It took nine games, but Brandin Cooks finally broke out for the Cowboys on Sunday. And it's just what their offense has been missing.
Jerry Jones sounded a bit off when he refused to order his front office to trade for a wide receiver at the deadline. It seemed so obvious how badly they needed one to take the pressure off CeeDee Lamb. He had to know his team would never be a true Super Bowl contender until they found another weapon. It turns out, they perhaps had one all along.
A game like this, after all, is what the Cowboys expected out of the 30-year-old Cooks when they traded a fifth- and sixth-round pick to Houston to acquire him back in March. But he has never seemed like a good fit in the puzzle of the Mike McCarthy offense — or at least hadn't seemed like a piece that McCarthy wanted to use. But the way Cooks was used on Sunday showed how valuable he can be. 'His opportunities came together,' McCarthy said.
