With a record of 5-3 at the midway point in the season, the Cowboys saw a three-game winning streak come to an end after a disappointing loss in Atlanta. They had no answer for the Falcons pass rush as Chaz Green struggled throughout the game. Green was eventually benched for Byron Bell who wasn’t any better. It was a hot mess and it lingered throughout the second half of the season as Tyron Smith couldn’t stay healthy.
The liability on the left side of the offensive line was detrimental to the Cowboys 2017 season.
