FRISCO, Texas – There’s bound to be a lot of good stuff from a 21-point win.
As has been the case several times this season, the Cowboys had the win in hand with plenty of time to play on Monday night. The reasoning for that was an efficient night from the offense, along with some spectacular adjustments by a swarming defense.
You know all of this if you watched the game. But as usual, there’s plenty of details that get lost in the shuffle of an NFL game. So here’s my breakdown of the film, starting with some inspired moments from the offense. But we didn’t forget to focus on a fantastic effort from the defense.
Here are some highlights:
On the Brice Butler touchdown, the Lions showed Dak Prescott a two-deep look pre-snap and then rolled to a single-high safety with Rafael Bush moving down to take Jason Witten. What was great about the play was that it appeared Dak Prescott saw the two-deep coverage and opted for vertical routes to beat the coverage. With Bush coming down and Miles Killebrew working wide, it created a seam in the coverage, which Butler was able to take advantage of. I believe that -- even with the initial pre-snap look -- Prescott was going to attempt to fit the ball inside to Butler, who had to use every inch of his frame to pull it down for the touchdown.
