Sporting News has the Cowboys as the 19th-best team in the league after having them ranked 23rd before the start of Week 5.

"The Cowboys' offense is trusting Dak Prescott and Javonte Williams with ideal play-calling from Brian Schottenheimer. Dallas' defense is playing inspired knowing much of the pressure to be dominant is off. They got a key win to move to .500, routing the Jets," writes Vinnie Iyer.
