It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win. A grinding Cowboys team came away with a narrow victory over the Chargers, which is what the NFL is all about.

It's been a bit of a rocky road lately for the Dallas Cowboys, but they've weathered two different storms to land at 4-2 going into their bye week, focused on how to improve.

Dak Prescott essentially willed the Cowboys' offense into big plays when the unit most needed it against the Chargers, and that included using his legs as a weapon for the first time in 2023.

A regular season is always filled with important games. But this one was a "must-win" if the Cowboys want to be one of the elite teams. 

It took going into his sixth game to make a sizable impact, but Brandin Cooks stood tall at the end of the night in a game the Cowboys needed him in.

As the Dallas Cowboys enter their bye week, they've now put both types of victories on film, going from blowing out three of their first five opponents to using a gritty three-point win over the Los Angeles to bounce back from their only blowout loss of the 2023 season.

CeeDee Lamb's name was called early and often as he provided the offensive spark needed to push the Cowboys to victory.

Plays that might get forgotten include a defensive penalty by the Chargers on third-and-long that led to the Cowboys' game-winning field goal.

The Cowboys officially add Leighton Vander Esch and C.J. Goodwin to the injured reserve along with moving two players to the active roster in their place.

Keenan Allen has provided a bulk of the offensive production so far in 2023 for the Chargers, but can Jourdan Lewis keep him in check?

The Cowboys have been a great bounce-back team in the last 10 games, but can they do it again? And not only do they need to regroup after last week's tough loss, but they're playing a Chargers team with a familiar face.

Make no mistake about it, the Dallas Cowboys need a bounce back game in a major way when they take the field to face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6.

Here we go … again. The Cowboys now enter Monday night's game against the Chargers with something to prove.

There was yet another lesson learned by the Dallas Cowboys in the blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but Dak Prescott is making it clear there's no time to pout about it.

After being visibly frustrated on the sideline during Dallas' 42-10 loss to San Francisco, CeeDee Lamb took this week to self-reflect and ask himself how he can help the offense produce.

Damone Clark will be asked to take on a greater workload with the loss of LVE, and the former All-American sounds ready to eat, especially after the loss to the 49ers.

Here are the 10 most notable 'big facts' to remember ahead of Monday's 7:15 CT kickoff on ESPN.
