The Dallas Cowboys proceed to play Jekyll and Hyde this season, and sadly got here out on the shedding finish of the Week 8 matchup with the Denver Broncos. The Broncos just about dominated the Cowboys from the beginning in all three phases of the sport, resulting in the 44-24 victory.
Total, it is a fairly poor efficiency from the Cowboys. It was largely unhealthy and ugly for almost all of the sport. There was perhaps slightly good sprinkled in, however you actually must dig deep to see it. Beneath is what we consider to be the great, the unhealthy, and the ugly from this Week 8 matchup with the Broncos.
THE GOOD – Javonte Williams
Any participant attending to face off towards their former group/teammates all the time desires to placed on a superb present and Javonte Williams might be no exception. In the event you’re going by his stat line alone he didn’t have an excellent outing, speeding for simply 41 yards on 13 makes an attempt. Nevertheless, he was liable for two of the Cowboys three touchdowns and ran with authority when given the chance. Sadly, the Cowboys had been enjoying behind many of the recreation, inflicting them to attempt to play catch-up by passing the ball extra as an alternative of sticking to the operating recreation.
THE BAD – Self-inflicted wounds
It will be simple to level to the protection and the way poorly they performed, however that was to be slightly anticipated contemplating they had been so shorthanded within the secondary. What was worse was the self-inflicted wounds and boneheaded errors the Cowboys made on this Week 8 matchup towards the Broncos. Lining up within the impartial zone, false begins, and unlawful formations had been only a few of the penalties that ended up serving to sway the sport within the Broncos favor. This has been an issue for them prior to now and sadly appears to be so nonetheless.
Till this Week 8 matchup with the Broncos, Dak Prescott was acting at an MVP stage. Sadly, arguably among the best defenses within the league, if not the most effective, triggered him to crush again right down to earth. Prescott solely accomplished 19 of 31 passes for 188 yards and 0 touchdowns. To make issues worse, he additionally threw two interceptions, one thing he was doing a reasonably good job of avoiding this season. This is only one recreation the place he floundered a bit, and there’s no cause to consider he can’t bounce again with the weapons he has.
