The Dallas Cowboys played on short rest last week, facing off against Tennessee in Week 17. With multiple starters unavailable, it turned into one of the ugliest games of the season. The teams combined for five turnovers and 159 penalty yards across 13 accepted infractions. While the Titans had 10 of them, the Cowboys accounted for three of the turnovers and had their own offensive woes to reflect on.
The Cowboys struggled running the ball, with Ezekiel Elliott missing his backfield mate Tony Pollard. Quarterback Dak Prescott threw two interceptions, again, one of which was a drop by a pass catcher, again.
While it wasn’t pretty, winning ugly put Dallas in position to not only win the division in Week 18, but the No. 1 seed is still in play. That will keep the starters in play while the game is still competitive, and make these three keys to victory more attainable.
