In what will more than likely be the most entertaining game of the Week 2 slate, the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> bested the New York Giants in overtime. <\/p>\n

A game that was a roller coaster of emotions, Cowboys’ kicking ace Brandon Aubrey<\/a> would ultimately boot the team to victory. <\/p>\n

While celebrating a win is never wrong, there are also some things the Cowboys will need to clean up<\/a> before next week as well. Here are the three biggest takeaways from the Cowboys’ win over the Giants.<\/p>\n

There’s no argument, the Cowboys have the best kicker in the league. Aubrey willed the team to overtime, then hit the game-winner. <\/p>\n

The Cowboys have the most dominant weapon in the entire league.<\/p>\n

Secondary Woes<\/strong>\"New<\/p>\n

The Cowboys may have won the game thanks to an interception by Donovan Wilson<\/a>, but the secondary was abysmal all game long. <\/p>\n

Giants quarterback threw for 450 yards, one week after the fanbase wanted him benched. The Cowboys’ secondary cannot continue to be this sloppy.<\/p>\n

Life In The Backfield<\/strong>\"Cowboys<\/p>\n

A lot of the talk coming into this game was about the Giants’ defensive line. While they were able to get to Dak Prescott <\/a>a few times, the unit allowed the Cowboys’ backfield to have a surprisingly strong game. <\/p>\n

Javonte Williams<\/a> was just three yards away from having 100 yards on the ground. The Cowboys’ starter and Miles Sanders <\/a>both found the endzone with rushing touchdowns. It appears this offense is firing on all cylinders. <\/p>\n
