It’s been a broken record all season, but the Dallas defense has again been awful in all areas. Instead of pulling away against a bad Washington roster, the Cowboys have allowed the Commanders to be very much in this one with a quarter to play. Just throw the Jacory Croskey-Merritt 72-yard touchdown run in the highlight package of huge plays given up by Dallas’ defense this season. One-play, 72 yards and Washington is right back in the game.
It would be laughable to keep everything the same on this defense and think the results would be much improved next season. Major changes are needed. The 2020 bunch was bad. This group might be worse.
