Nothing that happened last Sunday was beneficial for the Dallas Cowboys. A sound beating by a more invested Colts team has ushered in an avalanche of doubt.
Aside from a strong effort by Ezekiel Elliott, the offense was awful and couldn’t execute tying their own shoelaces. Basic shortcomings shown again by Dak Prescott continue to cause serious concern among the fan base.
The typically stingy defense couldn’t stop the run, pressure the pocket, or disrupt third down conversions (8 of 12 made). The performance was just plain ugly.
Still needing a win to secure the division title, Dallas now welcomes in a Tampa Bay team that provides a great opportunity to redeem their most recent failures.
