ARLINGTON, Texas – The Cowboys followed the points.
Quarterback Andy Dalton had succumbed to a catch, giving in fourth and 10 at Dallas’ 24-yard line with 12:54 for playing in the departmental game.
Hunter Niswander trotted fourth and tenth.
He didn’t want it.
Instead, cowboy coaches made a false clearing, a sweep shot reversed through receiver Cedrick Wilson. Washington made Dallas pay, putting him a metre off the punch line.
After that, he only took one game for Antonio Gibson of Washington to score his three-touchdown moment, extending the football team to a double-digit lead to which he would resign.
Washington’s 41-16 victory catapulted the football team to 4-7, which is smart for a part of a forward Philadelphia game at the most sensitive time of nfc east. It’s time for Washington’s victory over the Cowboys this season. The WFT beat Dallas 21-0, in the fourth quarter.
The Cowboys, 3-8, return to the apartment floor. Here are 3 other things we learned in the Thanksgiving game:
The landing of a Gibson game was just one of three failed attempts on Dallas’ fourth attempt. Washington scored after two ball losses in attempts gave them pitches of less than 25 yards in which to score. The questions began much earlier, when the Cowboys faced fourth and 1 at the time of the quarter and have moved away from Ezekiel Elliot for a pass to rookie catcher CeeDee Lamb. The pass was incomplete, with a final Dalton Schultz enclosed adding an insult to the injury with a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary rudeness. Washington changed the area from 19 yards to a landing. The Cowboys never regained their advantage.
Even when the Cowboys’ offense came out of the red zone, they couldn’t convert, they were content to score goals on each of the three trips, their only landing on a 54-yard pass from Andy Dalton to Washington receiver Amari Cooper, who burned Washington Corner Ronald Darby. The Cowboys have been emphasizing their desire for the ball for weeks and leaving the red zone with seven points Instead, landings in the red zone never materialized and delivered the ball twice, a pick-six from Dalton and The Dallas Offensive now has 10 consecutive games with a ball loss. Elliott, expected to be his first comeback, missed six times and lost five.
The Cowboys’ defensive line is strong, with Randy Gregory scoring his first catch in just two years and a moment after that. Defensive finisher DeMarcus Lawrence discovered the pressure forged. Dallas forced in the first three and outs. But until the end of the game, Gibson had been allowed 115 yards on the court and 3 touchdowns, while Washington had accumulated 338 total yards. In the team’s first game, Gibson had 128 yards on the court.
The disastrous performances of the offensive and special groups were too complicated for the Cowboys to overcome. Questions abound for McCarthy, who has won back-to-back games in 11 games in his first season in Dallas.
The Cowboys are scheduled to play Ravens week at Thursday Night Football.
