Dallas Cowboys defense is peaking, but the offense still seeking
As it continually has been for the last few weeks, the Cowboys’ offense didn’t kill them, but they didn’t help. CeeDee Lamb has to make a better block, period. Prescott has to be more aware when scrambling. He gave up a fumble because he had no idea that the defender was peeling down on him. To be fair, Lamb was supposed to pick up that block.

They should both be better there, but you can take encouragement away from the fact that both Prescott and Moore were looking for something big there. That’s what this offense is missing.
Although not often, the offense has shown an ability to string plays or a drive together. Making the big play or the play big enough to get into the box for a touchdown has been something different.
Prescott both made some really good throws and missed some key ones against the Giants. But you can’t blame it all on him. The entire offensive unit needs to be better, sharper, and crisper as they look to close the season. This current game plan isn’t going to cut it in the playoffs.
