Cowboys proved they don't have to blow every close game, here's what we learned
The Cowboys finally showed a defense that can win a game, a respectable second running back option, and one player can be poor and great in one game.
The Dallas Cowboys demonstrated they can secure victories without blowing lead-laden games, according to the team's recent performance. Despite giving away a game-ending field goal and failing to score a touchdown in a goal-to-go situation against the Baltimore Ravens, the Cowboys ultimately emerged victorious. They also suffered a heartbreak when they lost a home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, coming up short after blowing a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter.
However, under the guidance of head coach Brian Schottenheimer, the Cowboys showcased a defensive performance that led to a win, marking their first full four-quarter defensive-led victory in multiple seasons. Quarterback Dak Prescott showcased resilience in the face of adversity, driving the team to a late win despite committing 14 penalties for 153 yards.
Quarterback CeeDee Lamb, despite several penalties and a lost fumble, was the team's best player, accumulating 195 yards and a touchdown. The defense's stellar performance and the impact of Tyler Goodson, who made significant contributions in a game he's unlikely to play again due to injury, are two key takeaways from this Cowboys' win.
