The Dallas Cowboys absolutely dominated the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday and reminded folks that they’re no doubt Super Bowl players this season.
Remember when everyone was panicking last week after the Dallas Cowboys were rocked by the Denver Broncos? Well, Jerry Jones’ team has stormed back with an absolute bang, as they just kicked the tires off the Atlanta Falcons.
Dallas really did put on a show in this one, as Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb powered the offense to a big-time 43-3 win over Atlanta. A message was sent here by Prescott and Dallas: you’re not going to want to face them in the postseason.

Prescott certainly deserves plenty of praise for his play on Sunday. After he struggled last week against Denver, the stud QB really looked sharp vs. the Falcons, throwing for 296 yards and two touchdowns. Those two touchdowns went to Lamb.
Last week, Lamb had an off week, as he hauled in only two catches for 23 yards. Against the Falcons, though, the speedster caught six balls for 94 yards and his two scores. His second touchdown of the day came on an incredible looping throw from Prescott.
Defensively, Dallas gave Matt Ryan nightmares all game long, as the veteran signal-caller finished with no touchdowns and two interceptions. This was the kind of game that really gets Dallas back on track, as they’re getting closer and closer to locking in the NFC East title.
Once the playoffs do roll around, this team has proven they’ll be ready to make plenty of noise. With the NFC so wide open this year, Dallas really could be a team to watch out in terms of competing for a Super Bowl. Fans are going to want to keep a close eye on them.
