...After running the ball effectively, one of the biggest keys to the Cowboys offense success is their ability to use the play-action pass when Dak lines up under center.
For a few weeks, it seemed like defenses were anticipating the play-action bootleg from Dak. The amount of pressure that Dak has faced on bootlegs, and the play-action in general, has been drastically reduced in every game since Green Bay.
