Even though it was a little harder this time, the Cowboys still won a game against a New York club by a lopsided margin.
The offence made just enough plays to keep points on the board, and the Cowboys were able to rely on an aggressive defence once more.
Here are several plays that may not be well-remembered but had a big impact on the result.
After winning the toss, the Cowboys made a dubious choice to receive the ball to begin the game.
To score a touchdown is the best method to counteract that. The Cowboys faced a third-and-6 from the Jets' 20-yard line, but Dak Prescott more than made up for it with a 15-yard scramble to the Jets' 5.
Jake Ferguson grabbed Dak Prescott's first touchdown pass of the year three plays later, giving the Cowboys a 7-0 lead.
Talk about establishing the mood for a contest. The Cowboys were aware that they needed to halt the run and reduce the Jets' variety.

The Jets never managed to develop their running game after that.
The Jets were attempting to capitalise on their momentum following a long touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson when Sauce Gardner blocked a Prescott sideline pass.
Gardner fumbled the pick that would have probably been returned for a winning score.

Instead, the Cowboys scored to take a 17-7 lead on the following play after successfully converting a third-down to KaVontae Turpin.
At the Jets' 38-yard line, Mike McCarthy had the option of being more cautious and punting the ball with his team leading 21-10.
However, if Aubrey had attempted a long range goal and missed, the Jets would have been in excellent field position at their own 45-yard line.
They would have required a spark like that to reenter the game. However, Aubrey's accurate kick gave the Cowboys a dominating 14-point lead in addition to giving him and the team greater confidence in him.
