NFL Week 9 grades: Cowboys get ugly mark for loss to Falcons; Ravens earn ‘A+’ for blowout win over Broncos

Welcome to the Week 9 grades!

Forget electing a new president, America needs to elect a new team. If the Dallas Cowboys are “America’s Team,” then America might want to think about picking a new team going forward. The Cowboys lost their third straight game on Sunday and it feels like their season is going nowhere. 

In the past 48 hours, they told their starting running back to stay home (Ezekiel Elliott) and they watched their starting QB go down with a hamstring injury. Also, the Cowboys defense has been nonexistent. The unit has given up 104 points during its three-game losing streak, which is the most the Cowboys defense has given up during a three-game losing streak since 2010. 

So how did the Cowboys grade out this week? 

Let’s get to the Week 9 grades, starting with Dallas and Atlanta. 

Atlanta 27-21 over Dallas
