The Offensive Issues: No Touchdowns? Good Luck, Boys
If you weren’t pulling your hair out watching the Cowboys’ offense tonight, I salute you, because that was as frustrating a performance as we have seen all season.
To start, the unit looked good. They capitalized on a second-play Quinnen Williams interception with a touchdown drive after a Brandon Aubrey fake field goal, and a relentless effort from Javonte Williams to get in the end zone.
They did punt on the next drive, but after that, they again scored 7, this time with Malik Davis.
At that point, it felt like the offense was good for at least a couple more touchdowns. That assumption could not have been more wrong.
After their second touchdown on their third drive, the Dallas offense kicked six field goalsmaking four and missing two, and turning it over on downs once.
In short, that just won’t get it down. Despite strong performances from Dak Prescott, Williams, and CeeDee Lamb, Brian Schottenheimer’s play-calling woes and an invisible game from George Pickens did the offense in.
