The Dallas Cowboys shot to first in the NFC East with an impressive win over the Giants, capped by Brandon Carr’s 49-yard interception return for the sixth turnover of the game. With the scoring-happy NFL, turnovers become even more important as the only way to stop the opponent. The Monday night game will answer a lot of questions regarding if Michael Vick can prosper again in the fast-paced Oregon Ducks offense, and if RG3 looks like he is all the way back. The Week 1 Ratings, without the benefit of the Eagles at Redskins game Monday, are below:
