Week 12 vs. NE

Date published: Nov. 25, 2019

Things got off to a bad start with 1:45 left in the 1Q: Joe Thomas doesn’t block Matthew Slater, and Slater blocks Chris Jones’ punt. Two plays later: Brady to N’Keal Harry.

Next drive: Jarwin drops a pass, Zeke run on second down, Frederick snaps ball high to Dak on third down. Dak attempts sidearm throw to Cooper, but its’ intercepted by Stephon Gilmore.

Plenty more mistakes, and before we know it, 10-0 NE.

DALLAS DOES GET INTO THE REDZONE: On 4th-and7 after three plays that weren’t close, Garrett chooses to kick a field goal. Not a bad decision, cutting the NE lead to 13-9.

AND IT WORKED! DAL gets the ball back, drives to midfield. But a suspect tripping call sends the drive to a fourth-and-11, and Cooper dove for a pass that was ruled incomplete. Game over.
