Garrett Explains Late-Game Clock Management On TD Drive vs. Redskins

IRVING, Texas – Although it ultimately didn’t cost them a critical road win against the Redskins on Monday night, Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett explained questions about the team’s clock management on their lone touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter.

First, the situation:

  • 1:26 remaining
  • 1st-and-10 at the Redskins’ 15-yard line
  • The game tied 9-9
  • Washington with two timeouts

Now, the question:

Should the Cowboys have attempted to run down the clock as much as possible and settle for a potential game-winning field goal instead of the quick touchdown?
