Good Luck, Boys<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">If you weren\u2019t pulling your hair out watching the Cowboys\u2019 offense tonight, I salute you, because that was as frustrating a performance as we have seen all season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">They did punt on the next drive, but after that, they again scored 7, this time with Malik Davis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">After their second touchdown on their third drive, the Dallas offense kicked six field goals, making four and missing two, and turning it over on downs once.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">In short, that just won\u2019t get it down. Despite strong performances from Dak Prescott, Williams, and CeeDee Lamb, Brian Schottenheimer\u2019s play-calling woes and an invisible game from George Pickens did the offense in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Offensive Issues: No Touchdowns?
