FRISCO, Texas – It’s not fun to do after a loss, but as Cowboys coach Jason Garrett likes to say: you’ve got to remove emotion from the situation and watch the tape.

If you can do that, you can get into the nuts and bolts of what the Cowboys did well – and, obviously, what they did poorly. There’s a lot to unpack from this game, as we saw an impressive Cowboys team for the first 30 minutes and a forgettable one for the second 30 minutes.

Here are my primary impressions from my studies: Read

  • If Aaron Donald doesn’t hit Dak Prescott’s arm on the opening drive, I think he finds Dez Bryant for a first down and likely a touchdown. Prescott saw Bryant pivot back to the outside, and just as he was raising his arm to throw, Donald hit his elbow, causing him to pull the ball down. I thought initially that Prescott had to re-grip the ball, but that wasn’t the case. Prescott tried to slide forward in the pocket, but La’el Collins couldn’t hold off Michael Brockers, resulting in the sack and forcing the field goal attempt.
