4. Dallas Cowboys (3-0)

Dallas fans had to sweat this one out against the Dolphins in Week 3. Miami had Dallas in a dogfight during the first half, and Jason Garrett’s team was staked to a 10-6 lead after two quarters. But then, the Dolphins became the Dolphins again and the Cowboys pulled away.

In the second half, the Cowboys scored three unanswered touchdowns to finish the game off, with Dak Prescott throwing a pair of touchdown passes and Tony Pollard icing the victory with a 16-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

Despite the score, this wasn’t exactly a pretty win and the Cowboys had to work a lot harder than most would have expected from one of the better teams in the conference against one of the NFL’s worst. Regardless, the Cowboys are now 3-0 and are separating themselves from a division that is seeing the other teams struggle.

The Cowboys will catch a break in Week 4 with the Saints, who are very talented all-around but don’t have their Hall of Fame quarterback, Drew Brees.
