Play-calling is complex in the NFL. Teams put countless hours into game plans. Almost each play call has layers of strategy that the public wouldn’t know about.
But sometimes, it’s best to keep it simple.
For some reason, the Dallas Cowboys went away from Dak Prescott’s hot hand once he got them inside the red zone, trailing the Minnesota Vikings 28-24 in the final minutes Sunday. Prescott hit an 8-yard pass on first down to the Vikings’ 11-yard line. He had been remarkable on the entire drive.
Then Cowboys coach Jason Garrett and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore made two calls they’d like to have back in the 28-24 loss.
