Dallas gets it done in Houston, beating the Texans 34-30 — and Jerry has plenty to say about it.

Was Brandon Aubrey’s rough stretch a real problem, or are we overreacting? Are we moving the goalposts on this Cowboys team? And is Dak Prescott officially a Top 3 QB in the league?

Plus:

⭐ Spann Ford needs more snaps ⭐ What’s next for Jake Ferguson? ⭐ The Cowboys defense continues to make strides ⭐ Joey Porter Jr. did exactly what Dallas needed him to do ⭐ Was the Ravens game actually the turning point?

The Cowboys are winning games, the defense is improving, and the expectations are changing.

Are the Cowboys for real?
