coincided with Dallas waking up from a slow start. The Cowboys scored 10 points in the final minute of the first half, then turned it on against an overmatched Giants defense en route to a 37-18 win. It was another big day for the Big Three: Ezekiel Elliott ran for 139 yards, Dak Prescott threw for 257 yards and three scores, and Amari Cooper broke the game open with a 45-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. On defense, Sean Lee delivered a turn-back-the-clock performance with a game-high 12 tackles in place of injured star Leighton Vander Esch. The NFC is a loaded conference, but the Cowboys look like a team ready to make a run.

ESPN: 11th (LW: 12th)

Moving on up.

The Cowboys simply can’t take the ball away enough, even factoring in the three turnovers they caused Monday night against the Giants. The only team with fewer interceptions and a winning record is New Orleans, but there can only be one exception to a rule. This isn’t simply a 2019 problem. It’s been an issue for years. Because of the lack of takeaways, the offense has to drive the length of the field far too many times. It rarely gets easy points. New England leads the NFL with 19 interceptions. After Monday’s game against the Giants, the Cowboys have only 23 interceptions in their past 36 games. -- Todd Archer

Bleacher Report: 14th (LW: 14th)

No change here either.

From a quick glance at the score, one would think the Dallas Cowboys dominated the New York Giants on Monday night. And in some respects, they did. The defense forced three turnovers, notched five sacks and returned a fumble for a score.

But while the Dallas offense amassed 429 yards of offense, Dak Prescott threw a pair of 40-plus-yard touchdowns and Ezekiel Elliott topped 100 rushing yards, it was a game in which the Cowboys started sluggishly on offense, made far too many unforced mistakes and led by just a point at the half.

That a black cat ran on the field at MetLife Stadium in the second quarter was fitting. It was a contest with a weird vibe.

Yahoo Sports: 10th (LW: 11th)

We’re bringing Yahoo into the mix. They’ve got the Cowboys as a top 10 team.

It gets pretty tough for the Cowboys over the next seven weeks. That’s why they needed that win over the Giants. It was in doubt for a while, but Dallas ended up handling business.

CBS Sports: 7th (LW: 9th)

Tied for the highest on the Cowboys.

It wasn’t always pretty against the Giants, but the offense came alive. That’s two games in a row heading into a big one against the Vikings defense.
