IRVING, Texas (AP) -Those ugly wins are starting to look a lot better to the Dallas Cowboys.

After seeing all three of their NFC East foes lose while they were enjoying their bye weekend, the Cowboys returned to work a little more proud of their 3-2 record.

Dallas squeaked past then-winless Kansas City in overtime in its last game. Those Chiefs beat Washington on Sunday. Also, Philadelphia was stunned by Oakland and New York was crushed by New Orleans in a battle of unbeatens.

Coach Wade Phillips said the results were a reminder of how hard it is to win in the NFL.

The Cowboys play Sunday at home against Atlanta. The Falcons are 4-1 and coming off a win over Chicago.
