The two top wide receivers in Sunday's primetime game, Dez Bryant and Odell Beckham saw some nasty hits in their time on the field.

Bryant was a little more affected however suffering a broken bone in his foot. Bryant initially looked like he suffered some type of arm contusion and came back on to the field with a sleeve. The loss of Dez Bryant did not hinder the Cowboys in winning the game. At the end of the day the Cowboys relied on the last triplet in Dallas Tony Romo. With Dez injured and DeMarco in Philadelphia this was an unprecedented event.

The Dallas offense came out with surprisingly conservative play calling and it was obvious from the get go the Giants would not allow the Cowboys star receiver to leave his mark on the game.

Dez is expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks however at this time the Cowboys are just lucky it was not anything to serious. Dez was seen in the tunnel congratulating his teammates emphatically without any assistance or medical equipment so the injury itself could be less severe than previously thought. The Cowboys face the Eagles in week 2 however the question whether or not the Dallas Cowboys can compete without Dez Bryant or DeMarco Murray was answered.
