This offseason, Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy explained that he didn't want to light up the scoreboard on offense. He wanted to run the ball and win games, not have the top offense in the NFL. That drew some laughs.
October 16, 2023 at 8:24 pm PDTLos Angeles, CA - October 16: Los Angeles Chargers Scott Matlock looks to tackle Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott in the backfield at SoFi Stadium on Monday, Oct. 16, 2023, in Los Angeles, CA. This offseason, Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy explained that he
In the fourth quarter, the score was tied 10-10. The Cowboys defense was doing its job against Justin Herbert, but Dallas' offense wasn't doing anything. Then Prescott made a few plays early in the fourth quarter. Prescott and the Cowboys offense had been pretty nondescript to that point. But since the defense was playing so well, all the offense needed was a few key plays to take a lead. Then a big special teams miscue gave the ball away.The Cowboys forced another punt, and the return turned into a fiasco. Dallas' Jalen Tolbert was being blocked into the returner, and when the ball bounced away he reacted like someone on the Cowboys had touched it and it was a live ball.
The dream at that point is a clock-eating drive that ends with the go-ahead points. Dallas' offense hadn't been good to that point but it did its job, grinding out a long drive. A defensive penalty on third-and-long kept it going, and Prescott made a nice pass to Lamb for 18 yards on third-and-six to keep the drive going and the clock moving. Then came another big third-down pass to Cooks. Prescott was good when he absolutely needed to be.
