Special Teams costs Dallas Cowboys the game vs. Patriots

The Dallas Cowboys played a tough contest in New England on Sunday, losing by the score of 13-9. The Cowboys as a whole did not play terrible, yes the offense was slow but that was due partly to the weather, and the defense played terrifically.

What cost the Cowboys of a huge win on Sunday was the terrible play of the special teams. Consistently throughout the game.

Lets recap:

  • Missed Field Goal
  • Blocked punt
  • Delay of game on the punting unit
  • Illegal shift on the punting unit
  • Miss handled kickoff
  • Miss handled kickoff
  • Miss handled kickoff

This completely falls on head coach Jason Garrett and special teams coordinator Keith O’Quinn.
