It depends. Could another quarterback have led an offense better than these possession results?
- Punt (50 second drive)
- Punt (less than two minute drive)
- Fumble (running back | nine second drive)
- Punt (90 second drive)
- Touchdown (fifth possession | five and a half minute drive)
- Punt (45 second drive)
- Ran out of time (50 seconds | doesn't matter)
- Field goal (Kicker is the most dependable player on the 2023 roster. The... kicker... | 3-minute drive)
- Interception (79 seconds drive)
- Interception (14 seconds drive)
- Interception (69 seconds drive)
- Punt (3 minutes and 55 seconds of futility drive)
- Ran out of time (104 seconds of who cares?)
One thing is true if the answer is yes. The Dallas defense would not have been on the field
61% of the time, may have been more rested and effective, and San Francisco's offense would have been on the field fewer drives.
Would Dallas had still lost? Probably, but it would not have been 42-10.
Pathetic.
