Cowboys special teams under fire after risky Seahawks matchup
Players fighting for an NFL career caused concern at Lumen Field despite the 17-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday.
The Dallas Cowboys' special teams unit found itself under scrutiny following a risky play against the Seattle Seahawks. Wide receiver Traeshon Holden mishandled two punt returns, first by attempting to pick up the ball at the 2-yard line, which resulted in it being called back for too many players on the field. The Cowboys' defense ultimately recovered a muffed punt by Holden, which led to an opposing touchdown.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer admitted the play demonstrated "sloppy football," a characteristic he attributed to the team's carelessness. Despite this, the defense's performance was commended, stopping the Seahawks on four consecutive drives from reaching the end zone.
