They were a little better for about 57 minutes.
I wouldn't go that far. The Cowboys only held the lead in the game for about 3 minutes and that wasn't even until midway through the fourth quarter. The Pats clearly outplayed the Cowboys in the first half. Until the last drive of the Cowboys' offense in the first half (which was a 93 yard TD drive), they had 3 points, 2 turnovers, and 49 yards (a total of 142 yards for the half) against the Pats' offense having 13 points, one turnover and 175 yards. The Cowboys really had two extra set of downs in the first half too because they got the ball to start the game, the Pats turned over the ball on a kick return, and the Cowboys' offense had the ball last in the half other than two play run out the clock plays by the Pats. I would say the Pats were clearly better in the first half.
BTW, there is a reason the game is 60 minutes and not 57 minutes.
