The Dallas Cowboys have completed a quarter of their 2019 campaign, finishing with a 3-1 record. Though many are disappointed with a road loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 4, most observers saw the team’s likely record at this point to be exactly where it sits.

They’ve defeated three teams not expected to be in the playoff hunt and lost a two-point road game against a team most predicted to be in the Super Bowl. The specifics of the game are important of course, but that about sizes up where expectations laid.

As for individual performances through the first four contests, there’s been a handful of surprise performances that have stacked the odds in Dallas’ favor. Even with the injury bug worming it’s way through the roster, the Cowboys have been relatively fortunate and have turned in some eye-catching performances.

Here’s our look at who takes home the prestigious awards for the up-to-the-minute performances in 2019.

Breakout Player of the Year: WR Michael Gallup Honorable Mention: RT La'el Collins © Aaron Doster-USA TODAY Sports

Gallup has missed two games, and we don't care. The passing game has come down to earth without him. 9 of his 13 catches (17.4 ypc avg) have been for first downs. Gallup was de facto WR1 during training camp while Cooper was hurt, and he hasn't stopped thinking that title is his. © Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports

Comeback Player of the Year: TE Jason Witten Honorable Mention: Travis Frederick © Tom Pennington/Getty Images

Witten is good for 3 or 4 catches a game and is averaging 10.3 ypc, the most since 2014. Coming out of retirement he's looked healthy and spry. © Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports

Position Coach of the Year: OL Coach Marc Colombo Honorable Mentions: QB Coach Jon Kitna, Secondary Coach Kris Richard © (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez

Colombo took over for Paul Alexander in mid-2018, but his influence has been felt across the line. La'el Collins is now a stud RT and the team ranks first in pass-block win rate across the NFL, at 66%. © Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

Coach of the Year: Kellen Moore © Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports

What Moore has done for the Dallas offense has been remarkable. Despite their 10-point effort in Week 4, the club is still sports the 3rd-best Offensive EPA in the league. Prescott is a league MVP candidate and Dallas has gone from woefully ancient to cutting edge in terms of their attack philosophies. © Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

Rookie of the Year: RB Tony Pollard Honorable Mention: DE Joe Jackson © Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports

Pollard has been incredible, despite his weird lack of touches in Week 4. Averaging 5 yards a catch, already has a 100-yd game on the ground. He's been limited in how he's used as a receiver, his best trait, but caught all 4 targets and drew a DPI. © Richard Rodriguez/Getty Images

Defensive Player of the Year: DE Robert Quinn Honorable Mention: DeMarcus Lawrence (2.5 sacks, 10 splash plays) © (AP Photo/Michael Owen Baker)

Who knew? Dallas acquired Quinn for a ham sandwich, and then got a rebate and he's been nothing but mind-boggling. 3 sacks in 2 games and he is clearly quicker around the edge than anyone who has played opposite Lawrence. Teams are going to have to start double-teaming him as frequently as Tank (tops among all NFL edge rushers) © Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

Offensive Player of the Year: WR Amari Cooper Honorable Mention: RB Ezekiel Elliott, RT La'el Collins © Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports

Cooper is dealing with plantar fascia in his foot. He now has an ankle injury and yet he's still killing it on the field for the Cowboys. © Tom Pennington/Getty Images

Team MVP: QB Dak Prescott © Tom Pennington/Getty Images

Prescott is 2nd in the league in ANY/PA (key metric correlated to winning), TD% and completion percentage. He's 3rd in passer rating, He's on pace to shatter his career highs in every category. © Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports
