The Cowboys entered their game today against the New York Giants in Dallas – which was slated to begin at 4:25 p.m. – with a 5-1 record. They opened their season with a 28-17 home loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but have since reeled off five straight wins, taking down the Titans (26-10), St. Louis Rams (34-31), New Orleans Saints (38-17), Houston Texans (20-17) and Seattle Seahawks (30-23).

In that victory against the Seahawks – the defending Super Bowl champions – the Cowboys used a 15-yard touchdown from the league's rushing leader, DeMarco Murray, to pull away with 3:16 left in the game, becoming the first team outside of the NFC West to win a game in Seattle since 2011.

Quarterback Tony Romo turned in an efficient outing against the Seahawks, completing 21-of-32 passes for 250 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Murray, meanwhile, continued his strong 2014 campaign, running 29 times for 115 yards and the aforementioned touchdown.

Defensively, defensive end George Selvie had five tackles and a sack for the Cowboys, while middle linebacker Rolando McCain picked off Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. Dallas kicker Dan Bailey also converted all three of his field-goal attempts in the game, including a long of 12.

Through six games, the Cowboys rank fourth in the league in total offense (398.7 yards per game) and 15th in the league in total defense (342.5 yards allowed per game).
