Week 11 vs. DET

Date published: Nov. 18, 2019

“Several DAL players stepped up to make plays that were the difference between another catastrophic defeat and a victory that was not always aesthetically pleasing but nevertheless added to the win column.”

DAL offense runs up over 500 yards of offense, 400 yards of passing and 35 points.

Jason Garrett and Kellen Moore seem to be putting the ball in Dak’s hands more. Offense is averaging more than 400 yards in the past four games - 59 percent of their plays and 73 percent of their yards coming through the air. 

Trailed 14-0, started throwing way more.

Got Tony Pollard involved a ton in this game.

HUGE PLAY: Tavon Austin breaks up a bad Dak pass that would have been intercepted by Slay.

Turned game around with a 35-21 lead.
