Falcons .................... 27 Cowboys .................... 7

Adrian Clayborn made life miserable for Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott with one of the greatest pass-rushing performances in NFL history.

Clayborn set an Atlanta record with six sacks and forced two fumbles to lead the Falcons in a game that showed just how much the Cowboys missed star running back Ezekiel Elliott, who began serving a six-game suspension.

The Falcons’ Matt Ryan threw a pair of short touchdown passes and reached 40,000 passing yards in fewer games than any other quarterback in NFL history.
