Dallas Cowboys: 4 costly plays in the loss to the Jets
By Tyrone Starr
Play Four: 0:43 left in the fourth quarter, Dallas Cowboys ball as they setup for a two-point conversion attempt. Jets lead 24-22.
After an inexplicable decision to call a timeout left four seconds later, the Dallas Cowboys score a touchdown to cut the lead to just two points. Since one timeout is now gone, Dallas only has two left, making the two-point conversion the only option to extend the game.
Why not burn one more and make sure you get the best play possible? Because your Jason Garrett, that’s why.
As the Cowboys huddle up for the conversion play, things look a little frazzled. Again, everyone who has ever watched football knows the Jets will send the house after Prescott. Sure as the sun rising from the East, the ball is snapped, the Jets send a heavy blitz up the middle forcing an errant Prescott throw intended for Witten.
Game over.
After six games, the Dallas Cowboys are 3-3. Sadly, this should have been expected. Dallas has been 3-3 after six games for three straight years and six of the nine years Jason Garrett has been the head coach.
As we head into the midway part of the season, it is increasingly looking like yet another frustrating year for the Dallas Cowboys. There is still time to salvage this season but things will not get any easier.
Next. 6 likely coaching replacements for Jason Garrett. dark
Next week Philadelphia comes to town. If the Cowboys lose that game, things will get extremely uncomfortable as they head into their bye week.
