The Dallas Cowboys surprisingly appeared to be in midseason form in their season opener against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon. They completely dominated all three phases of the game against what is expected to be a very good team on their home turf and ultimately walked away with a 33-17 victory.

This impressive win on foreign soil answers a lot of concerns we may have had about this year’s team, but only time will tell if they can continue to play with this kind of dominance while continuing to improve as a whole. However, as with every game, there was some good, some bad and a little bit of ugly. Today, we take a look at them all.

THE GOOD – Dak Prescott

The ink on his new four-year, $240 million contract probably wasn’t even dry when he took the field against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1, but Dak Prescott took the field Sunday afternoon and showed why he’s now the highest-paid player in NFL history. His passing stats won’t blow you away (179 passing yards, 1 TD), but he was decisive and accurate on most of his throws against one of the better defenses in the entire league. His command of the offense this early in the season will hopefully only continue to improve as the season progresses.

THE BAD – Jake Ferguson’s injury

Jake Ferguson is coming off a Pro Bowl season with the Cowboys and was expected to be an integral part of their offense again this year. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury against the Cleveland Browns in the game. The severity of his injury is unknown, as is the amount of playing time he could miss, but if he does miss any time, it will be a significant blow to the offense. There is no one else on the roster who is even close to his level as a blocker or receiver.

THE UGLY – The Browns offense vs. the Cowboys defense

The Cleveland Browns may have been without their starting tackles Jack Conklin and Jedrick Wills Jr. in the season opener, but even if they had been available, it might not have saved them from being completely dominated by the Cowboys defense. Dallas’ defense finished the night with 26 QB pressures, six QB sacks, and two interceptions. They gave up a total of 17 points, but there’s no denying that they made Cleveland look absolutely ugly. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come under Mike Zimmer’s new defensive scheme.
