Week 10 vs. MIN

Date published: Nov. 12, 2019

To date, best passing performance of Dak’s career:

• 28/46, 397 yards, 3 TD

Randall Cobb game:

• 6 catches, 106 yards, 1 TD

Trailing 28-24, in the MIN red zone with 2 minutes remaining.

• Hit Cooper for 8 yard gain on first down, then gain no yards + go backwards for next three. DAL doesn’t score, game over.

DAL offense: 9-15 third down conv, 1-3 RZ conv (including one at the end of the game)

Zeke was stuffed all evening:

10rushes against 6 men in the box for 20 yards...10 rushes against other fronts durin the game and didnt average more than 4 yards a carry on any of them.

What’s frustrating is how imposing the DAL passing attack was all night, but only converting once in the red zone is a recipe for a loss.
