The cowboys took the division game 108.94–91.46, and George Kittle was the reason — 23.2 points from the tight end position is the kind of performance that makes a win feel inevitable in hindsight. Riley had Derrick Henry going for 21.4, which should have been enough to make this a fight, but De'Von Achane's 1.7 points as a starter is the kind of start/sit crime that lingers in the shower the next morning. Both managers left roughly 13–14 points on the bench, so the gap was real, not just a product of lineup luck. Brandon's now 2–3 in the last five meetings, which means the cowboys have a pulse again in a series they've historically owned — and Riley's going to need a cleaner lineup card next time if he wants to flip it back.
