Dallas Cowboys thrashed New England Patriots 38-3 with a dominating display and ruthlessness. They are heading to the game with a heartwrenching loss against the Arizona Cardinals.
Each player in each position played an important role in the triumph, but the major part of it was secured by a confident showcasing of the defense line.
The attacking line was efficient, with the Cowboys utilizing their squad depth to see through the result.
It started far from beautiful or efficient as Dak Prescott and Tony Pullard collided during a run attempt. Lack of Clinicality saw Michael Gallup’s and Jalen Tolbert’s receptions go down in vain.
The defense was shaky in the initial period of the match, with clumsiness allowing the Patriots to get a field goal.
However, things seemed to be better for the Cowboys. Jalen Tolbert slotted it home, and Brandin Cooks scored a touchdown in the next play.
Dallas Cowboys’ Immense Display of Redemption
Dak Prescott was the pick of the lot as he collected a staggering 122 yards of the entirety of 145 yards.
Ezekiel Elliott, with just 1:30 minutes left before the break, stepped onto the field against his former team and heroically scored for his current team.
The match was an epic showdown of a rollercoaster ride. Jalen Tolbert made a brilliant tackle in the middle of the field, forcing the Patriots to hold back in their own half, not just once but twice.
Dante Fowler then forced an error from Mac Jones, stealing the ball and sending it to Leighton Esch, who grabbed the opportunity by the neck and scored a vital touchdown.
KaVontae Turpin returned to the squad and made his presence felt, contributing to an impressive 46-yard gain.
Cowboys secured a fake extra point as Bryan Anger passed the ball to Chauncey Golston for a touchdown.
Peyton Hendershot was replaced by Sean McKeon, who contributed well to the team, doing the dirty work of ball retention despite a shaky start.
After securing a new set of downs, Hunter Luepke carried the ball, reaching the five-yard line of the Patriots and scoring a touchdown, followed by a few other clever runs by Turpin and Vaughn.
The main issue that the Cowboys faced against the Cardinals was the lack of deep throws. This match saw the Cowboys trying to right the wrongs, with Prescott sending a 21-yard throw to Ferguson. At the point when the Cowboys stood at 21-3 against the Patriots, they put their foot off the throttle, focusing entirely on catching hold of the game.
During the match, the statboard also displayed the efficiency of the Dallas Cowboys in takeaways and scoring from the defensive line since signing Quinn.
The second half saw the Cowboys just aiming to cool down the efforts of the Patriots and deprive them of a much-wanted comeback. However, the defensive line was still shaky even after such a huge lead at that point, 28-3. It only goes to show how much work needs to be done on the defensive choirs.
Dallas came back strong from the previous loss, but some questions are still up in the air, especially regarding the fluidity of their attack. We shall see what the next match has in line for the Cowboys.
