FRISCO, Texas -- At this point in the season, the only thing stopping the Cowboys in the red zone is themselves.
That’s one of the oldest clichés in sports, but it was actually true last weekend in San Francisco. After ripping off four-straight touchdowns inside the 20-yard line against the 49ers, the Cowboys missed on their final two opportunities of the game.
The reasons? They passed up a 32-yard field goal with 2:57 to play, opting to give Cooper Rush some additional work. Moments later, they kneeled out the clock from the San Francisco 12-yard line.
