In Week 3, they left a lot of plays on the field and ended up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/cowboys\/onsi\/biggest-takeaways-cowboys-week-3-loss-ravens-rio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">losing on a last-second field goal <\/a>to the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9y\">They seemed to have learned from their mistakes as they made the necessary plays this Sunday, ultimately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/cowboys\/onsi\/cowboys-report-card-in-34-30-win-over-texans-dallas-still-not-good-enough-despite-victory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">defeating the Houston Texans 34-30<\/a>, thanks in large part to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/cowboys\/onsi\/6-winners-2-losers-from-cowboys-thrilling-week-4-win-vs-texans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">game-winning touchdown from CeeDee Lamb<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a3\">Lamb was absolutely unstoppable in this one, hauling in 17 receptions for 189 yards. It didn\u2019t matter who was covering him, he continued to find openings and made life easy for Dak Prescott.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a8\">Unsurprisingly, Lamb finished the game as the Cowboys\u2019 highest-rated player, according to PFF. Even the staunchest critics of the analytical website can\u2019t argue that he deserves that top billing. The rest of the top five is hard to dispute as well, so let\u2019s dive in and see who joined Lamb as a top player for the Cowboys in Week 4.<\/p>\n<p>Highest-graded Cowboys in Week 4<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/01m46w443htsk75q348r.jpg\" alt=\"Dallas Cowboys DT Quinnen Williams reacts after a defensive play against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium.\" title=\"Dallas Cowboys DT Quinnen Williams reacts after a defensive play against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium.\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"ap\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Dallas Cowboys DT Quinnen Williams reacts after a defensive play against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium. | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect<\/p>\n<p>CeeDee Lamb, WR &#8211; 92.4Quinnen Williams, DT &#8211; 85.7Rashan Gary, OLB &#8211; 79.0Tyler Booker, G &#8211; 78.5Dak Prescott, QB &#8211; 73.3<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b0\">Lamb was the only player to top a 90, <a href=\"https:\/\/premium.pff.com\/nfl\/games\/2026\/4\/dallas-cowboys\/offense\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">coming in at 92.4<\/a>. Behind him in second place is Quinnen Williams, the massive defensive tackle who had his best game of the season.
