IRVING, Texas – The handoff that Joseph Randle took over the line and into the end zone – after a brief fumble scare – was his seventh of the first half on Sunday against the Saints.
The touchdown gave Dallas a 10-7 lead in the first half, and it also incensed the Cowboys coaches, who were visibly upset with their top running back for a near-turnover in a crucial situation.
“A couple weeks in a row he has done that. We do not want him to do that in those situation, particularly expose the football,” said Cowboys coach Jason Garrett.
