00:02 New York, New York, the Cowboys liked it so nice, they did it twice.
00:08 Mike Fisher reporting from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas,
00:12 where the Cowboys, predictably against an awful Giants team,
00:17 quarterbacked by a third string rookie UDFA.
00:21 Kid from New Jersey who lives with his mom and dad, Tommy DeVito, hey.
00:27 And it wasn't his fault, there was nothing the Giants were gonna be able to do
00:32 on this day.
00:33 And not unlike when the Cowboys played them in week one,
00:37 when they were closer to full strength.
00:40 That one was 40 to nothing Cowboys, this one was 49 to 17 Cowboys.
00:45 And Dallas in so many ways on offense could have named its score as
00:50 Dallas moves to six and three on the season.
00:52 And now continues into a soft portion of the schedule, relatively speaking.
00:59 Dallas moved the ball at will against the hapless Giants defense.
01:05 Video game like numbers here, 640 yards on the day, 49 points.
01:09 Most they've scored in a game this season.
01:12 Dad Prescott, one of the best games of his career by the stats.
01:15 26 of 35, 404 yards, four touchdowns, and then ran for a touchdown as well.
01:20 Brandon Cooks, nine catches, 173 yards and a touchdown.
01:23 CeeDee Lamb, who we'll get to in a minute, 11 receptions, 151 yards and
01:27 a touchdown.
01:28 Michael Gallup cut a touchdown pass to get in the business.
01:33 In addition to the front line guys, Rico Dowdle, the backup running back,
01:38 he was involved, and on and on and on.
01:40 Prescott's day, he took a seat with his four touchdown passes and his 404 yards.
01:46 This marks the fourth time he's hit that double-double.
01:49 That's a Dallas franchise record.
01:51 And to go four touchdowns and 400 yards, that's happened eight times,
01:58 nine times, he's tied for eighth all time in NFL history.
02:02 CeeDee Lamb, NFL history, the first player in the Super Bowl era in the NFL
02:07 to record ten or more catches and 150 or
02:13 more yards in three straight games, numbers, video game numbers.
02:18 And why stop on offense?
02:20 Daron Bland, the cornerback, got his fifth interception of the season.
02:23 He now has ten interceptions since the start of 2022.
02:27 Remember, he's the guy that moved from the slot to take over for
02:31 the injured for the year, Trayvon Diggs.
02:33 And he's doing Diggs-like things in terms of being a ball hawk.
02:37 Defensive side of the ball, this was overwhelming for Dallas.
02:40 Obviously, the Cowboys in the locker room right now, defensive guys are bemoaning,
02:44 why did we give up 17 points?
02:46 But in the end, they dominated in almost every possible way.
02:51 Saquon Barkley had 66 meaningless rushing yards on 13 carries.
02:56 The Cowboys now travel to face the one and eight Carolina Panthers.
03:01 And maybe they've learned a lesson about taking anybody for granted.
03:05 They lost a game at Arizona earlier this year, and they now admit,
03:09 maybe we kinda, not today, not tonight, not in week ten.
03:14 The Cowboys move up and up and up the ladder in terms of NFC teams
03:21 that look like contenders, and they move to New York, New York against New York,
03:25 New York with another blowout win of the Giants, this one, 49 to 17.
03:30 With the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, Fish out.
