The Morning After: Cowboys pummel old nemesis, suggesting they have further plans for 2019 season

This game was surely one they wanted to win, but all eyes were on Philadelphia in Week 16 to basically determine the season’s outcome.


Not a great start: 

  • Dak and Jason Garrett botch the coin flip; Walt Anderson misheard, maybe?

  • Kai Forbath kick out of bounds



But weirdly, the Cowboys dominated with a terrible day from their WR:

  • 19 yards for Cooper

  • 6 yards for Gallup

  • -3 yards for Cobb


Good showing by defense after listless performance previous week

  • Solid game from Sean Lee, who sealed the game with an interception in the fourth quarter


Dallas wins sixth game of the year with 400 yards of offense, more than 30 points and a double-digit win margin. No team in Cowboys history has checked those boxes this many times.
