FRISCO, Texas — The most embarrassing run, perhaps, was Aaron Jones’ touchdown.

The Packers faced second-and-5, the game tied at 7 with 1:48 to play in the second quarter. Dallas’ left defensive end and interior lineman traded gaps, but wires crossed on the right side. Suddenly, defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. and defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna were attacking the same gap.

And an interior lane was wide open for the Packers' star running back to exploit.

Jones bounced through the gap, cut back left and rounded the left sideline home. He spun as he leapt into the end zone, grabbing his crotch mid-air for full effect. A failure of the Cowboys’ interior run defense triggered their first deficit.

Repeated failures of the perimeter run defense would seal their final one, a 31-28 Packers decision in overtime.

I'm old enough to remember when many thought Cee Dee Lamb was better than Justin Jefferson.

Good times.

 

[Direwolf63]

Cowboys can't stop the run. I expect Dalvin Cook to have a big day.

Just seen on NFLN, Jefferson is on the injury report with a toe issue.
They do not expect it to be an issue, but something to keep an eye on. He was listed with a limited practice.

Zeke also was still listed as limited, however, he had a full practice, but it was only a walk through practice, as Wednesdays is only a walk through day for Dallas.
Therefore they kept him as limited.

So were going to get obliterated not only by Air (Jefferson) but by land and sea too (Dalvin). Great.

Jefferson is going to make plays as usual but I'm more worried about Cook having a field day and controlling the clock

The key to watch is LT Christian Darrisaw. He is rated the #1 LT right now and is in concussion protocol. He DNP yesterday. I am sure he will be fine come Sunday

Not if Kirk if on his back most of the time.
That takes care of the air part anyway.

 

[JayFord]

you wont have to worry about Jefferson if they let the Vikings run for 400 yards per carry

Maybe if Kellen Moron runs the ball 35 times, Dallas can limit some of Minnesota's offensive damage. A big maybe.

I expect us to lose this game for 3 reasons.... our ability to stop the run is horrible, Zeke isn't playing and Pollard won't be able to handle a steady work load because Zeke won't play, and KM, (the dumbest offensive coordinator in the NFL) will call 80 pass plays because Zeke isn't playing.

Unless you're Mahomes or Brady, that's not the formula to victory.

That realization lasted half a season.

eagkes are kicking themselves.

you must have missed the last two games without zeke.

Run game is averaging 180 yards per game st a 7.8 ypc clip with 2.5 rushing tds per game.



during that time pollard is destroying it and averaging 20 touches per game!!

the gig is up……cowboys are much better without zeke.

Cowboys ran the ball 31 times last game. 3rd most on the season.

sorry, another one of your laughable comments disproved instantly with the facts.

Well apparently they didn't have enough faith in Pollard to help protect a 14 point lead with the run game like 95% of other NFL team's would do going into the 4th quarter.

The gig is up and he didn't finish the Packers off eating clock.

Jefferson is the best Wide receiver in football. The Eagles drafted a TCU receiver over Jefferson. I think the Cowboys did ok. Could have had the Bama boys and you would be screaming bloody murder.

Hell yah they did. Cowboys ran the ball 31 times. 3rd most on the season. In overtime they also came out pounding the ball with great success. They were just negated by penalty.

Another laughable comment punted. Are you just making this stuff up? Lol

do your research before you open your mouth. Your getting owned at this point.

Jefferson is top 5

kupp, Jefferson, Adam’s, chase in no particular order.

sorry, put hill on there also

I think by the end of the season Cee Dee will be top 10. I saw Keshawn rankings of receivers under 25 and had Davonte Smith and Tee Higgins over him. I get the Dak defense but let’s not act like CeeDee is a bum.

I'm still waiting for that one positive post I ask you for. With almost 8,000 posts you have there has to be ONE, right? Even all the other trolls here have at least one.
