With Dak Prescott out for the foreseeable future due to injury, the Dallas Cowboys will have to find other ways to contend for a playoff spot. .JoriEpstein gives five ways to do that.
The Cowboys' interior defense was solid, and far better than fans might remember it being in a historically bad 2020 year. But on the edges? Be it a pair of 17-yard carries for Leonard Fournette down the left sideline or a 48-yard deep completion to Julio Jones hugging the right sideline, the Cowboys knew their perimeter defense could stand to upgrade. Ceding 152 ground yards, including 127 to Fournette, who averaged 6.0 yards per carry on 21 attempts, was particularly concerning.
In pass coverage, Quinn lauded some of cornerback Trevon Diggs’ deep ball defenses, including an end-zone incompletion to Breshad Perriman with 34 seconds left in the second quarter and a deep ball Diggs teamed with safety Malik Hooker to defend down the left sideline with 12:38 to play in the third. Quinn lauded those plays as times his guys"stood up" to deep balls.
Against the Buccaneers, the Cowboys offense false-started a league-worst four times. The offense drew eight penalties alone, which Moore said severely hampered their rhythm and flow. The Cowboys’ ability to complete just three of 15 third-down attempts – and often miss short-to-intermediate conversions – was not unrelated.
