Cowboys find identity, use second half surge to overcome Falcons in conference opener

It truly was a tale of two halves in the Cowboys’ 99th homecoming game against the Air Force Falcons.

In the first half of this one, it looked like the Cowboys would be singing the same weary tune of the first four games of the season.

Bad throws, dropped passes, missed tackles, and bad snaps were waging in full force. The Falcon’s 13-7 lead at the half felt like much more than just a one possession game. The Cowboys only had a measly 83 yards of offense, compared to the Falcons’ 217. After establishing the run early with 44 yards in the first quarter, the Cowboys had somehow managed to lower that number to 37 by halftime.
