The Dallas Cowboys visit the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in survival mode.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb run off the field after connecting on a fourth quarter touchdown pass against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, October 27, 2024.on Sunday in survival mode. After an already shaky start, a loss could ensure this is a lost season because it would place Dallas at 3-5 with nine games left, though five NFC East games remain.
Last week, the Cowboys had three corners up for the game, using safety Israel Mukuamu to replace Oruwariye when he was injured.Well, the Cowboys might have Bland and Diggs in the starting lineup against the Falcons, which is a positive for the defense. If not, Carson and Booth are possible starters. Josh Butler and Kemon Hall are on the practice squad and there’s a possibility they could be elevated. The Cowboys are hoping for the best.
Zimmer said opportunities have been missed. He noted in the loss to the Lions there were three missed opportunities to force a turnover, and he said it occurred once against the 49ers when linebacker DeMarvion Overshown sacked quarterback Brock Purdy but didn’t attempt to punch the ball out.“Personally, I’m very frustrated,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “If you want to be known for something as a football team, it’s taking care of the football. I know my experience in the league would reflect that.
With Prescott as the starter, the Cowboys have had three three-game losing streaks. The last time that occurred was Weeks 11-13 in 2019. Of note: Prescott was out with a fractured leg in 2020 when the Cowboys lost four consecutive games in McCarthy’s first season as head coach.
