Despite top scorer Lamb, Dallas Cowboys fall to Miami Dolphins, 228.4-209.3

CeeDee Lamb had 46 points for Dallas Cowboys, the best total in the matchup and second-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to vanquish Miami Dolphins, who earned a 228.4-209.3 victory. Dallas Cowboys grabbed a 6.9-point lead on Thursday, but Miami Dolphins held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Tua Tagovailoa (285 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Saquon Barkley (152 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD). CeeDee Lamb (11 Rec, 150 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Tony Pollard (115 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 13 Rec Yds) carried the flag for Dallas Cowboys in the loss. This marks the second time this season Miami Dolphins have taken down Dallas Cowboys, after winning 215.8-179.6 in their last matchup. Miami Dolphins (6-4) will look to add to their success against Los Angeles Chargers, while Dallas Cowboys (3-7) will attempt to get back in the win column against Indianapolis Colts.
