There are two major storylines heading into the Cowboy’s next game, a road trip to face the Chargers in Los Angeles. First, there is the question of how this team will respond after getting demolished by the 49ers in a game they themselves billed as a measuring stick. Second, it marks the first game squaring off against former Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, as well as former quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier.
The more important of these two has to be the team’s response from that 49ers loss. It would be fair to say that this is the lowest this Cowboys team has felt under Mike McCarthy since Week 5 of 2020 when Dak Prescott was lost for the year.
