Where Bennett excelled, Fiammetta looked like he was off his game on Saturday. Kudos to doing a job that goes unnoticed." Here's what PFF had to say: " You don’t often see tight ends do as much quality blocking in one game but Bennett, who dominated Bowers at the line of scrimmage and Foster at the second level, had one of the best blocking performances of any tight end all year.

Martellus Bennett (36 of 73 snaps, +5.8 ).Here's how the players in the running game graded out: To get the kind of ground game working that the Cowboys ran in the second half, you need good runners who can get the tough yards, and you also need good blocking. On seventeen 1st-and10 plays, the Cowboys passed twelve times and only ran five times. It was the other way around in the first half.

They ran the ball ten times and passed only twice. Another telling stat for the second half strategy: the Cowboys had twelve 1st-and-10 situations in the second half. The Cowboys used the run game to run time off the clock and get one first down after another.
